Viraj Sheth is a young entrepreneur. He, along with Ranveer Allahabadia, founded Monk Entertainment, a popular name in the digital content creation industry. At the age of 26, Viraj has gained much recognition, as he should with all the hard work he does. As a co-founder of Monk-E, he manages influencer marketing, talent management, and creative content.
The Early Days: From Mumbai to Monk Entertainment
Viraj comes from a Gujarati family, although he was born and raised in Mumbai. He started his education at Mithibai College, where he earned his diplomas. After that, he studied Electronics Engineering at Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College. It was there he met Ranveer, the founder of Monk-E. Ranveer was a senior student at the same college.
Both Viraj and Ranveer shared a strong interest in content creation. This shared passion led them to start Monk Entertainment in 2017. What began as a small project grew into a successful media company. Today, Monk-E manages some of the most popular influencers, including Flying Beast, Be YouNick, and of course, Ranveer Allahbadia, who is widely known as BeerBiceps.
Viraj, a curious man
He knew that relying only on the college wouldn’t help him reach the heights he aimed for, so he then thought of getting some practical experience. This over-curious boy did several internships in content creation, copywriting, and digital marketing. By the time he reached his final semester, he was already managing campaigns for BeerBiceps, laying down the foundation for what would become Monk Entertainment.
Under Viraj’s guidance, Monk-E has forged partnerships with global icons like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Priyanka Chopra and collaborated with top brands such as Flipkart and NBA India. And now, Monk-E is well-known for creating innovative digital campaigns that resonate with audiences and bridge the gap between brands and consumers.
