THE GADGET GURUS
Rajiv Makhni
India's Tech Guru Rajiv Makhni is as strange as they come. He anchors multiple TV shows on technology (one in chaste Hindi), owns a large clothing company (but makes clothes only for women), loves food so much that he ran a chain of restaurants (and samples everything, everyday), was a successful model (and manages to look sufficiently embarrassed about it when asked) and is currently writing a book (not on technology). He is a multiple award-winning columnist and writes for major publications in India and Abroad including the Outlook group, Hindustan Times, Mansworld, T3, Travel and Leisure International, The Man, M Magazines etc. He is an Engineer and an MBA and has just discovered that Fatherhood may well be the best education in life. What makes him India's Tech Guru? "Technology should be understood at the most complex levels but presented at its simplest and I think I do that best" he says. Is he a Good at what he does? Yes! Is he modest about it? No!
