Hello and welcome back to Redirected. My name is Andrew East and this is a show where we sit down with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, really anybody who has experienced a pivot or change in life. I call these changes, redirections.

At some point or another, we all go through them, including myself. I went from studying civil engineering and undergraduate to playing NFL football to ultimately creating digital content full time.

I wanted to sit down with other people who have made it through these transitions and made it through them well to Gleene Wisdom but also to hear some pretty good stories.

Today we sit down with Rushi Roy who is a part of our Forbes 30 under 30 series and she's an amazing story.

She is a first generation Indian American and tells us her journey from really being an overachiever and getting the dream job per se of being an investment banker and how she walked away from that to co-found a skincare company called Avrani.

She is a VR-ANI, I'll link the website down below but just like herself Avrani has its roots in Indian culture and traditions and they make some amazing products with ingredients like turmeric and almond oil.

So Rushi tells us how she made this transition from investment baking to co-founding a skincare company and the things that she learned along the way.

So if you want to find out more about Rushi as well as about Avrani I'll link that in the show notes and before jump into it. If you haven't subscribed to the show or given it a rating please do so on whatever platform you're listening on.

Let's go ahead and jump in this one with Rushi Roy.

Rushi it's a pleasure to meet you thanks for taking the time to sit down with me this morning.

Thank you for having me Andrew this is such a privilege.

A couple things first I feel like I need to start off by congratulating you. I guess you just got married two months ago, three months ago is alright?

I did thank you so much. It was a volatile process to get there with all the uncertainty but it turned out better than I could have imagined.

So thank you.

Did you get married in Michigan or?

I got married in my husband's house in Virginia.

So my parents drove over from Detroit. His parents were there and it was very intimate but lovely.

Awesome.

So yeah. The other thing is I saw you went to IU and I'm from Indianapolis and I grew up going to Lake Limon which is not too far from IU's campus.

So I love meeting Hoosiers.

Go Hoosiers yes that's amazing.

Are you going to leave in the Annapolis?
