Rickshaw’s Journey

In 2000, Marius Appelman resigned from his role as consultant with a large corporation. Even though he knew little about the travel industry, he founded Rickshaw Travel, driven by a pressing need to do things differently than his former employer. His intention: to put people first with an organization that was brimming with enthusiasm. This intention was the start of a journey with multiple insights. He discovered that working with loving intention opened the way for abundance and results. That's why the organization was, in many ways, more successful than he had thought possible initially. Not only did Rickshaw and its subsidiaries achieve a turnover of 100 million euros, with 250 employees who were extremely engaged, energetic, and happy.

The path to abundance requires alignment and trust, the willingness to take a detour several times and to search for the right policy. It requires developing the awareness of employees, and of Marius, in his role as director. Following his dreams and with a sense of wonder, Marius set out on his voyage of discovery and took Rickshaw to hills and valleys and unknown territory. Authentic choices and determination were needed to persevere with working from a loving intention and rediscover that when storms struck.
