Intro by Neeti Keswani, Host of Luxury Unplugged Podcast:
Namaste and welcome to another soulfully rich episode of Luxury Unplugged — where luxury meets spirituality, and where we celebrate not just wealth, but the wisdom and consciousness behind it.
Today, we’re bringing you the truly inspiring and multifaceted story of Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murthy — a power couple that reflects the very essence of quiet luxury, legacy, and conscious leadership.
From the corridors of Downing Street to the spiritual rituals of Indian tradition, their story is a perfect fusion of Indian roots and global success. Let’s dive into why this story belongs on Luxury Unplugged and what you and I can take away from it.
Q1: Neeti, why feature Rishi Sunak on a podcast about luxury and spirituality?
Neeti Keswani:
Because Rishi Sunak beautifully embodies the rare balance of worldly achievement and soulful grounding.
He’s not just the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but also someone who wears his Indian heritage with grace. From doing Gau puja (cow worship) to publicly celebrating Diwali, and simultaneously leading one of the most powerful economies in the world — he is a living example of cultural integration with personal integrity.
In essence, he is proof that you don’t have to let go of your roots to rise high.
Q2: What makes Rishi Sunak’s journey unique?
Neeti Keswani:
His journey is nothing short of cinematic.
- A British-born Indian, who went from working in top investment firms to helping out at his mother’s humble pharmacy.
- An Oxford and Stanford alumnus, who is also a man of rituals and deep cultural values.
- A leader in a Western political system, yet someone who confidently practices Gau puja and celebrates Indian festivals publicly.
This seamless blending of ambition and authenticity, of luxury and humility — is what Luxury Unplugged is all about.
Q3: Let’s talk about Akshata Murthy. What role does she play in this journey?
Neeti Keswani:
Akshata Murthy is a force in her own right.
Daughter of Infosys co-founder Narayan Murthy, she carries forward a legacy not just of wealth, but of impact, innovation, and integrity.
- An accomplished businesswoman.
- A fashion entrepreneur.
- A quiet yet powerful pillar in Rishi’s political and personal life.
Together, they represent the modern archetype of conscious power couples — where success is shared, and values are never compromised.
Q4: What can we as Indian entrepreneurs, or global citizens, learn from their story?
Neeti Keswani:
Their journey teaches us:
- Stay rooted in your values – no matter where life takes you.
- Luxury is not just material – it’s about elevated thinking, intentional living, and deep cultural wisdom.
- Your background is not a limitation – it’s a launchpad.
For anyone who’s ever felt torn between tradition and ambition, or questioned if spirituality fits into a high-achieving life — Rishi and Akshata’s story says: Yes, it does. Elegantly so.
Conclusion:
In a world obsessed with fast fame and louder voices, Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murthy remind us that quiet luxury, heritage, and mindful leadership still shine through.
Their story isn’t just political — it’s deeply personal, and spiritually significant.
So if you’re building a life that blends legacy with aspiration, culture with courage — remember: You’re not alone.
They’ve shown us how it’s done.
