From being a civil engineer to a trainer in sales, Raghav realized his passion for public speaking through a platform named Toastmasters. Raghav feels that we should give time to ourselves and think more before deciding on a career path.

Raghav Raj is working as a team lead in Edureka, an ed-tech company based in Bangalore.

Raghav was born in Udaipur. He did his schooling from St. Paul’s Senior Secondary School, Vijayanagar, Ajmer. Then he did his civil engineering from Vivekananda Institute of Technology, Jaipur.

Raghav was a part of Toastmaster International in his college days and realized that public speaking, communication, and being out there is what his passion was. Hence, he switched his career to the sales field.

Talking about his struggles, Raghav says that one has to be thick-skinned in the sales field as there are a lot of rejections. Also, he has to work in night shifts and that takes a toll on his physical and mental health and disrupts the sleep cycle as well.

Sharing about his achievements, Raghav says that he has taken part in a national-level ToastMasters competition. He has won many certificates in this field as well. In school, he used to be an avid painter and write blogs. He also came third in Rajasthan in the Young Editors event organized by Dainik Bhaskar.

Talking about his success mantra, Raghav says it is to just hang in there and just keep moving as good things take time to come up.

When asked about his role models, Raghav says that they have changed over time but one of his early life inspirations came from Robin Sharma.

Raghav advises that one should be thick-skinned to come into this field. Also, he suggests youngsters travel as much as they can to gain experience and meet new people in life.

In his free time, Raghav sleeps as he always has a night working shift. Apart from that, he likes reading books related to sales and travel. He also has a hobby of collecting everything like stamps, coins, first-day covers, McDonald’s toys, etc.
