In this episode of The Self-Leader Podcast, host Anks is joined by Chris Desai, an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and founder of The Vayu Foundation. Known as the “Rottweiler of Conservation,” Chris shares his extraordinary journey from personal challenges and career highs to answering a more profound calling that bridges sustainability, humanity, and purpose.

Through candid reflections, Chris reveals how his upbringing, career in fashion and music, and a life-changing six months on the ocean reshaped his priorities and led him to create transformative global initiatives. From addressing ocean plastics to empowering marginalised communities, Chris’s mission is as ambitious as it is inspiring.

This conversation explores what it means to align personal growth with meaningful impact and why stepping into your purpose can create a ripple of change for others. If you’re ready to challenge how you see the world—and your role in it—this episode is for you.
