Sandeep was born on 28 September 1980 in New Delhi. He was a reserved guy in school and did not have many friends in his school up to 10th standard.
He was so low in self-esteem then that his positive thoughts used to be overpowered by negatives. 11th standard was the turning point of his when he met Neha (his wife).
They both became friends and their trust in each other grew with time. After 12th, he starts his graduation at Kirori Mal College, but he could not complete his graduation because of some personal issues.
The financial condition of his family was not good when he was just in the 9th standard. After the 12th exam, he started his first business as a Help Center to help 12th pass-out students choose their careers and printed many pamphlets with the title "What to do after 12th?"
For this, he tied up with an institute called- the National Institute of Sales and Marketing. NIS offered Sandeep 20%commission if he referred the program of NIS to someone else.
At NIS there were role plays, GD, presentations, and debates. It helped him interact with more and master his skills which helped him a lot in the long run.
As a young man, Sandeep initially joined his family's aluminum business which later collapsed. To support his family financially, Sandeep started doing everything he could, from joining a marketing agency to manufacturing and marketing household products.
During this period, he drops out of college and embarks on the journey of learning the subject of 'life'.
He was just 19 years old when he his career as a model. But he got disappointed a lot due to the rampant harassment and exploitation in the modeling industry.
Because of his negative experience, he decided to do something and bring positive change in modeling.
And, he started working as a freelance photographer to support aspiring models. Later, he established his own company named Mash Audio Visuals Pvt. Ltd and used to make portfolios.
In 2002, he along with his three friends started a new company but that did not thrive and was eventually shut down. But Sandeep was not ready to stop, 2003; he wrote a book on marketing and came up with a consultancy firm.
Here, he again failed and have to return to photography. The same year, he created a world record by taking more than 10,000 shots of 122 models in 10 hours and 45 minutes.
In 2006, he took the foundation of ImagesBazaar. That time, it was a small idea; he was multitasking that time and worked as a photographer, telecaller, and counselor by himself.
His journey continued and he began measuring the success path. Now, ImagesBazaar has become the largest hub of Indian pictures in the world with over one million images and more than 7000 clients across 45 countries.
