EP 74: Insatiable Curiosity and Kin-Keeping with Suprita Kudesia

In this episode, Lis is joined by Suprita Kudesia, Founder of Feta, a family history tool that stands the test of time. She speaks about the role of a curiosity quest in her life and career, her experience developing an app alongside her life and parenting partner, and how her current hobbies bring her both joy and opportunities to be present.

For many of us, organizing scrapbooks, photo albums, and memory banks is a task we don’t look forward to. Suprita shares how the app she and her partner are developing, Feta, is transforming the experience of memory keeping. This work embodies Suprita’s love for storytelling and desire to be a conduit for other peoples’ life experiences.

Curiosity has been a throughline in Suprita’s professional journey from international development to the corporate world and now entrepreneurship. She shares how motherhood has inspired her practice of presence, her approach to hobbies and a portfolio lifestyle, and the magic she has experienced in past GCC Magicminds as both a facilitator and a participant.
