It specializes in connecting west and east people through Bollywood fitness dance. There are different fitness and training programs with unique instructors from all races globally.

Shahil Patel is very hopeful in connecting people to form unity across the world. Apart from Bolly X, he is the president of Ishaara Dance Company Group, which managed was a contestant in NBC’s America’s Got Talent. Its headquarters are found in Greater Philadelphia Area.

I went to California University in Berkeley to study Industrial engineering, Psychology, and Economics. Throughout the four-year course, I was an active member of various clubs like the UCB Hindi Film Dance, Soccer Club, and Indus Council. I graduated in 2009. To add to that, in 2018, I went back to MIT Sloan School of Management to study an MBA and Entrepreneurship.

Forming Ishaara Dance

Immediately after receiving my bachelor’s degree certificate, I got employed at Accenture company in Chicago as a management Consultant strategist. At the top desk, I formed a good relationship with all clients. I founded Ishaara Dance Company the same year.

Launching BollyX Fitness

In May 2012, I resigned from management to focus more on my business. After one year, I decided to create another group of fitness, where I could connect all types of Bollywood dances. That is how BollyX Fitness came into existence.

I recall back to when my dancing journey started in 2005. At this moment, I had just joined the college as a freshman. Then, I was very scared to dance because my two legs looked similar. In addition, some of my colleagues could criticize me for having two left legs.

The only place I could get a chance was in Bollywood dance because most students dint like it. It had few contestants. I vividly remember my first interview, and I came out feeling embarrassed. That shame gave me the courage to work extra hard. Using a mirror, YouTube, and camera, I taught myself some Bollywood moves for a span of six months. My first winning came when I led my team to secure a semifinal in Americans Got Talent.

Challenges in Business

I am a proud CEO since my company received an invitation to the Shark Tank. Henceforth, there has been an improvement in sales, which made me go back and complete my master’s at MIT.

Every entrepreneur must always be ready for challenges, and you cannot run away from them. Starting a company involves a lot of uncertainty and sacrifice. The early pre-seed period is the toughest moment because your business has not gained momentum. The worst comes in when it is difficult to generate the best payroll for all your employees. Young startups fail because they don’t have enough resources to support all departments.

But if you jump in with a positive mindset, you can make the right decision. If we talk about my business, it took almost two years to get every employee in their correct position. It’s hard to connect all the dots and form the right figure. So I feel happy when I see my board members taking care of business in my absence.

BollyX company focus on teaching Bollywood dance and fitness, which combines choreography with hot music globally. Each part takes almost 50 minutes of workout. Sometimes it feels like the best medicine to relieve one from depression. We have received many invitations to dance in Bollywood movies. This has made a lot of people join my company.
