Author Maziar Rajabi on His Latest Book “Entrepreneurship in Bitumen Business”

The internet is filled with information and inspirational business ideas that can turn any aspirant into an entrepreneur. However, though it sounds clichéd, sometimes all that's needed is discovering the hidden passion and love towards things that bring satisfaction. More and more people in recent times are merging work and hobbies together, and turning their dream projects into highly scalable and successful businesses. And similar is the story of the 33-year-old Kurdistan native, Maziar Rajabi, an entrepreneur who took the leap of faith to become an author, especially to share his top business lessons attained through experience and to give insights on the lesser-known Bitumen industry, in which he operates.

Today, besides being a proud partner of Iraq's best oil service company, Verse Oil Service, and the leading exporter of Bitumen, Rajabi has also become an author of his recently launched book, "Entrepreneurship in Bitumen Business", that rightly lays focus on the significance of Bitumen in the world and its interconnection with the infrastructure industry. His book hit shelves on June 16th, 2020, and details Rajabi's vast experience and know-how of the Bitumen product industry and its future global growth potential. 

Speaking on this, he said, "Being an avid reader since early childhood, I always had the zeal to pen down the lessons I would come across. Over the years, as I started to read more about the entrepreneurial world, whilst pursuing Disciplined Entrepreneurship from MIT and also working simultaneously in the Bitumen industry, the idea to translate my thoughts, experiences, vision, and knowledge in the form of a book took birth. At present, looking at the vast industry that Bitumen is, and yet a limited exposure or lack of information about it, launching a book that would throw light on how its obtained and made use of, was critical more than ever. I am certain that the depth and reach of the book will evoke a sense of interest, perhaps curiosity to learn more, amongst people and aspirants alike."

Prior to becoming an author, Rajabi has had juggled multiple roles on the professional front.  Over the time, the experience amassed through Canadian Green Solutions as a senior partner, Mattioli S.A.S as a shareholder, and now Verse Oil Service as a partner as well as an independent Bitumen exporter has only contributed to his business success at such a young age. With his broad approach, relationship-management skills, and undeterred focus to break conventional rules and run his own show have earned him several accolades and recognitions in not just Iraq's community of entrepreneurs but globally. In fact, the reach and growth of his business, owing to his leadership style, has even had his stakeholders, partners, competitors, and clients name him as the "undisputed Bitumen king."

Rajabi, in the times to come, plans to take forth his passion by working on many more books on different core areas that not only prove to be of help to the new-age entrepreneurs but also students from across the world who are keen on diving into unconventional professional fields. It'll be interesting to see this young entrepreneur's take on various subjects beyond Bitumen through his books he envisions to release.
