Our readers would like to know about you a little bit, both personal & professional front.
Rahul: Absolutely! I was born in Nasik, Maharashtra and brought up in many cities and countries, including Mumbai, Shanghai (China), Coimbatore, Dubai, and London. I was schooled in all these different places and across different cultures and languages. When I was in Shanghai in China, we picked up Mandarin and I also had a chance to act in Chinese opera which was telecast on the local television channel. That was a lot of fun. (He chuckles) After my peripatetic schooling days, I did my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the UK, finally graduating from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) after having read for an MSc in Organisational Behaviour. I started my career in financial services, starting out as a private client stockbroker. I later moved on to create a niche real-estate company in Dubai, post which I conceptualized and developed my own coffee shop in Kochi.
I have always been fascinated with building stuff – finding problems to solve, and that started during my university days. Before starting Storiyoh, I was working for a large education company in London, heading their Intelligence unit. We were looking at promising innovations in the space. When it comes to education, I think that we all learn all throughout our lives. The traditional education system isn’t designed for that. Haha, that could be a story in itself. (laughing hard) Anyway, at the time, I had started listening to podcasts. This must be 2014-2015. I’ve been a big BBC Buff of my entire life. The stories I was listening to while traveling to the office and back felt phenomenal. That’s when it struck me. I found myself tuning into podcasts whenever I had a few minutes to myself – in commute, between meetings, over the morning coffee. I found them better use of my time than listening to music or idling.
