About

Have you ever noticed how the most meaningful conversations don’t always happen in meeting rooms — but in places where people feel seen, heard, and understood?

But what if the path to resolving community conflict lay not in loud interventions, but in quiet listening?

In this episode of Mediators in Disguise, we step into the world of Dr. Anand Bang — a doctor and public health practitioner whose work spans the fields of medicine, policy, and grassroots change. From walking village paths in rural Maharashtra to working with SEARCH (Society for Education, Action and Research in Community Health), his journey is built on bridging the spaces between tradition and science, hesitation and hope.

Whether he’s facilitating discussions on health, guiding communities through uncertainty, or helping different worlds understand each other, his approach is grounded in empathy, patience, and deep listening.

Because sometimes, the most powerful mediation doesn’t cure illness — it heals divides.
