Rahul and his wife Milica are the proud parents of three children, a dog and a bunny (affectionately known as the “traveling circus”). As a family, they value nightly dinner conversations and enjoy building with blocks, games, road trips, skiing, and giving back to the community. As founders of The Positivity Project, they attempt to provide a counterbalance to conventional narratives and have volunteered around the world trying to live the motto “be the change you want to see in the world.”
Rahul has served on the Boards of Please Touch Museum, the Miami Children’s Museum, the Children’s Museum of the Arts in New York, and CityScience. He also currently serves on the board of the Collective Success Network. In the spare time that remains, Rahul enjoys tennis, skiing, inspirational movies, and time with family and friends. Rahul is a very early riser, so he is always looking for others interested in early-morning activities.
