My distinguished guest on this, the 90th episode of our award-winning series MVP – The Master's Voice Podcast, is the iconic Radio RJ and creative content professional, Hrishikesh Kannan, popularly known as HrishiKay, Producer and Presenter on Radio One India's flagship daily morning show Good Morning Mumbai, on 94.3 Radio One.
Hrishi brings distinguished radio presentation skills and strategic content-creation abilities to the table from decades of experience. To my knowledge, Hrishi is one of the very few radio presenters to have worked with distinction on all formats of radio broadcast, including linear, satellite, and digital. And in my book, HrishiKay is one of the most accomplished -- and perhaps the single most experienced -- RJ when it comes to all the platforms he has worked with.
Add to his phenomenal talent the crucial quality of toil - Hrishi ideates on and helps define the personality and content of every episode of his wonderful marathon 5-hour, Good Morning Mumbai show every day.
Hrishi is also National Brand Head for Radio One India and manages and oversees content creation and execution, both on-air and digitally, for the entire network.
A brilliant radio presenter and content creator at heart, Hrishi is an equally incisive sales-conscious professional who has helped enable company sales by creating and introducing the most useful and relevant content after overcoming external narrow misconceptions, and over the years, has pioneered the introduction and growth of several genres of content on FM Radio that are as popular with listeners as they are with marketers.
Hrishi has also been National Training Director – Radio Hosts and Producers at Radio One, and is one of the best mentors to the RJ community and other young professionals.
That’s a long enough intro to one of the best creative professionals and RJs across FM radio in India, so we'll let you get into this episode with HrishiKay.
It's a free-flowing conversation which showcases Hrishi's passion, great talent, and proven deliveries for FM radio, and moves from the personal to the professional aspects of life, career, industry, and more, with great ease.
Suffice it to say that HrishiKay towers above most on the first fold of my own mental homepage of the top radio and audio presenters. Hrishi is strapping tall, of course, but a physical minnow when you compare his physical height with that of his work and its quality, class, and impact. Now those? Another level, entirely. Peerless.
So go ahead, listen in to the man with the superb voice that hits you in the solar as much as his words, thinking, warmth and delivery leave you in a happy, thoughtful, sunny state of mind.
Here's Hrishikesh Kannan. HrishiKay!
