The record

Rajat Sikka is the Director and Co-Founder of Saivana Exports Private Limited, an entrepreneur whose journey has been shaped by years of experience, persistence, and learning through real-world challenges.

From travelling on the dusty back roads of Tughlaqabad in the 1990s to walking the corridors of Paris and Harvard, Rajat’s journey reflects the many contrasts of entrepreneurship. Along the way, he encountered business setbacks, labour disputes, rejections, and other obstacles that tested his resilience and shaped his understanding of what it takes to build and sustain a business.

Through his writing, Rajat distils these experiences into practical lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners. His perspective is grounded in lived experience rather than theory, with a focus on recognising roadblocks, learning from difficult situations, and continuing to move forward.

His work aims to help budding entrepreneurs better understand the realities of business and prepare themselves for the challenges that often accompany growth.
