U n' I with Rashmi Shetty - Rakesh Shukla

  Our guest today Mr. Rakesh Shukla has been speaking in business conferences across the world for decades, and animal welfare for 5yrs but his TEDx talk has funneled into a series of speaker requests as it showcases his commitment to the now-750 dogs in his care through a turbulent three years designed to bankrupt a multimillion-dollar enterprise. The personal and professional threats that precipitated these three challenging years; Rakesh’s response to these attacks; and the current turning of the tide make for a classic resourcefulness-in-the-face-of-adversity story -- with one major difference. When you have 750 lives depending on you, your choices need to be more than just strategic or pragmatic. Rakesh’s choices and experiences describe a uniquely personal journey against a landscape that is equal parts business, and non-profit. It is a real-life story that is inspiring, innovative, and courageous. It is tailored for senior & middle management, as well as newer hires. Rakesh combines the ‘personal’ principles of character, commitment, defining success & planning for it, with years of his own hands-on management experience as well as the rigor of having taught in a B-school for several years. Rakesh is an electronics engineer and MBA by training,
