After completing his schooling at St. Xavier\u2019s High School, he pursued his graduation at VIT University, Chennai.<\/p>\n<p>Shivam spent <strong>five years at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)<\/strong>, starting as a <strong>backend developer<\/strong>, where he worked with numbers and technical solutions. But it was during his last two years, when he moved into a client-facing role as a technical consultant, that he discovered something crucial-his true passion lay beyond coding. He wanted to be on the other side of the table-not just executing tasks but driving business strategy and making an impact.<\/p>\n<h2>Stepping into the world of business<\/h2>\n<div class=\"quo\">\n<p><em>The biggest lesson I learned is that growth begins where comfort ends.
