It’s one thing to follow a career based on how lucrative it is. It is another to follow your heart and create a career based on how much value it adds to the world.
In the fifth episode of The Brown Box podcast hosted by Rani Jeyaraj, created in collaboration with eShe, we have a discussion with two successful media entrepreneurs on the subject of following your passion and creating a new professional path driven by the will to do good.
Suparnaa Chadda
Suparnaa Chadda is a media personality and social entrepreneur who founded the SABERA awards with the purpose of highlighting corporates and individuals who are creating positive impact in the world.
Suparnaa has more than two decades of experience in media but has made a conscious decision to focus on the positive narrative and move away from sensationalism.
Tanu Ganguly
Tanu Ganguly was a digital and broadcast media senior executive at NDTV for 18 years as the editor of NDTV Food. She left this lucrative job, the only company she had ever worked for, to set up her own company, Mishry.
Mishry is a food review website that taps into the experience and knowledge of women, homemakers, mothers, grandmothers and everyone in between to review all kinds of products in the cooking and dining space – from spices, sauces to dairy products and staples like rice, atta and dals.
They talk about their journeys as entrepreneurs and as women on quests to add value to the world they live in.

About Rani Jeyaraj
Rani Jeyaraj is a content creator who has spent over 20 years telling the stories of different individuals from the APAC region through videos and podcasts. Beginning her working career as a model, it didn’t take long for Rani to realise that her true calling was behind the camera and not in front of it.
She worked her way up from a runner to an assistant director, finally branching out on her own as an ad film director. A shift to Singapore allowed her to broaden her passion for storytelling. She now creates ads, travel shows, online content and podcasts – the format doesn’t really matter, she just loves to tell people’s stories.
