Looking back, it is with pleasure that I doff my hat to this lady who stood her ground, strived for success and persevered till it was assured to her; and then, continued to strive and snowball her way into the homes and hearts of so many through various media and event vehicles. Proving that there is never a finish line... but a passion for going onwards and upwards! ‘Anokhi’ truly describes her.

Raj is one of the most passionate people that I know, whom I admire so much. She injects passion into all that she does; passion for life, passion for the community, passion for business; literally everything that she is associated with. Whether she is focusing on personal development or on business growth, she has and is, making a big impact. With a natural capacity to see a person’s raw talent, Raj has helped countless businesswomen (me included), to follow their passion and hone their skills, to build a business doing something they love. I'm grateful to know Raj, who is so humble, so encouraging, and has the capacity to make what’s seemingly impossible, possible

Raj Girn is an exceptional, admirable and strong individual that is a well-known brand in itself in the industry for her entrepreneurship in different genres. I have had the honour to work with her on numerous occasions. Our corporate relations with Anokhi Media truly set a mark for us and it helped develop a fashion/beauty segment to the next level that lead us to a pinnacle of success.
When it came to marketing, she leads her team with her expertise and knew exactly how to get results. Furthermore, her numerous successful events and social media empire really shows her love and dedication through her work ethics. Not only does she empower businesses, she also empowers souls and really helps connect the missing piece.
I am really glad that I have had the pleasure to be a part of her organization. I would truly recommend Raj Girn for all her areas of expertise. She is not only a professional but a role model.

I have known Raj for years, mostly through conversations online and by reputation. But once she steps into the room, bulbs flash and you automatically get re-charged. She carries that energy! Often, I wonder how she does that, the ability to be there full of life, energy and motivation; truly one of a kind. Her passion for life and her ability to shine is contagious

I was fortunate enough to share a stage with Raj once or perhaps I should say ‘unfortunate’, because Raj was such a crackling ball of energy and fun, that she stole the show par for the course for her. I continue to watch her achievements with admiration and respect.
Iman Grewal

Raj Girn is the pioneer, trailblazer, trend setting genius brain behind the incredibly successful ANOKHI MEDIA brand. Raj has been a female empowering leader with many events being held to showcase and celebrate women Internationally and locally. Raj is dynamic, well spoken, professional, knowledgeable person, which is just stating the obvious, but the beauty and brains combination is what it took to turn a quarterly print magazine (which is what it started as over 15 years ago), to an International media brand, I continuously recommend and refer Raj to many of my clients as the expert in her field. Raj is always growing and that is why she is a force to be reckoned with.
If you are looking for a brand expert in media who is an expert who holds relationships with high level executive brands and celebrities alike, Raj is your go to. Thank you for your support over the years Raj.
Indira Naidoo-Harris

I met a young woman in 2001 who had a sparkle in her eye, who I realized was hard working, talented, dedicated, and had a vision. I knew that she was someone special. I was working at Omni and we wound up working together. Something impressed me about her right from the beginning and that was that she had vision and she had big ideas. That person was Raj Girn.
Jake Dheer
Senior Manager
Rogers Media Inc.
Raj Girn had this vision about 15 years ago and look at where she’s brought it. It was a small magazine that became an international, respected brand that’s truly ‘anokhi’ (unique), as she is. Congratulations, I’m so proud of you for what you have achieved

Jason Cameron

Toronto Fashion Academy
I have had the honour and pleasure of knowing with Raj Girn over the last 13 years in the Canadian market as an avid entrepreneur. She has not only taken that job title seriously, but she has become a one-woman mega house by specializing in Media, Marketing & Public Relations. We have had the chance to be a corporate partner with ANOKHI MEDIA lead by Raj, and have been fortunate enough to increase our platform within the South Asian market just by partnering with this organization.
This helps elevate our brand along with providing the strategic vision that Raj has set out for her media empire, along with numerous events organized and coordinated by her. We have constantly returned as a partner due to the lucrative positive results that came out of our partnership. Raj has consistently kept her exquisite success rate in a time where media and marketing has been bombarded by society, regulations, and constant audience interruption by social media and/or digital influence.
I would highly recommend Raj Girn for her specialties in media, marketing and public relations, with her years of skills acquired through a combination of education and vast, real life experiences. She has had the chance to create a fine balance in all three areas, while being able to execute various businesses and being a success at all she does.

Raj Girn Is a powerhouse bursting with love and care. She brings her full heart to meet you where you are. I can highly recommend being close to her and learning from her. It will enrich your life and move you from where you are to start thriving and growing.
Margaret Batuszkin
Senior PR/Communications Professional
Over the years, I’ve always been an admirer of Raj Girn’s many entrepreneurial accomplishments, her business savviness and grace. She’s a natural born leader and has earned a stellar reputation as a businesswoman who knows how to successfully and strategically take a business/brand to the next level. She’s confident yet approachable.
She celebrates her successes but always has her eye on the next venture. In industry circles, I’ve heard many business professionals, media and digital influencers sing her praises for helping them to get their start in business or opening doors in their respective fields. She’s a powerful combination of a creative and innovative thinker, who has the ability to quickly and effectively cut through the clutter and get to the heart of the matter.
I fondly remember my first one-on-one meeting with her over lunch a few years ago. I was so impressed by her industry know-how and forward-thinking on our respective industries. She was fearless and took calculated risks – which, I highly respect. I recall leaving the lunch feeling energized and inspired by her and ready to take on new ventures. Raj is the real deal.

Raj is that magnetic energy that just draws you into her and in any situation, she sees the positive side and just knows what to do. This woman is next-level business smart, she's so intelligent when it comes to running a business and knowing what to do. I am in awe of her and so thankful for being part of her team in this new project that we're doing!
Mohit Rajhans
Growth x Content Leader
Think Start Inc.
There are very few people in the world who can pull off what Raj has been able to do with her various media properties. She is a 'committed to the cause' type of professional and has been one of the only original voices from within the South Asian media scene who has taken her vision globally without the need of anyone's validation or permission. On her terms, Raj has not only built platforms for creators, but she has provided opportunities for businesses that have not had the luxury of experiencing the real value of the various voices in the diaspora by showing them. I look forward to generations studying the impact she has had as a leader and as an exemplary human.

Raj is an inspiration to so many of us, motivated by her example of successful entrepreneurship, cultural influence, personal charisma and clear success. She carries herself with an undeniable, generous confidence. She continues to be a leader in the ways in which she expands her reach, and most importantly, teaches others to do the same. I am grateful for how she has blazed a trail as a pioneer in south-asian Canadian media, so that others know it is possible for us to find our own way forward.

I had known Raj from a previous role and had lost touch over the years! And we started our conversation, going to back to our first interactions - Raj hasn't changed over the years - the same passion, yearning, and positivity. The podcast itself was very well organized, relevant questions and we covered a lot of ground. As a future podcast host as well, one key element that I admire about Raj is how she intersperses her commentary based on the guest's responses and her segue's to a new topic! Inspiring!

She was easy to talk to, which made the conversation natural and allowed me to feel vulnerable. Raj is an absolute powerhouse, inspiration and mentor. I would recommend that anyone who has the opportunity to work with her, do so!

I am honoured to be working with you and look forward to our journey as I unfold as an entrepreneur.
Through Raj's coaching, I have become more aware of my actions and through that awareness, I know I will achieve my own greatness. Truly learning from the best!

Raj is a brilliant business woman and has a heart full of pure gold and because of this, she is like a mentor to me. She values people and cares about everything she does.
