Probus, one of India’s insurtech companies, has launched ‘Second Innings – Stories of Resilience,’ a compelling podcast series that explores the financial struggles of accomplished individuals and their journey to stability. The series brings to light the often-overlooked financial challenges behind success stories, offering listeners both insight and inspiration.
The debut episode features international athlete Parag Patil, a veteran of the 2010 International Veterans’ Athletics Championship, where he secured three medals for India. Despite his achievements, Patil, like many athletes in the country, faced persistent financial hurdles. Recognizing this struggle, Probus stepped in, encouraging him to navigate his financial journey with stability and confidence.
The ongoing podcast series shares stories of individuals from diverse fields, highlighting their financial struggles and their journey toward financial stability. Upcoming episodes will continue to feature inspiring narratives, reinforcing Probus’ commitment to providing a second chance for people to build a supplementary source of income.
‘Second Innings – Stories of Resilience’ is streaming on YouTube. The highlights are being shared as short-form content on Instagram Reels and Shorts, ensuring these impactful stories reach a wider audience.
Speaking about the debut episode, Mr. Rakesh Goyal, Director, Probus, said, “In India, an athlete's journey usually begins with challenges, not opportunity. Meaningful assistance arrives only after they have achieved something meaningful on their own. Mr. Patil’s story is just one of many that illustrate this broader reality. However, the need for support is greatest at the beginning—at which strict training, psychological encouragement, financial stability, and access to proper nutrition and equipment are critical. At Probus, we recognize this gap and have taken a proactive step to address it. Through our initiative, we are committed to ensuring that aspiring athletes – including those among our employees’ children, receive the necessary resources early on—whether it is for training costs, travel, equipment, or other things ¬¬- so that they can bring real glory to India tomorrow.”
