During his teenage days, when most kids would go out party and spend hanging out at clubs and bars, Shivam focused on achieving his dreams. He balanced his life by working on his goals while giving himself time to chill. He explored different places to keep his mind straight and realised he wanted to start a travel and tour business. Shivam decided to drop out of his college and work at his company. Eventually, he started Desert Raja - Desert Safari Dubai.  

Desert Raja helps its clients enjoy exquisite places in the United Arab Emirates. With reasonable and luxury packages, his travel company promises to make holidays memorable forever. Shivam was asked how he got the courage to take risks at such a young by dropping out of college and starting a new company. The entrepreneur said, “In order to accomplish all the goals, risks are necessary.”

He added, “There is no fun is staying in the comfort zone. I had the choice of completing engineering and getting a stable 9-5 jobs. I didn’t have to worry about failure. But I wanted thrill in my professional life. I had the thirst to do something big, even if it comes with initial setbacks. The failures taught me a great lesson and made me stronger. I am glad I made the brave decisions years ago.” 

“Today, I am not only running a travel company but also made a name in the digital marketing field. I handle celebrities, big brands and companies. I look after their promotions and social media marketing. It is completely different from the tourism business. If I were a full-time employee, I wouldn’t have got time to explore some other field. So, taking risks did pay off well. It makes me excited and ready for what’s next.”
