Sudhir Kumar Rai is a journalist. He is also an entrepreneur and owns a gym called ‘Lookers’.
Sudhir belongs to the Chandauli district of Uttar Pradesh but is settled in Varanasi. He is from a landlord's family. He did his schooling in the Chandauli district itself. But he did L.L.B and Ph.D. from Varanasi because his father's job was in Varanasi.
