Sanjeev Singh: From Small Shopkeeper to Hospitality Powerhouse

Byline: How one man’s sacrifice and service shaped the lives of over 2000 families.


The Humble Beginning
 Sanjeev Singh’s path began not in ambition but obligation. Born in Bihar and dreaming of becoming a lawyer, he had to abandon his studies due to a family emergency. With limited resources, he opened a motor spare parts shop in Supaul in 1996—his first brush with entrepreneurship.


Turning Point in Patna
 Relocating to Patna for his daughter’s education, Sanjeev took a bold step into the food and catering industry. Running the Patna Airport’s food plaza was no easy task, but he did it with dedication. Later, the Patna Zoo snacks counter further enhanced his credibility.


Big Break with the Railways
 The IRCTC empanelment in 2017 was a defining moment. It elevated Rathour Services to national recognition. From railway catering to handling canteens for various government departments and even Rashtrapati Bhavan, Sanjeev’s reach widened dramatically.


Beyond Business
 Sanjeev’s contribution during COVID-19 speaks volumes. He organized food for trains and arranged transport for people stuck across India, bearing the costs silently. Philanthropy is second nature to him.


Enduring Support
 Through thick and thin, his wife Pushpa Singh stood by him. Her emotional and moral support helped Sanjeev survive even the toughest business phases.


A Growing Legacy
 His daughter, Soumya, now joins him in the business, promising to take his legacy forward with equal passion.


Conclusion
 Sanjeev Singh is a symbol of humility, resilience, and ethical business. He may not seek the spotlight, but his work speaks louder than any award.
