Get ready for a masterclass in reinvention! In this episode of the Flexwork Podcast, host Ankur K. Garg sits down with Jay Rana, an events industry legend who has been dazzling crowds and breaking the mold for over two decades. Known for his unmatched ability to command the mic and create unforgettable experiences, Jay opens up about how he constantly reinvents himself, both professionally and personally. Spoiler alert: this isn’t just about weddings—this is about life, hustle, and growth.
From his early days under the moniker Roz Entertainment to his evolution into J Rana Events, Jay shares how he pivoted to stay ahead in an ever-changing industry. And yes, we dive into the story behind his Instagram handle, “J Rana 2.0,” because when you’re in the game for as long as he’s been, reinvention isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity.
Jay also drops gems about navigating the competitive world of events. He’s mastered the art of securing trust with clients while balancing the ever-watchful eyes of competitors. Hear how he handles brides, breaks into TikTok-worthy content creation, and leverages transparency to turn challenges into wins. And if you’ve ever wondered how to stand out in a sea of imitators, Jay has the answers—and some fiery advice for anyone thinking about borrowing his signature “Get in my video!”
But this episode isn’t just about business. It’s about what drives the man behind the brand. Jay gets candid about why he views competition as fuel, how he balances his multifaceted career, and why he refuses to call himself “the best”—even though his track record suggests otherwise. He also reflects on how his work has opened doors for deeper self-expression, from dabbling in fashion to exploring real estate. Oh, and did we mention he’s writing a book?
Expect real talk, a few laughs, and some solid life advice. Whether it’s a pro-tip on how to incorporate personal videographers at events without upsetting the bride or how to use your failures as stepping stones, this episode has something for everyone.
If you’ve ever thought about jumping into the deep end—whether in events, entrepreneurship, or life—Jay’s philosophy will give you the nudge you need. And for anyone in the business of making memories, his approach to constantly leveling up will inspire you to do the same.

This is your chance to learn from someone who’s been in the trenches, reinvented himself countless times, and is still paving the way for the next generation.
