About Vaibhav Agarwal
Vaibhav Agarwal is a visionary entrepreneur, experience curator, and founder of Cheers Group, a multi-vertical brand spanning events, travel and entertainment. With a people-first mindset and a passion for crafting moments of meaning, he has redefined how businesses connect with emotions. For him, experiences are not just delivered, they are designed to be felt, lived, and remembered.
Through Cheers Events, he has curated more than 1,000 luxury weddings, corporate MICE programs, and social celebrations. With Cheers Trips, he has built a travel ecosystem that operates across 80+ countries, and with Ovalstars, the world’s first global entertainment marketplace, he is giving artists a transparent stage and clients an effortless way to book talent. Together, these ventures reflect his mission which is to transform how people celebrate, travel, and connect, turning ordinary occasions into extraordinary legacies.
Entrepreneur
A Journey of Reinvention
Vaibhav Agarwal’s entrepreneurial path began in 2001 with early ventures in textiles and jewellery, before pivoting to events with the launch of Cheers Events in 2010. Each chapter of this journey has been marked by reinvention, embracing challenges, learning through change, and shaping new opportunities. What started with weddings and corporate events grew into global travel through Cheers Trips, and today, into entertainment with Ovalstars. For him, entrepreneurship is less about a straight path and more about transformation, the courage to adapt, the vision to create, and the drive to make experiences meaningful.
Philanthropist
Supporting Education & Empowering Local Talent
For Vaibhav Agarwal, business and responsibility are inseparable. His journey has instilled in him a deep sense of gratitude and the belief that “Giving is not charity, it is Character.” Guided by the principle that “Luxury should be earned, but generosity must be shared”, he focuses on supporting education, empowering local talent, and strengthening communities. To him, philanthropy is not an obligation but an extension of his purpose to ensure the value created in business also uplifts lives and contributes to a more meaningful society.

The Message
Curating Life’s Finest Experiences Across Events, Travel & Entertainment
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief that success is not just about what we build, but about the experiences we create and the impact we leave behind.
My journey has been shaped by risks, reinventions, and resilience but also by one constant purpose which is to curate experiences that matter. Through events, travel, and entertainment, I’ve dedicated myself to building platforms where people can connect more deeply, celebrate more meaningfully, and live more fully.
I don’t see business as transactions. I see it as stories, relationships, and possibilities. And I believe India and the world deserves an experience ecosystem that is trusted, thoughtful, and inspiring.
Looking ahead, my vision is to shape experiences that go beyond moments, creating ecosystems where creativity meets technology, tradition meets innovation, and people feel both inspired and empowered. Because the future will not be defined by what we own, but by how deeply we connect, how fully we celebrate, and how meaningfully we give back.
If you are here, you’re already part of this vision.
Together, let’s create something extraordinary.
