Raj Shamani

About

In an era where everyone is chasing attention, Raj Shamani is focussed on something more enduring: trust. The creator-turned-entrepreneur has built Figuring Out Media into one of India's fastest-growing new-age media companies, producing long-form conversations with global leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers, quietly building a media-tech business around distribution and influence. “People think attention spans are shrinking. I don’t think attention is reducing—people’s ability to judge content has increased,” he says. But then, content is one part of the story. Shamani sees himself in the business of amplifying ideas and expertise. “We’re in the business of making knowledge accessible at scale.” His ambitions are global. Shamani believes India has all the ingredients to produce world-class creators, but lacks representation on the global stage. “Our time is just getting started,” he says. Over the next decade, he wants to build products that put Indian creators and businesses among the world’s best, while expanding Figuring Out Media internationally.
