When he was younger, motivational speaker, content creator, and entrepreneur Raj Shamani had no intention of becoming an entrepreneur. Raj had other aspirations for his life when he was sixteen- he wanted to be a rapper. Raj took the risk of starting his own business in order to support his father because of financial issues. He is currently the owner of Shamani Industries, a public speaker, and an Instagram content creator.
Chemicals are used to manufacture detergents and soaps, and Raj's father traded in these products. He started his business career at the age of sixteen by selling soaps. He started sharing his story on social media after making the business lucrative and surviving, and today he is one of India's most popular content providers.

Raj began producing content for his company after learning that publishing content online on Instagram allowed him to connect with a large audience. From then on, he talked about a variety of topics, including sales, finance, how young people might discover possibilities, and why India is a place full of opportunities.
In reference to followers, he states that at first he was simply focused on making speeches at various colleges and was not concerned about acquiring followers. In 2015, he also spoke on behalf of India at a UN youth representative program. "I uploaded the speeches I taped to Instagram. During the first three years, my life and my international talks were my greatest assets. That brought me the first round of fans, he claims. As he grew his following to between 50,000 and 100,000, he started promoting himself as a speaker. He claims that obtaining 100,000 followers took him four and a half years. After the pandemic last year, he left the soap industry and gave it to his father so he could concentrate on content creation.
“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.” —Steve Jobs
