Sandeep
Maheshwari is a name among millions who struggled, failed and surged
ahead in search of success, happiness and contentment. Just like any
middle class guy, he too had a bunch of unclear dreams and a blurred vision
of his goals in life. All he had was an undying learning attitude to hold
on to. Rowing through ups and downs, it was time that taught him the true
meaning of his life.
|
|
And once
discovered, he consistently kept resigning from his comfort zone and to
share the secret of his success with the entire world. It is this very
urge of helping people and doing something good for the society that
inspired him to take the initiative of changing people’s lives in
the form of "Free Life-Changing Seminars and Sessions".
|
|
No wonder people
connect with him and his mission of ‘Sharing’ is now being
actively propagated and practiced by millions. It is his diligent focus,
the great support of his family and the faith of his team that keeps him
going.

The Starting Point
|
|
Like everyone else,
Sandeep also started somewhere. His family was into the Aluminum business,
which collapsed and the onus was onto him to fill in this crucial time of need.
And as expected by any young guy, he started doing everything he could.
Right from joining a multi-level marketing company to manufacturing &
marketing household products. He left no stone unturned.
|
|
It was during this
phase, he discovered interest and need beyond any formal education. Hence,
instead of being a brilliant student, he opted to drop out of Kirorimal
College, Delhi in the third year of B.Com. Rather, he embarked on the
journey of studying yet another interesting subject. A subject called life.
|
|
Attracted by the
scintillating modeling world, he started his career as a model at the age
of 19. Witnessing the harassment and exploitation experienced by models,
something in him moved. And it was this turning moment when he decided to
help countless struggling models. With a mission within, he started small.
A 2-week course in photography and there he was, a dime-a-dozen
photographer with a camera in his hand. Nothing much changed. Moving ahead
with a burning desire to change the modeling world, he set up his own
company by the name of Mash Audio Visuals Pvt. Ltd and started making
portfolios.
|
|
Next, in the year
2002, he along with his three friends, started a company, which was closed
within six months. But Sandeep’s mind was still open. With the
concept of ‘Sharing’ in his heart, he summed up his entire
experience in a reversed book on marketing. He was just 21.
|
|
It was the year
2003. He created a world record by knocking down a juggernaut task of
taking more than 10,000 shots of 122 models in just 10 hours and 45
minutes. But as expected, he didn’t stop. His focus was not diluted
by the glamour and temporary adulation he got. Rather, this fueled his
innate desire to revamp the modeling world further. At the age of 26, he
launched ImagesBazaar. The year was 2006. Not being a massive setup, he
took the job of multi-tasking. Being the counselor, tele-caller and a
photographer all by himself, he paved his way forward. And today,
ImagesBazaar is the world’s largest collection of Indian images with
over a million images and more than 7000 clients across 45 countries.
|
|
Sandeep has single
handedly brought this paradigm shift in the modeling world. Countless
models have been successfully launched with words like exploitation and
harassment sidelined to a large extent.
|
|
It was this
life-changing endeavor that made him one of the most renowned entrepreneurs
of India at a young age of 29. His ethics resonating some of the
philosophies like ‘To Never Fear of Failures’ and "Be
Truthful to self and others".
|
|
Apart from being a
disciplined entrepreneur, Sandeep Maheshwari is an extraordinary human
being. Today, he is a guide, a mentor, a role model and a youth icon for
millions of people all over the world. People love and adore him for his
great mission of making everybody believe in them and helping people to
make their life ‘Aasaan’ (Easy).
|
|
His unshakable
faith in the divine power grants him strength to thrive. But like everything
else, he sums this all up in simple yet uncompromising words “Live
with less, but only with the best.” Being at the helm of success, it
is quite astonishing to know that money does not lure him. And that’s
why, profits don’t drive his organization. It’s an emotional
bonding with each and every person working in the company that’s
matters for him.
|
|
Capable of building
an entire new industry or an organization, he is satisfied to adhere to his
self-made benchmark that states, "If you have more than you need,
simply share it with those who need it the most."
|
|
With a completely
distinct aura than any other person of his age and stature, he rose above
the rat race and broke through the age-old myth of ‘Life is
tough’ with his simple mantra ‘Aasaan Hai’.
|
|
And out of this
root solution branched out numerous ground breaking realities such as,
‘Money grows on trees’, ‘Success is not just about
working hard’ and the most interesting being "To say is easy,
but to do is easier".
|
|
Cherishing all the
bad experiences to be the great turning points of his life, his experience
comes from bad experiences. Sandeep believes that whether you start from a
rupee or a million, the important thing is to start and that too with your
own money.
|
|
His vision is to
ignite and inspire the entrepreneurial spirit of tomorrow’s leaders
to help them succeed.
