Raj Nayak - Bringing happiness to the world
The theme of today’s episode is happiness, and my guest is a man who knows a thing or two about the subject - Raj Nayak. Raj left a high flying job in one of India’s largest media networks to launch his own business driving positive change and bringing happiness to workplaces around the world. But how do you even begin to talk about happiness when there is so much devastation in the world right now, especially in India, where Raj is based? We get to talking about this among many other topics in today’s episode of the podcast. Raj spent over 3 decades in media. He was one of the founding members of Rupert Murdoch’s company Star TV in India, he launched India’s largest news network NDTV, and then joined Viacom where spent 8 years, ending up as the chief operating officer. He shares how and why he quit his job to start his new mission, some of the challenges he’s faced already and those that he anticipates are up ahead and we talk about one of his old companies that had a tattoo allowance, and whether or not Raj took advantage of this unusual perk! Raj has also started a ‘global happiness campaign’ which you can get involved in by filming a 45- 60 second video in horizontal mode about what happiness means to you, with your name and location and emailing it to [email protected].
