Coconut Chats episode 54 : Ajay Chhibber

Breaking boundaries and defying expectations is never easy, especially when you're navigating two worlds—one that raised you and one that you chose. Today, we’re thrilled to introduce our guest Ajay Chhibber, who’s done exactly that. Born and raised in India, Ajay took the leap into the world of technology, earning a degree in Software engineering. But his journey didn’t stop there.

In 2015, he moved to New Zealand, where he now leads as a product owner at Kiwi Bank. But Ajay’s story has another extraordinary twist. He’s not just breaking barriers in the corporate world; he’s also making waves as New Zealand’s first kiwi Indian male pole dancer & instructor. Yes, you heard that right! Ajay is a professional trainer, challenging stereotypes and inspiring many as he teaches at Viva Pole studio in Auckland. In this interview, we explore how Ajay balances these two very different worlds, the challenges he’s faced, and what it means to break the mold in more ways than one.
