Raj Jana
As the son of an ex-pat, Raj Jana has always been familiar with change. Growing up constantly moving from country to country, Raj quickly learnt to adapt to any situation and become comfortable with the uncomfortable. His ability to embrace uncertainty and tackle challenges head-on set him up for success during his college years and during the time he spent working as an engineer at Chevron, the world’s largest integrated energy company.
A sobering experience in the workforce, however, forced Raj to re-evaluate his choices and outlook on work and life. It was his new-found attitude towards taking ownership of his choices, that fuelled Raj’s passion and formed the ‘why’ behind his company, Java Presse – a coffee and lifestyle brand on a mission to help people transform coffee into something meaningful for themselves each day.
Raj’s moving story and unique perspective demonstrate how important it is for us to take accountability for our choices and take ownership of who we are and where we are. Only then will we be able to start living a life that we truly love.
