How can an #entrepreneur scale from 1 to 100?

“From the slums of Ghatkopar to being Dubai’s 1% Man, this journey has been long… But I’ve learnt that having a strong vision always helps, along with a USP that sets your business apart—it’s crucial. And when you have the right people working for you, then you can achieve anything!”

What started with selling goods on the streets of Mumbai to earn a living, to being recognized as the 7th Top Businessmen in the UAE & becoming Dubai’s 1% Man, Rizwan Sajan’s journey has been inspiring!

At 16, Rizwan’s journey with entrepreneurship began, with selling books, milk & crackers on the street. Having lost his father at that age, he had to learn how to support his family from a young age. From learning from his uncle in Kuwait to setting up his own trading business, home furnishing and then Danube Homes, there’s one factor that’s been constant in Rizwan—hard work! That, coupled with his desire to solve customers’ problems has got him where he is today!

Join us for a conversation filled with nuggets of wisdom about entrepreneurship, and some fascinating stories about Dubai. Rizwan gives us a peek into everything—from lessons he learned from his mentor to tips on scaling businesses and from real estate trends to tips on diversifying businesses, and so much more!

This one’s an episode that will leave you with some lessons, and a whole lot of inspiration… Do not miss it!

About Humans of Bombay –
Humans of Bombay is a movement that started 9 years ago. We believe that every person has a story to tell and we want to help them tell these stories. In these years we’ve published stories across genres – stories of love, hope, faith, and courage. And through our storytelling, we’ve built an engaged community of over 5M!

Our idea is simple – to strike a chord with our community and catalog the beat of humanity, one story at a time.
