EP 60: Comedian Zarna Garg & Daughter Zoya Garg On Building A Funny Family Business
“My whole life, people have been saying you're funny,” recalled Zarna Garg. “But if you are an Indian person, what do you do with that? That means nothing to us. Like if you are good at math, you become an accountant. What do you do with funny?”
Lucky for audiences, Zarna figured it out and has become one of comedy’s hottest acts. She’s mined her upbringing in India and a say-exactly-what-she’s-thinking attitude into comedy success. On this episode, both Zarna and her daughter Zoya, a Stanford graduate who is now working closely with her mom, chat with Karen Finerman about their approach to building the business of Zarna Garg. That includes tours, a New York Times best-selling memoir, a robust social presence, a family podcast, and more. But they’re not resting on their laurels.
“I am really focused on the mission,” Zoya shared. “I really believe [Zarna’s business] is going to be a really big thing one day. And I find so much purpose in that.”
💬 In this episode, we explore:
Zarna’s upbringing in Mumbai, and how she left for the United States to avoid an arranged marriage during her teen years
How Zoya convinced Zarna, a stay-at-home mom and serial entrepreneur, to give comedy a try
Zarna’s unapologetic expectations for her kids, and how they’ve been able to meet them
How Zoya handles having her mother as a boss
Zarna & Zoya’s relentless drive to grow their business.
