Founder of Mashq Talks, Umar Nisar tells ANI that he tried to offer Kashmir its own “Ted Talks”. “It is as same as ‘Ted Talks’. We started a podcast, through which we targeted 100 Kashmiri influencers and featured them. Kashmir has an abundance of talent but at the same time, it lacks a platform. So, I created this,” founder Nisar said.
