Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. announced the return of Hausla Empowered, its startup-focused docuseries presented as part of Kotak BizLabs, a CSR initiative of the organisation. Season 2 features four entrepreneurs addressing real-world challenges: Pradivya AI’s work on railway safety, Lifespark Technologies’ Parkinson’s care solution, SabjiKothi’s approach to reducing post-harvest farm losses and Easiofy Solutions’ early disease detection tools.
The new season puts the founders’ journeys at the centre of the story, showing how technology, innovation and persistence are being applied to everyday problems across mobility, healthcare and agriculture. The series will stream on MX Player Prime Video and Kotak’s digital platforms, extending visibility for founders from the Kotak BizLabs ecosystem.
Rohit Bhasin – Head of Business Banking and Chief Marketing Officer at Kotak Mahindra Bank, said, “Hausla is the courage to turn an idea into action. These four founders are using technology and innovation to address challenges that affect people’s everyday lives, from safer railways and better Parkinson’s care to reducing farm losses and enabling earlier diagnosis.
“Through Hausla Empowered, we want more people to be inspired through the conviction behind these solutions and the entrepreneurs building them,” Bhasin added.
The first season of Hausla Empowered premiered in October 2025 and featured founders from the Kotak BizLabs ecosystem. It generated more than 30 million views across platforms. Season 2 builds on that format with a launch film and four documentary episodes focused on founders working on real-world challenges.
