YT93 | They said “Pick One Career”. He said “No”. And Now He Is Foolish and Fulfilled.

What if your “crazy” career switch actually led you to your life’s purpose? In this episode of YanaTV, I sit down with Harish Kumar—a storyteller, creative entrepreneur and artist whose journey is anything but straight. From drawing frogs in biology class to directing ad films, launching radio stations and eventually designing immersive spaces, Harish has followed curiosity over convention. We talk about growing up all over India, jumping careers without a plan, and what it means to find your “play” in work. If you’ve ever felt stuck in one path, his story might just inspire you to take the scenic route.
