Welcome to the latest episode of Drive the Business Podcast! In today's episode, we feature Rajeeb Day, a pioneering entrepreneur who embarked on his startup journey early on, funded by a £5,000 grant.
Rajeeb's story is nothing short of inspiring. Spurning traditional career paths, he elected to champion small businesses, starting with student advocacy in the UK's educational system at 17. His bold steps led him to rapidly climb the entrepreneurial ladder, and at Oxford, he led the Enterprise Society and initiated various ventures.
Recognising the limitations of entrepreneurship exposure in some educational institutions, Rajeeb built a platform connecting startups to graduates, bridging the distance between corporates and startups. Rajeeb’s desire to operate independently, fostered by early success and familial support, led him down this unique path. He viewed entrepreneurship as an exhilarating challenge and a means to impact, refusing to settle for a conventional corporate job.
Rajeeb candidly shares his journey's many phases, from initiating the entrepreneurial trek to successfully managing high living costs and the intimidating nature of starting a business. He underscores the importance of investor and family support in this feat. However, it’s not all uphill battle! Rajeeb points out opportunities for secondary ventures and small businesses, sparked by online resources and tools.
Resolutely believing in embracing uncertainty, Rajeeb encourages entrepreneurs to surpass mental blockades and take the plunge into the entrepreneurial world. This episode takes us through his exceptional experiences which include venture discussions at Ten Downing Street and interacting with industry behemoths.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
