On the occasion of his 25th birthday, Rajveer Yadav, a transformative entrepreneur, and a devoted humanitarian—took a moment not to celebrate himself, but to reflect on a core principle that has defined his life and work: sharing.
In an intimate, heartfelt interview conducted at the headquarters of the Rajveer Yadav Foundation in Siliguri, Rajveer opened up about the values that continue to shape his inspiring journey from a small village in Bihar to the upper echelons of Indian business and philanthropy.
“I’ve learned that real happiness doesn’t come from what you earn, but from what you give,” he said with a gentle smile. “If you can make even one person’s life better, your own life becomes more meaningful.”
This is not mere philosophy for Rajveer—it’s the essence of how he lives and leads.
A Humble Beginning That Built a Strong Foundation
Born on June 3, 2000, in the village of Lauwa, Bihar, Rajveer’s early life was anything but easy. His father passed away when he was only six years old, forcing him into a world of adult responsibilities long before his time. Where many would have stumbled, Rajveer chose to rise—not with anger or bitterness, but with resolve and gratitude. “When you come from nothing,” he once said, “even the smallest success feels like a blessing. You learn to value every opportunity—and to share it.”
With his father’s death came not only emotional hardship but economic pressure. As a child, Rajveer began working to support his family—taking on small jobs, running errands, and helping wherever he could. Education took a back seat to survival, and he eventually dropped out of school. But his thirst for knowledge never left him.
Unlike most of his peers, Rajveer was not driven by ambition for wealth or status—he was driven by the desire to build something meaningful. He found his inspiration not in textbooks, but in the scriptures—particularly the Bhagavad Gita, which he first read at the age of 12. The teachings of Krishna to Arjuna about duty, balance, and purpose lit a fire in him that would guide every chapter of his life.
The Heart Behind the Work: The Rajveer Yadav Foundation
Beyond business, Rajveer’s heart beats strongest in his humanitarian work. He established the Rajveer Yadav Foundation over a decade ago to formalize his social impact work. Since then, the foundation has:
- Planted thousands of trees across urban and rural spaces
- Supported farmers in repaying agricultural loans to avoid suicides
- Funded healthcare support for cancer patients and the elderly
- Organized startup mentorship camps for youth
- Donated copies of the Bhagavad Gita across India
The Gita campaign, in particular, is deeply personal to Rajveer. It started as a small idea—to give away a few dozen books. Today, it is one of the largest Bhagavad Gita distribution campaigns in India. His goal is to donate 1 lakh copies, and he is already more than halfway there. “This book changed my life,” he says. “It gave me direction when I had none. I want others to experience that clarity.”
A Voice for the Voiceless
In addition to all his visible work, Rajveer has become a quiet advocate for groups who are often unheard—farmers, daily wage workers, and young dreamers from under-resourced backgrounds. His philosophy is clear: share what you can, when you can.
He mentors aspiring entrepreneurs, often reminding them: “You don’t need crores to make an impact. Share your time, your story, your empathy. That’s how we build a better world.”
His efforts also include creating employment opportunities through real estate and agriculture projects. As someone who has worked the fields and lived the struggle, he remains closely tied to farming, which remains one of his personal hobbies, along with horse riding and playing the piano.
Leadership by Example, Not Title
Rajveer is deeply spiritual, yet fiercely practical. He does not speak in slogans or soundbites. His words are often simple, but they land with weight. He defines success not by milestones, but by peace of mind. “To me, success is when I can go to sleep knowing I made someone else’s life a little easier today.”
On his birthday, as well-wishers poured in from across the region and social media buzzed with tributes, Rajveer remained grounded. He spent most of the day in reflection and quiet service—distributing books, speaking with students, and visiting a small farming cooperative his foundation supports.
He does not seek awards. He prefers anonymity over attention. But those who know him—and thousands who’ve been impacted by him—agree on one thing: Rajveer Yadav is a leader for the people, by the people, and with the people.
- Looking Ahead: A Vision Rooted in Sharing
- As he looks toward the future, Rajveer’s goals remain clear:
- Continue building affordable housing across India
- Expand the Gita distribution to new regions and languages
- Support young founders through capital and mentorship
- Create sustainable employment in agriculture and real estate
- Promote financial literacy among underserved communities
But above all, he wants to keep sharing—not just wealth or books, but compassion, wisdom, and purpose. As he often tells his team:
“The real legacy isn’t built with bricks or balance sheets—it’s built in hearts.”
