Vikram Sengar's journey is a story of steady growth, hard work and the courage to build something of his own. It begins not in a boardroom but at an invoicing desk — and it is still being written, with Chemilinx, the company he founded in October 2020, now chasing a target of ₹11 crore in annual business for 2026-27.
Growing up with grounded values
Vikram comes from a grounded, hardworking household. His father, Mahendra Singh Sengar, worked as a tiles fitting contractor, while his mother, Geeta Devi, was a homemaker. Alongside his brother Dhawal Sengar and sister Varsha Sengar, Vikram grew up understanding discipline and responsibility early — and learning that challenges were something to work through, not fear.
After completing his graduation in Computer Science, he chose a different road from the one his degree pointed toward. He pursued an Import-Export certification, followed by a Master's in Business Management specialising in International Marketing — a combination of technical education and business learning that would quietly shape the career that followed.
Learning the business from an invoicing desk
Vikram's professional journey began in the Aromatic Intermediate industry as an Invoicing Clerk. On paper, the role was about paperwork and documentation. Vikram treated it as a vantage point instead — gradually learning the logistics, compliance requirements, customer relationships and international negotiations that moved around him every day, well beyond what the job description asked of him.
| Milestone | Detail |
|---|---|
| Entry role | Invoicing Clerk, Aromatic Intermediate industry |
| Within 6 years | Head of International Marketing – Exports |
| Industry experience | 12 years in Aromatic Intermediate exports |
| October 2020 | Founded Chemilinx, with no investors or inherited business |
| Current | Approx. ₹5 crore annual business; targeting ₹11 crore in 2026-27 |
That willingness to learn gradually opened bigger opportunities. Within just six years, Vikram rose from an invoicing role to become Head of International Marketing – Exports — a climb built on years of learning the industry from the ground up rather than one sudden break. By the time he struck out on his own, he carried 12 years of experience in the Aromatic Intermediate industry with him.
The leap: founding Chemilinx
In October 2020, Vikram took the boldest step of his career, leaving the relative security of a leadership role to found Chemilinx — a company built, in his words, around linking chemistry with lives. With no investors and no business legacy to lean on, he began developing it one relationship and one deal at a time, country by country.
The company has since grown to approximately ₹5 crore in annual business, with a stated target of reaching ₹11 crore in 2026-27. For Vikram, the number is only part of the story — it represents years of accumulated industry knowledge and relationships, and the confidence to turn professional experience into entrepreneurship.
The family behind the business
Family has remained a constant through this journey. Vikram married Akansha Sengar in November 2019, and the couple welcomed their daughter, Geetanjali, in February 2021. He credits his parents, siblings, wife and daughter for giving him strength and purpose through different phases of his professional and entrepreneurial life — particularly during the riskiest stretch, the early days of building Chemilinx from nothing.
Through every up and down, my family stood behind me. My parents gave me values, my siblings gave me strength, and Akansha and Geetanjali gave me purpose.
His story reflects a simple idea: beginnings do not decide how far a person can go. What matters, in his account, is the willingness to learn, remain consistent and keep building — from an invoicing desk, to international marketing leadership, to founding a company of his own.
A businessman is not defined by how many times he falls, but by how many times he gets up, learns, and builds bigger.
