About Roshan
I’m an entrepreneur who enjoys building things: businesses, ideas, and opportunities. My journey has taken me through industries like hospitality, technology, real estate, and marketing, and I’m always looking for ways to bring creativity, strategy, and people together. I believe in staying curious, thinking big, and constantly evolving both professionally and personally.
Childhood & Early Life
I grew up in a hard working immigrant household where nothing came easy. My father worked long hours as a New York City yellow cab driver, and my mother worked as a housekeeper at a hotel. My brother and I didn’t grow up with money, but we grew up surrounded by sacrifice, determination, and a strong work ethic.
Career Starts
Outside of work, I’m passionate about experiences that bring energy and inspiration into life. I enjoy travel, great food, nightlife, design, and spending time with friends and family. Fitness is also an important part of my routine. Whether it’s working out, staying active, or simply pushing myself to maintain discipline and balance. I believe taking care of your physical health strengthens your mindset, and that same focus carries over into business and everyday life.
Lifestyle
Outside of work, I’m passionate about travel, great food, nightlife, design, and spending time with loved ones. Fitness is a key part of my routine, as I believe physical health strengthens my mindset and carries over into every aspect of life.
Fitness
Fitness has become a core part of my lifestyle, not just physically, but mentally and professionally. What started as a way to stay in shape evolved into something much deeper a foundation for discipline, consistency, and pushing past limits.
Over time, I realized that the same principles that drive progress in the gym showing up every day, staying focused, and embracing discomfort are the exact same principles that translate into business and life. Fitness became more than just workouts; it became a way to build resilience and sharpen my mindset.
In 2024, I completed a 5K Spartan Race in California, which was a turning point for me. It wasn’t just about finishing the race, but about proving to myself that I could push through physical and mental challenges in a completely different environment. The obstacles, the intensity, and the unpredictability all reinforced the idea that growth comes from stepping outside of your comfort zone.
Now, I’m continuing to build on that momentum as I prepare to participate in a HYROX on May 28, 2026. This next challenge represents a new level of endurance, strength, and discipline. It’s not just about competing. It’s about constantly evolving and setting higher standards for myself.
Fitness keeps me grounded. It gives me structure in a fast-paced lifestyle and helps me stay focused across everything I’m working on. Whether it’s early mornings, late nights, or squeezing in a workout between meetings, it’s something I prioritize because of the impact it has on every other area of my life.
The photos here capture different moments from that journey about the work, the progress, and the mindset behind it all. And I’m just getting started.
