In this episode of No Bollocks with Matt Haycox, Matt sits down with Dr. Harmeek Singh, founder and CEO of Plan B Group, a powerhouse entrepreneur and one of GQ’s 100 Most Powerful Indians. Harmeek’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, grit, and unapologetic ambition. From a privileged life in India to losing everything and starting fresh in Dubai with nothing, Dr. Singh shares the raw truths of rebuilding himself—and his empire—by refusing to settle or make excuses.

He’s known for his unfiltered take on entitlement, calling it a “comfort zone trap” and emphasising that real success isn’t about waiting for opportunity—it’s about fighting for it.
