Activating Change With Pallavi Dean

Activating Change With Pallavi Dean

Pullman Voices, created with Monocle, is more than a podcast, it’s a space where ideas spark, evolve, and challenge the norm. Through bold conversations, we highlight voices shaping culture and pushing boundaries.

“I do seek out change, and I do seek out evolution. Because why else are we here? If we're not here to better ourselves? If we're not here to be curious? And I think that's one thing with change. If you really are seeking out change, it comes from a place of curiosity. And I think all creatives inherently. I think that's just within us. We're very curious people.”

In this first episode of Monocle’s collaboration with Pullman Hotels and Resorts, Monocle’s Tom Edwards is in Dubai to meet the architect and founder of design practice Roar, Pallavi Dean. A seasoned globe-trotter, Dean is no stranger to new geographies and beginnings. We ask her how activating change can help to breed the resilience and agility needed to grow.

This episode looks at the challenges of navigating change without losing a sense of purpose. Featuring leaders who have faced personal and professional adversity, this episode discusses how discomfort can lead to growth and resilience, drawing parallels to Pullman Hotels and Resorts dynamic approach to design and innovation.​
