Against All Odds: A glimpse at Dr. Yogesh Lakhani’s purpose-driven journey from adversity to achievement on his birthday

Dr. Yogesh Lakhani, CMD of Bright Outdoor Media, is celebrating his 62nd birthday today. His journey is nothing short of inspiring—rising from tough beginnings to build a successful business empire. Born into a financially struggling family, Dr. Lakhani’s childhood was spent in a small, cramped space. Despite these hardships, he showed remarkable resilience. From a young age, he worked to help support his family.

The Start of a Billboard Empire:

After completing S.S.C., Dr. Yogesh Lakhani ventured into advertising by selling promotional films in theatres. His breakthrough came when he began setting up billboards at train stations. His first billboard at Malad station was a momentous occasion and he later expanded to other stations. His big break came when Manikchand signed him for the Filmfare Awards. He built a reputation for honesty, hard work, and exceptional client service.

Bright Outdoor: A Vision with a Mission:

Bright Outdoor Media became the first outdoor advertising company listed on the BSE in March 2023. Inspired by the cutting-edge digital LEDs of Times Square, New York, Burj Khalifa at UAE and London, Dr. Lakhani dreams of bringing the same international standards to India. Today, Bright manages over 30 of Mumbai's 70 prime digital LED billboards, with plans for further expansion.

Service to Society:

From feeding the poor to providing books for underprivileged students, he is committed to giving back. He has also opened a free dialysis center for the needy and supports blood donation drives. This year, instead of the annual Bright Award Night, he has chosen to focus on supporting the blind, specially-abled, orphanages, and old-age homes.

Going Green:

Dr. Lakhani’s company has also set the wheels in motion to go solar-powered, improving the environment by partnering with Zest Outdoor, which has made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for its work in solar power.

Family First: 

Despite his busy schedule, he always makes time for his wife, Jagruti, and son, Anugrah.

Spiritual Commitment: 

Born a Jain, Dr. Lakhani is deeply involved in religious activities and charitable work. He is a regular supporter of Shri Namramuni Maharaj, Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji of Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur, and His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, and has been invited as a guest of honor at the Brahmakumari Institute.

Honors and Respect: 

Dr. Yogesh Lakhani has received two honorary doctorate degrees from Sorbonne University of France, and Royal American University of the USA. With over 10,000 awards and accolades, his achievements are widely recognized. Despite not holding an MBA, his sharp business acumen is taught as case studies in several MBA institutes.

Bright Outdoor Media: The Industry Leader 

Whether in the world of movies, real estate, or corporate advertising, Bright Outdoor Media is the top choice. The company has worked with over one lakh clients, including countless movies, TV channels, serials, OTT platforms, and music albums. Dr. Yogesh Lakhani's journey from humble beginnings to industry leader is a testament to his unwavering determination, vision, and dedication.
