Nikesh Patel: ‘People want to dial back woke… not on my watch!’

“This thing of DEI has gone too far, the successful rebranding of woke and reframing it as, ‘thank God we can dial that back’… I’ve got no time for it,” he says, “The beliefs that underpin your life and how you move through the world, and whether you’re seen as an equal, people aren’t suddenly going to abandon them. And think, we’ve had too many years of diversity on screen, let’s go back to the good old days. That’s not going to happen. Well, not on my watch!”
