Tune in to The Nila Extract, the award-winning radio show founded and hosted by your favourite Tamil gal, Nila Varman, whose show strives to amplify the voices of various communities, including her own, by having emotional, raw and uncomfortable conversations to dispel various socially pressing issues that have often been relegated to taboo.

She does this by having these conversations with herself or with inspirational activists, advocates and celebrities from all walks of life, thus she showcases the untold stories of underrepresented and marginalised communities, alongside music and fun segments. Nila is also the winner of the SRA, BBC and Global Best Student Radio Presenter 2021, and has also received multiple accolades on her educational platform of the same name including a place in the top 10 on Spotify's New Wave.
