After interviewing Vijay Mallya, the former owner of Kingfisher, YouTuber and entrepreneur Raj Shamani has gone viral on the internet. While many wonder how Raj Shamani became a known name in the sphere of content creation, he is also recognized for his multiple business ventures and his life-long struggles.

As of June 9, Raj Shamani’s YouTube channel, which he launched in 2021, features popular business and self-growth podcasts under the name Figuring Out with Raj Shamani. His digital footprint includes over 8 billion views and 11.1 million subscribers. The famous YouTuber also has 3.7 million Instagram followers and is known to be fairly active on his social media handles. Raj has come a long way from being a door-to-door soap salesman to a multimillion-dollar business owner. His current annual income is about Rs 12 crore (₹1 crore per month), and he has a net worth of Rs 91 crore.

Raj Shamani faced significant family struggles in his early life after his father suffered a diabetic attack when Raj was only 16. This affected his family’s chemical trading business, leading to financial strain. Raj, who was not particularly adept at academics and struggled with public speaking, decided to produce soaps at home and sell them door-to-door in Indore. In the mid-2010s, Raj launched his own brand, Jadugar Drop, and joined his family’s FMCG venture, Shamani Industries. After witnessing the internet’s boom in India and the popularization of content creation on a large scale, Raj decided to create motivational videos on Instagram and YouTube. He established himself in India’s creator economy with content focusing primarily on startup stories, life lessons, business advice, and more. Raj has also been known for being the youngest Indian to speak at the United Nations Youth Assembly and has also delivered four TEDx talks, and been featured in Forbes India, Entrepreneur, and Business World.
