How It All Began...

The origin story that shaped everything

Ujjain traditional market scene where Neeraj's journey began

Born & Raised in Ujjain

Growing up in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh with my dad working as an electrician shaped my earliest views on work and value.

This humble beginning was the perfect backdrop for a journey that would defy expectations.

First Hustle at Age 12

My entrepreneurial journey began by selling stickers to classmates - earning ₹180/month just to buy samosas.

Small? Yes. But it taught me the fundamentals of sales, customer needs, and creating value.

First Shutdown - First Lessons

When school authorities shut down my sticker business, it wasn't just disappointment - it was my first entrepreneurial lesson.

I learned about boundaries, regulations, and that sometimes your biggest setbacks contain your most valuable lessons.

"Every entrepreneur's journey has humble beginnings. Mine started with selling stickers to buy samosas."

— Neeraj Jivnani

The Tech Spark

When technology opened a new world of possibilities

The First Computer

After months of emotional persuasion and skipping meals to save money, I finally got my first computer.

This wasn't just a device. It was the tool that would change everything.

The Tech Guy

Quickly became known for fixing PCs and technical issues in my neighborhood.

Digital Hustler

Burning CDs, selling pirated games, all while navigating the limitations of 2G internet.

First Real Money

Earned my first significant income as a teenager through tech service work.

The 2G Challenge

Living in Ujjain with limited connectivity meant downloading a single Windows update could take days.

Yet this limitation became my greatest teacher - I learned patience, resourcefulness, and the value of optimization.

Internet Leverage

Finding ways to make the internet work for me

Facebook page with 46,000 likes

My First Viral Success

Created a Facebook hacking page that exploded to 46,000 likes - my first taste of real online reach.

This showed me the power of community and how fast an idea could spread online.

Early Failures

Tried blogging with stolen content and quickly learned that shortcuts don't work.

This failure was critical - it taught me the importance of original value creation.

The Affiliate Hustler

Discovered mCent & EarnTalktime platforms - my introduction to affiliate marketing without even knowing the term.

Found creative ways to convert digital rewards into real cash - a teenager's innovation.

Trial & Error

Tested multiple approaches until finding what worked.

Resource Conversion

Turned digital rewards into tangible benefits.

Scale Thinking

Learned how to multiply efforts for greater returns.

"I didn't know what affiliate marketing was called back then. I just knew I could make money by getting people to download apps."

This was more than pocket money - it was validation that the internet could provide real income.

"Those first small wins weren't just about money. They were proof that I could build something valuable, even from a small town with limited resources."

— Neeraj Jivnani

The Life-Changing Moment

When everything shifted at just 16 years old

The $1,000 Milestone

At just 16, my blogging income reached $1,000 per month - a life-changing amount in Ujjain.

This wasn't just pocket money anymore. It was more than many adults earned in full-time jobs.

The Secret Earner

I kept my online income hidden from family at first. The money landed directly in my dad's HDFC account.

Imagine their surprise when they discovered their teenage son was earning from the internet.

Making Local History

Became Ujjain's first foreign remittance digital earner - a fact that impressed even the HDFC bank manager.

That manager, inspired by my story, remains in touch to this day.

Financial Freedom

No longer dependent on pocket money. Could make my own decisions.

Validation

Proof that internet entrepreneurship was a viable path, even from Ujjain.

Career Clarity

Solidified my path as an entrepreneur rather than pursuing a traditional career.

That first $1,000 month wasn't just money. It was a completely new perspective on what was possible for a kid from a small town.

Engineering vs Entrepreneurship

When conventional wisdom meets personal conviction

Neeraj's first office space in Ujjain
2017

First Office, Big Dreams

Opened my first real office in 2017, a physical manifestation of what had begun as a digital journey.

This space represented a commitment to building something tangible and lasting.

2 Days at Engineering College

Enrolled at MIT Ujjain, then dropped out after just 2 days. Some decisions don't need much time.

Used my savings to start an agency instead of pursuing a traditional education path.

Choosing Against Convention

Faced traditional resistance - the classic "log kya kahenge" (what will people say) pressure.

In a society that valued degrees over entrepreneurship, this was a radical choice.

"The hardest part wasn't deciding for myself - it was defending that decision to everyone else."

Agency vs Product

Chose to start an agency rather than a product company - a path that required less capital but more execution.

This decision laid the foundation for Hiigher and everything that followed.

"I knew I could deliver results for clients. That confidence made the agency model the perfect starting point."

The Decision Framework

Engineering Path Considerations

  • 4+ years of theory before practice
  • Delaying entrepreneurial growth
  • Social approval but personal stagnation
  • Safety net of a degree

Entrepreneurship Path Considerations

  • Immediate hands-on learning
  • Building on existing momentum
  • Creating real value immediately
  • Higher risk, social pressure

"Clarity trumps convention. When you know your path, have the courage to take it - even when nobody else understands."

— Neeraj Jivnani

Lessons from Building Multiple Properties

What Worked

  • Focusing on underserved markets (Hindi users)
  • Solving real problems with practical content
  • Consistency and patience over time

What Failed

  • Chasing trending topics without expertise
  • Overcomplicated monetization strategies
  • Trying to be too broad instead of focused

"Success in digital isn't about getting it right the first time. It's about being willing to fail nine times to find the one that works."

— Neeraj Jivnani

My Philosophy

The core principles that drive everything I do

"We Don't Do Fluff."

This isn't just a catchy phrase. It's the foundation of how I approach business and life.

Real value. Real results. No shortcuts.

Built From Scratch

Everything was built from zero - no capital, no network, no advantages.

Internet Obsession

A deep fascination with the internet's potential to level playing fields and create opportunity.

Grit & Curiosity

The twin engines that power innovation - persistence through challenges and endless learning.

Visual representation of the entrepreneurial journey

The Raw Reality

Entrepreneurship isn't about fancy offices or pitch decks. It's about solving problems and creating value where none existed before.

Every success has been built on countless failures, all-nighters, and moments of doubt that never made it to social media.

Action Over Everything

What We Avoid:

  • Meaningless jargon
  • Vanity metrics
  • Following the crowd
  • Excuses over execution

What We Embrace:

  • Measurable results
  • Sustainable growth
  • First principles thinking
  • Relentless execution

Success leaves clues, but it rarely looks like what you see on social media. It's about showing up when no one's watching and building something real.

Building for the long term, not just the next quarter

Visual representation of the Jivnani.com domain acquisition

The Domain Investment

Purchased Jivnani.com back in 2016 - not out of ego, but with clear intent for the future.

This wasn't just about owning a personal domain. It was about establishing the foundation for something bigger.

The Mission

"Build scalable, impact-driven companies that empower people and move Bharat forward."

Scalable

Building businesses that can grow exponentially while maintaining quality and culture.

Impact-Driven

Creating solutions that genuinely improve lives and solve meaningful problems.

Empowering

Enabling individuals to achieve more through jobs, tools, and opportunities.

Strategic Pillars

Innovation

Finding new, better ways to solve old problems through technology and creativity.

Sustainability

Creating businesses that can thrive independently and contribute positively to society.

Long-Term Thinking

Making decisions with decades in mind, not just for immediate gains or recognition.

Moving Bharat Forward

The Challenge

India's potential is limitless, but we need more builders creating solutions specifically for our unique challenges and opportunities.

Too many innovations skip Tier 2/3 cities where most of India lives and works.

The Opportunity

Creating companies that serve both global markets and Bharat's specific needs - building bridges between worlds.

Developing talent in smaller cities and bringing world-class opportunities to more Indians.

The Journey Ahead

5-Year Horizon

Establish Hiigher as a leading growth marketing agency and launch multiple successful products under NextBuild.

1

Creating the foundation of profitability and proven execution.

Expanding our impact through multiple businesses under a cohesive vision.

2

10-Year Horizon

Establish Jivnani Group with multiple profitable companies solving diverse problems and creating hundreds of jobs.

20+ Year Horizon

Create a lasting conglomerate that continues to innovate, employ thousands, and contribute significantly to India's economic landscape.

3

Building an institution that outlasts its founder and creates generational impact.

"I'm building for the generation that will come after me. This isn't about a quick exit or fame. It's about creating something that lasts."

— Neeraj Jivnani
