Born on 6 June 1992 in Mumbai, I was born into a harmonious blend of Gujarati and Punjabi cultures. I hail from a family deeply rooted in both education and entrepreneurship. With a grandfather serving as a respected school principal and a father, Jayesh Joshi, who ventured into establishing his own successful business, the values of independence and self-reliance were instilled in me from an early age. My mother, Anita Joshi, also played a significant role in shaping these values. Inspired by their legacy, I harboured aspirations of carving my own path in life, driven by a desire to make my mark independently.
Immersing myself fully in our family business, I discovered a newfound passion and sense of purpose, particularly during the challenging times brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. Alongside my professional endeavours, I also enjoy hobbies such as numerology and watching spiritual videos, which provide a balanced and enriched life.
However, life’s journey is rarely smooth, and amidst professional success, I encountered personal trials that tested my strength and resilience. Struggling through a challenging phase in relationships and grappling with recurring health issues, I found myself at a crossroads. It was during this dark period that I made a pivotal decision to delve deeper into my interests and hobbies, seeking solace and renewal.
Despite dabbling in various creative pursuits such as theatre and filmmaking, I found myself searching for fulfilment. My educational journey began at St. Joseph High School and continued at MJ Pancholia College. It wasn’t until after completing my MBA in media and advertising from the Welingkar Institute of Management that I recognized my true calling lay within the realm of business, following in my father’s footsteps.
Drawing upon my love for communication and connection, I embarked on a new venture – podcasting. With the blessings of my parents and the unwavering support of my friends, I launched “The Chat Cart” in 2023. Featuring guests from diverse backgrounds – politicians, filmmakers, army officers, and more – the podcast became a platform for meaningful conversations and shared insights. Notable personalities such as Shri Gopal Shetty and Dr. Radhakrishna Pillai graced our episodes, enriching our listeners’ experiences.
Despite initial doubts about the name, “The Chat Cart” resonated with our audience, becoming a beloved symbol of our unique approach to storytelling. As we continue to produce episodes and expand our reach, the podcast has become an integral part of my life’s journey, allowing me to blend my professional pursuits with my passion for communication.
Guided by the principles of Radha Swami Satsang Beas, meditation and Satsang have provided me with invaluable support and helped cultivate a sense of inner peace and confidence.
In essence, my journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of following one’s passions. Through the highs and lows, I remain committed to forging my own path and embracing the opportunities for growth and connection that life presents.
