Soundar Rajan: Hi, Thank you. Sure, let me introduce myself. My name is Soundar Rajan, and I am the founder of Travelpreneur World, where every trip becomes purposeful.
Yeah, it is my story of living through different natural colours and different fragrances of my travel and my business world. I have 22 years of experience as a professional who has frequent travel for the business, especially Dubai and India. I love to travel and explore more divine diversity and the abandoned geographical features of India through the nurturing of my business environment.
When I realized the need for something helpful for brilliant entrepreneurs and startup companies rose from “Noida - the business pyramid of Indian business”. Here comes the unique idea for Travelpreneur World, the precious gift pack for fresh graduates and the whole businessmen in India. Just explore travel and capture your professional & business dreams. It is a learning platform for students and upcoming entrepreneurs who wish to enter the global business industry. It is my idea.
Vygr: Where are you headquartered?
Soundar Rajan: We are in Noida.
Vygr: How did the journey of this brand unfold over time? Is there a brand history you'd like to tell us about? How did the brand come into play place? What brought you to start it out?
Soundar Rajan: An interesting vision was when I was attending a podcast from ‘Chandigarh University Students’. I asked the students ‘who all wanted to be a travel entrepreneur?’.
The answer - Out of 116 students, only 5 students said “Yes”. It was quite surprising to me, I expected a different response from the new Gen. It made me think about this.
‘Travelpreneur world” originated with a vibrant idea for the upcoming and the great business people of India. From the name itself, we can grasp the essence of travel and exposure to global business opportunities. Travel and be aware of the world of opportunities in business and profession. Makes the professionals and all others more empowered through the Travelpreneur world.
In fact, we are doing podcasts, and going to launch 3-day valuable programs to enrich the people about the impactful factors of the Travelpreneur World
Vygr: What is the core mission of your brand?
Soundar Rajan: From 22 years of experience in business and travel between India and Dubai, frequent travel gives me more depth in the values of the blend of travel and business making a man more cultured and moulded for the new steps of a great progressive business future. Travel in a well-disciplined way makes us explore the global vibrancy of infinite success, and infinite perception about our every global business tactic.
Traveling exposes business people to new environments and cultures allowing them to network with individuals from different industries, backgrounds, and regions. This opens doors to potential partnerships and collaborations.
So, as I told you that you know my mission is very simple. I wish to empower the people from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities to launch their own travel startups in their hometowns. I want to create 1,000 travelpreneurs in the coming year.
Vygr: How do you transform your clients’ lives?
Soundar Rajan: By traveling, business owners can gain a deeper understanding of different markets. They can observe consumer behavior, assess local competition, and identify emerging trends in various regions, helping to make informed decisions for expansion or product development.
Vygr: What was your vision behind introducing this brand?
Soundar Rajan: Learning from the best. Visiting cities, countries and places allows entrepreneurs to observe and learn from successful businesses from different regions. They can incorporate best practices into their own operations improving efficiency and innovation.

My picture is very, very simple. Let me start small and create values, start as low as ₹10,000 investment, and whatever you earn from the industry, give it back to the industry and scale up. You know. So don't burn money. From the beginning taking flashy offices, and you know, hiring staff offices, and within a span of time without their knowledge, they end up spending so much money.. So that's why a lot of companies, once they begin. Also, it gets shut down. So what we do in our mission a deep support. , start less, and then start spending 40% of your revenue back in business and scale up to one crore
