Simran Sethi, Host/Writer - “The decline of the U.S. economy and rise of corporate malfeasance, the increasing positioning of an ‘us versus them’ mentality, and the continued degradation of the environment indicates a new way of engaging in and with the world is needed,” says Sethi. Ethical Markets is the first financial lifestyle show dedicated to redefining success in the global marketplace. Sethi started her television career while attending Smith College. Before graduating cum laude with a BA in Sociology and Gender Studies, she was offered the job of associate producer for MTV News, and accepted the position following graduate studies in Urbino, Italy. After a prolific career in the United States—including production on the award-winning documentaries Hate Rock , Sex in the 90’s, and Help Not Wanted,
Sethi was asked to produce and anchor the news for MTV Asia in Singapore. She traveled and worked throughout Asia, where the stories that resonated most deeply were the remarkable tales of everyday people: “Everyone has an important story to tell. I have been in the fortunate position to hear them, learn from them, and share them with the world.”
Sethi has completed an MBA with distinction in sustainable management—integrating social and environmental values with practical business knowledge. She fuses this insight with her extensive experience in television reportage and passion for social and economic justice on Ethical Markets, the international series pioneered by futurist and author Hazel Henderson. In her spare time, Sethi dedicates herself to media advocacy: serving on the board of directors for the National Radio Project and on the advisory board for New York’s National Public Radio affiliate, WNYC. She is also developing a nutrition and food justice curriculum within her Harlem community and blogs on www.intentblog.com.
Sethi is also environmental reporter for the Sundance Channel.
