About the Show

Desi [d̪eːsi] are the people, cultures, and products of South Asia and their diaspora, derived from Ancient Sanskrit देश (deśá), meaning Land or Country.*

Successful Desi is a show that explores success in a desi context by interviewing and sharing the stories of desi people who have become successful in their chosen areas. Successful Desi is hosted by Rupi Singh

Goal of Successful Desi is to share the secrets of some of the most successful desi personalities around with a bigger audience and to highlight that success can be achieved in a multitude of ways - conventional and unconventional.

Successful Desi is about positive and constructive conversations that we can learn from, not "gotchas". No fake conflict! no talking heads yelling at each other! Just genuine conversation and knowledge sharing.

In each episode, Rupi interviews guests to discover and understand the secrets of their success - their mindset, their methods, their habits / routines and the path they followed as well as their personal stories. These stories will inspire you, guide you and entertain you.

Whether they are in India or Pakistan, US or UK or anywhere else in the world. Whether they started from next to nothing or they came up with a support system. From entrepreneurship to poetry, from acting to running a business, from comedy to economics, from history to politics - Successful Desi brings you people at the top of their game.
