1/6

Business shift

Vivek Oberoi’s latest buzz goes beyond cinema and into the boardroom, with recent reports spotlighting how the actor has built a sizeable business portfolio alongside his film career. Oberoi transitioned from a Bollywood star to an entrepreneur, investing in real estate, hospitality, start-ups, jewelry, premium spirits, and education. Oberoi is now known for the scale, spread, and ambition of his ventures, not just his screen presence. According to Moneycontrol and Financial Express, his evolution now reflects a story shaped as much by entrepreneurship as by stardom.

Realty game

Luxury real estate primarily drives Vivek Oberoi's business story. Reports suggest that his main business is real estate development, launched with entrepreneur and chartered accountant Ankur Aggarwal. The company is reportedly developing assets worth USD 7 billion (roughly Rs 58,000 crore) while operating without debt. The company targets ultra-luxury projects, catering to high-net-worth clients, family offices, and global investors. Oberoi's positioning is crucial: he is not pursuing a volume strategy but rather competing in premium markets where exclusivity, branding, and investor confidence enhance the value of each project. It shows a businessman thinking beyond celebrity and toward long-term market credibility.

Luxury bet

Vivek Oberoi’s entrepreneurial portfolio is a Rs 2,300 crore beachfront resort project on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, near Dubai. The development reportedly sits across from the new Wynn Casino, expected to draw millions of visitors annually, a factor that could boost property values in the area. That makes the venture more than a vanity play linked to celebrity branding. It places Oberoi in a real estate zone where hospitality, tourism, and luxury investment intersect, making it a long-term business proposition for buyers. The venture reflects ambition, timing, and an eye for high-growth global luxury destinations.

4/6

Diamond trail

Beyond real estate, Vivek Oberoi has widened his business identity through Solitario, his lab-grown diamond company. The brand has reportedly achieved strong revenue growth and now operates across multiple countries and cities. More importantly, the venture revolves around a larger concept: creating a global jewelry label that embodies an Indian identity. That gives the business both emotional and commercial positioning. In a market crowded with heritage and luxury narratives, Solitario allows Oberoi to tap sustainability-led consumer interest while also pitching Indian craftsmanship as a premium international story, not merely a domestic success narrative. It is a venture that combines modern consumer values with aspirational global branding, showcasing how sustainable practices and traditional Indian craftsmanship can appeal to a worldwide audience seeking authenticity and quality.

5/6

Smart spread

Vivek Oberoi’s business ventures also extend into lifestyle and education, demonstrating a deliberate diversification strategy. Reports say he holds a significant stake in a premium gin brand, while he has also invested in an education-focused company that financed student fees and built a large B2B (business-to-business) network across schools, colleges, and universities. Together, those bets reveal a clear pattern: Oberoi is not tied to one industry but to scalable ideas with premium appeal and growth potential. From spirits to student finance, his choices point to a businessman looking at sectors with strong demand, long-term relevance, and room for expansion beyond the glare of celebrity.

6/6

Acting career

Despite a busy acting career, Vivek Oberoi continues to balance movies and entrepreneurship with notable ease. His journey reflects discipline, foresight, and adaptability, showing how he has stayed relevant on screen through films like 'Company,' 'Saathiya,' and 'Shootout at Lokhandwala.' He recently appeared in 'Mastiii 4,' and 'Rosie: The Saffron Chapter' is set to release in March 2026. He is also part of 'Ramayana,' and reports around 'Spirit' place the film on a March 5, 2027 release track. Even as business ventures dominate headlines, his foundation as an actor remains firmly intact, showcasing his continued commitment to his craft through diverse roles in upcoming films.
