He has the talent to identify and pursue opportunities without allowing risks to become barriers. He always believed in himself which made him confident in setting his goals, may it be the short term one or the long term one. His rock solid confidence and willpower of doing something on his own to make himself big and rise above the success helped him to soar high.

As Bijan recalls, the journey was never an easy one. After completing B. Tech (Electrical),  he started attending interviews, may be technical or marketing, with a sole aim that no matter what by the end of the month he would pay his own bills rather than depending upon his family anymore. He managed well to simultaneously carrying out multiple jobs in order to achieve his goal. After this struggle, a good job offer with a decent pay came across his way and he accepted it. He performed well than expected but fate had something else confined for him. He became victim of office politics, so he had to leave that job.

Thereafter, his childhood dream of becoming a businessman struck back. As, he had always aspired to be a businessman and he felt it was the right moment and opportunity for him to start doing what he always wanted to do. So, he took his savings and started following his dreams. Since then there has been no turning back.

Talking about converting his passion into motivation and ultimately a success, Bijan shares his love for the Superbikes. It always motivated him as they always pictured in mind which again made him plan out what he had to buy and how is going to make that fortune to own his dream machines. Such planning and setting of goals to achieve helped him to succeed further and farther.

When asked about his success mantra, Bijan says, “A fit and healthy lifestyle is my core mantra for success. Once you have regulated lifestyle there is a fire within to succeed. My love for sports specifically kick boxing and gymming made me to move forward and support the sports thoroughly. I have opened a 24 X 7 gym only to encourage all segments of people to hit the gym and understand the importance of treating your body as a temple.”

He further says, a healthy body and calm mind can soar your thoughts and creativity to sky high.

The constant strive for having a fit and keeping it on gave him more creative ideas and a complete different thought process of soaring high in his fields of expertise. He understood people and pain so he started doing philanthropic activities by supporting the under privileged in every possible manner he could do right from his beginning.

When asked to give advice to readers, Bijan said that it is very important to have immense concentration and a never give up attitude that would enhance your current position, assets with business intelligence. Adding further, he said that he firmly believes that there is no stopping or no boundaries to success for any person. Rather, he always has a different way of looking towards winning with a strong thought that “Us winning means someone else losing, accept that and work towards it.”
