Timeline

2019

In India’s 2009 General Elections, Goyal ran as an independent candidate for Indian parliament on an anti-corruption platform from Chandigarh. He confronted national media on the use of "paid press." In one of the first live election debates, he faced candidates from three major parties. Goyal was noted for a transparent declaration of his wealth in election filings. His campaign made many headlines for his door-to-door style which was unusual for Indian politics. Goyal lost by a wide margin. However, the winning candidate, Pawan Bansal, who was also appointed Minister by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, had to resign in a major bribery scandal. After the elections, Goyal started a grass-root advocacy group called Lokmantra in India. He continues to campaign for greater awareness and participation in the democratic process, and remains actively engaged in philanthropic and social activities.

2011

In 2011, Goyal began the development of Zening Resorts, a spiritual holiday destination in Cyprus after extensive research, traveling to 12 countries over the span of five years. The eco-friendly resort is a sustainable and holistic holiday resort located across from the Latchi Harbour in Chrysochous Bay in Latchi, Paphos, Cyprus. Zening has 145 luxury cottages and offers yoga, meditation, detox, spa treatments, and a variety of workshops. Zening is Europe’s first resort dedicated to yoga, meditation, and wellness, and was named one of Europe’s leading wellness resorts by Condé Nast Traveller. ZENING’s launch in July 2013 was considered a major triumph in the resort’s early history as Goyal dealt with years of bureaucratic obstacles as a foreign investor. Goyal faced many unfounded allegations that delayed the opening of the resort, and was eventually granted a meeting at the Presidential Palace to speak on issues facing foreign investors in Cyprus. Goyal has created many ventures in Cyprus including a successful restaurant in Limassol and the first all-natural and herbal beauty spa in Limassol in partnership with Shahnaz Husain of India.

In 1998, Goyal founded The Russia Journal, a weekly newspaper published from Moscow, Russia and Washington D.C., United States that was sold and distributed throughout Europe. He served as Publisher and Chief Editor until the journal's last publication in 2005. The Russia Journal investigated Russian oligarchs and businesses. The newspaper was known for its bold, uncompromising coverage of Russia, representative of Goyal's initiatives in Russia where he filed anti-monopoly complaints against the largest print media company. The investigative and hard-hitting journalism of Goyal's newspaper in Russia made him a target for many threats and lawsuits from Russian oligarchs. He was an early supporter of President Vladimir Putin and a staunch critic of "Russia's Robber Barons," including Boris Berezovsky and Mikhail Khodorkovsky. Goyal spoke out against the hypocrisies of certain western press organizations and businesses in a documentary titled Cold Politics that was broadcast on Russia's state-owned television channel ORT in the run up to the 2012 Presidential elections. During his years as publisher of The Russia Journal, Goyal was the target of provocations and insults from The eXile's Matt Taibbi. Goyal ended up hiring Taibbi as a columnist for The Russia Journal, and allowed Taibbi to publish his own criticism in the journal. Goyal praised Taibbi for his bold and truthful reporting from Russia when he left The eXile and Russia to work in the United States, and later became lead reporter at Rolling Stone magazine. Goyal and the newspaper were also a target for Mike McFaul, former U.S. Ambassador to Russia and former professor at Stanford, who, after a slew of angry emails, threatened to sue The Russia Journal. During his time in Russia, Goyal went on to create additional market-leading internet companies in news, classifieds, entertainment, and jobs.
