Some entrepreneurs build businesses. Others build conversations, communities, and lasting impact. Rashi Khanna has done all three.

Fontula is delighted to welcome Rashi Khanna to Fontula Power 20, our editorial initiative celebrating entrepreneurs, innovators, and changemakers who are redefining leadership through purpose, resilience, and impact.

With more than 25 years of experience across corporate leadership and entrepreneurship, Rashi has established herself as a respected entrepreneur, P-PaaS specialist (Podcast Production as a Service), TEDx speaker, podcast host, counselor, aroma alchemist, and power community builder. As the Founder and CEO of KYAA MATLAB NETWORK, she has helped individuals and businesses harness the power of podcasting and authentic storytelling to build meaningful brands and stronger connections.

Beyond business, Rashi is the Honorary Founder Chair of the Ra by Rashi Foundation, where she champions SMEs, women entrepreneurs, and underserved communities through storytelling, podcast initiatives, and digital empowerment. Her work is driven by a philosophy she calls Hyper Empathy—the belief that genuine human connection creates lasting transformation.

A NIMHANS-certified Lay Counsellor, Rashi is equally passionate about mental well-being and authentic leadership. She believes true success lies not in projecting perfection but in embracing vulnerability, learning from setbacks, and helping others rise along the way. Her willingness to speak openly about motherhood, personal struggles, and entrepreneurial challenges has made her a relatable and trusted voice for thousands. Her initiative, EMPATHE, works closely with individuals facing alcohol and substance abuse challenges, offering support, awareness, and pathways toward recovery.

Through UPODD UAE Rashi Khanna is building a vibrant ecosystem where entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders connect, collaborate, and grow together in the UAE. The platform reflects her vision of empowering communities through premium podcasts and purposeful networking.

Her influence extends across business, education, and media. She has delivered podcasting sessions at leading institutions, including the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), advised entrepreneurs on personal branding and digital storytelling, and continues to create platforms that amplify meaningful voices through her podcast school Kyaa Matlab Voice Netwrok. She has also served in an advisory role with the Central Board of Film Certification and successfully advanced to the pre-finals of Shark Tank, reflecting her innovative approach to entrepreneurship.

At Fontula, we believe leadership is measured not only by achievements but by the lives one inspires. Rashi Khanna embodies that belief through her commitment to empowering entrepreneurs, fostering empathy, and creating opportunities for others to tell their stories.

We are proud to feature Rashi Khanna in Fontula Power 20 and celebrate her remarkable journey of leadership, resilience, and purposeful impact.
