He Quit Power to Help the Poor | Mayank Gandhi | Zero Filter | EP 1

From fighting corruption on the streets with Anna Hazare, to becoming a founding member of Aam Aadmi Party, to walking away from politics altogether — Mayank Gandhi’s journey is not what you expect.

In this episode of Zero Filter, he talks about:
• Why movements like India Against Corruption wouldn’t work the same today
• What really happens after political promises
• Why technology — not protests — is the only way to reduce corruption
• His unpopular take on EVMs and election narratives
• Why he won’t start another political movement
• A model he believes can transform Indian agriculture

He now works with some of India’s poorest farmers in Marathwada’s Beed district, one of the regions hardest hit by farmer suicides – and says their incomes grew 10X (₹38,000 to nearly ₹4 lakh a year).

Not a feel-good story — a reality check on systems, power, and what actually creates change.

Watch till the end.
