Dr Yogesh Lakhani, the Chairman and Managing Director of Bright Media Outdoor Limited, celebrates his birthday on September 25. His success story is truly inspiring. From selling matches to laying the foundation of Bright Outdoor Media and launching its IPO, Dr Yogesh Lakhani’s journey has been incredibly motivational.
Yogesh Lakhani started his life by selling matches in Borivali, Mumbai. After much struggle, he got his first hoarding assignment at Malad station. Though he is not highly educated, he got the idea to name his company “Bright” after seeing the word written somewhere in Borivali. Bright Outdoor Media is the first outdoor media company to hold the record for the highest number of hoardings, and it launched its IPO last year.
Bright Outdoor Media is a company that has promoted the most films, events, award functions, and corporate programs. Dr Yogesh Lakhani is also a philanthropist. He organizes blood donation camps, helps orphanages and old age homes, assists underprivileged children in need, and runs a free dialysis center. 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.
Dr Yogesh Lakhani has also been organizing the grand “Bright Awards” for years, where people from Bollywood, the TV industry, and various other fields are honored.
Dr Lakhani is equally devoted to his family. Despite his busy schedule, he always makes time for his wife, Jagruti, and son, Anugrah. Whether it’s taking them on domestic or international trips or spending quality time on weekends, family comes first for him.
After listing on the stock market, Dr Lakhani’s company has made a new beginning by installing more than 30 digital LED hoardings in Mumbai. Their hoardings have 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.
On his birthday, we extend our heartfelt wishes to Dr Yogesh Lakhani. He is a very kind-hearted person with a supportive nature. Helping people brings him a joy that he finds nowhere else. He also distributes food to those in need.
The Industry Leader Whether in the world of movies, real estate, or corporate advertising, Bright Outdoor Media is the top choice. Bright’s billboards have launched the careers of many Bollywood stars, and leading companies like Larsen & Toubro, Warner Bros., Discovery Channel, and many more choose Bright for their advertising needs. The company has worked with over one lakh clients, including countless movies, TV channels, serials, OTT platforms, and music albums, and continues to set new benchmarks in outdoor media. With numerous awards and accolades, Dr. Yogesh Lakhani’s journey from humble beginnings to industry leader is a testament to his unwavering determination, vision, and dedication. Many people approach him for selfies at public functions. His story is one of resilience, service, and success—a true inspiration to all.
