    Raj Narayan

    Our guest today is Raj Narayan. Raj is one of golf’s emerging women entrepreneurs, coming from a corporate financial and management background to apply both analytical skills and social awareness to create an online business and networking golf club, the creatively named Emajin.  From someone who started out hating the game, Raj has transitioned into someone who not only loves it with a passion but to someone who wants to give back to it. To do so, she has looked at the world of golf, turned it on its axis to view from its many sides and then re-imagined it to fit players who for various reasons cannot fit into the traditional club model.  Today we’re going to hear of her journey through golf, how Emajin came into being and why traditional bricks-and-mortar and online golf clubs can happily co-exist in the golfing landscape.  Links related to this episode:  Emajin Golf: https://emajin.golf/ Emajin Flood Relief Fundraiser Page (which is also Raj’s nominated charity):  https://fundraise.redcross.org.au/fundraisers/emajin/fundraise-for-qld-nsw-floods-appeal Khmer Sight Foundation: http://khmersight.com/ Article on women entrepreneurs: https://womeninindustry.com.au/2021/05/28/women-owners-coming-to-a-business-near-you/ Xero Boss Insights 2021: https://www.xero.com/content/dam/xero/pdf/xero-boss-insights-2021.pdf Xero Boss Insights 2020: https://www.xero.com/blog/2020/02/boss-insights-2020-your-roadmap-to-being-your-own-boss/ Northeastern University article on four types of entrepreneurship and tips for women to succeed: https://onlinebusiness.northeastern.edu/blog/types-of-entrepreneurship/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In doing so, she has succeeded in making a strong statement about women professionalgolfers as well as placing Australia in the spotlight. To say her achievement has creatednews is an understatement, with it receiving attention on major news outlets around theworld as well as global golf forums. Hannah is no stranger to big achievement. In 2019 she became a Rolex First-Time Winneron the LPGA Tour in no less than one of the game’s majors, the KPMG Women’s PGAChampionship. This was the first wire-to-wire victory at a major since 2011 and the firstmajor win by an Australian since her mentor and good friend Karrie Webb in 2006. Hannah also represented Australia in the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo and later in theyear won the $1million AON Risk Reward Challenge. Through it all, she has remained someone with a down to earth attitude, a sense of fun, acommitment to giving back and a tremendous ambassador for the game and for women’sgolf.
