Sold books on street, took up several jobs; this Indian businessman's company now generates daily revenue of 32 crore

The lives of many entrepreneurs who have overcome immense struggles through hard work and determination continue to inspire us. One such entrepreneur is Rizwan Sajan, who started as a small-time street vendor in Mumbai and went on to gain global recognition. Today, he is one of the wealthiest Indians in the Middle East. Let’s take a look at how Rizwan, who was born into a middle-class family in Mumbai, became a globally renowned businessman.

From a young age, Rizwan faced several challenges in life. At the age of 16, he lost his father, which forced him to take up multiple odd jobs to support his family. He worked as a street vendor selling books, sold firecrackers, and even delivered milk. In 1981, he moved to Kuwait, where he took up a job as a trainee salesman. This job provided him with valuable experience and knowledge about business.

It was during this time that Rizwan developed the ambition to become an entrepreneur. In 1993, he founded Danube Group, a company dealing in building materials. Soon, the company started expanding rapidly, making a significant impact in the construction industry. Over time, the Danube Group diversified into multiple sectors and extended its business empire to countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman. Rizwan Sajan thus secured his place among the most powerful Indian businessmen in the world. According to reports, Danube Group generates a daily revenue of over Rs 32 crore. According to recent reports, his net worth is estimated at $2.5 billion (Rs 20,830 crore). His journey from a struggling street vendor to a billionaire entrepreneur is a true testament to hard work, resilience, and vision.
