Rohit Khubchandani (aka @rkbond007) Nominated for ‘Travel Influencer of the Year’ at IMA 2025 (E2)

“Licensed to explore.” It’s more than a clever tagline—it’s the heartbeat of Rohit Khubchandani’s global journey as a digital creator, tech entrepreneur, and now, a 2025 nominee for Travel Influencer of the Year at the Influencer Magazine Awards.

Born in Mumbai and based in Dubai since 2002, Rohit is a name synonymous with exploration. Not just of places, but of cultures, perspectives, and possibilities. With a passport stamped by over 45 countries and stories that traverse continents, cuisines, and conversations, he isn’t just a traveler—he’s a storyteller with a global soul.

Under his digital moniker @rkbond007, Rohit brings a cinematic flair to his content—an homage to the suave mystique of James Bond blended with the wanderlust of a modern-day nomad. His reels and shorts, which have earned him over 19,400 followers on Instagram and 19,100 on TikTok, invite you into a world where luxury meets authenticity, and every post is a new page in his unfolding travelogue. His viral short “One Night in Dubai” alone garnered 1.5 million views, proving that his content resonates far beyond borders.

But Rohit’s story isn’t just about stunning visuals and passport stamps. It’s about evolution. From tech industry leadership roles at companies like Milestone Systems, BCDVideo, and Oosto, to launching Argus Systems DWC LLC and Rohit Khubchandani Advertising, he balances innovation with inspiration. He’s been the face of cover stories in Channel Middle East and featured in Tahawul Tech and Security Middle East, speaking on AI, surveillance, and the future of technology. Rohit adds a touch of enchantment to everything he does. He’s performed, published, and even walked the halls of The Magic Castle in LA, proving that wonder is never too far from his world.

His influence also reaches into Dubai’s cultural fabric. As a jury member for the first-ever homegrown musical, “Once Upon a Time in Dubai,” backed by Universal Music and McDonald’s, Rohit played a pivotal role in shaping what will become a milestone in the region’s entertainment history. With names like Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez tied to the project, Rohit’s involvement is a reflection of both his creative credibility and commitment to pushing artistic boundaries. On Google Maps, he’s a Level 7 Local Guide, with over 4.5 million views on his travel and food reviews. He’s in the top 10% of reviewers in Dubai, sharing honest recommendations that elevate experiences for locals and tourists alike.

With every step, whether on desert sands or snow-covered peaks, Rohit lives the mission that his handle suggests—a traveler licensed to explore, inspire, and connect.His nomination for Travel Influencer of the Year at IMA 2025 is a nod to that journey. To the reels that make you dream, the insights that make you think, and the vision that invites you to see the world not just as it is, but as it could be. Congratulations, Rohit for this well deserved recognition!
