About Keshav
I am a dynamic professional with a robust background in both entrepreneurship and strategic development. Coming from a Math undergrad background, I initiated my career in my family’s industrial water purification business, where I established and directed a new subsidiary specifically tailored to the automotive manufacturing industry. This experience not only honed my skills in business development but also deepened my understanding of industry-specific challenges and solutions. I later transitioned to the digital marketing realm, where I contributed to the growth of small businesses and budding entrepreneurs through innovative lead generation and personalized marketing strategies. Building on my passion for education and finance, I founded an educational services company that focuses on finance and math instruction for adult learners. In my role, I developed and delivered comprehensive courses in quantitative finance, probability, regression, derivatives, and managerial finance, equipping students with essential skills for advancement. Leveraging my Cornell MBA, I am currently immersed in the private equity consulting sector. My goal is to deepen my expertise in this field with aspirations to one day launch a PE-backed venture. I am driven by the pursuit of excellence and the desire to make a lasting impact in the industries I serve.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I am deeply committed to making lasting, material impacts in the lives of others. My aspiration is to embody the change I want to see in the world, aiding young professionals as they navigate complex, life-defining decisions—from selecting educational programs to transitioning careers, or even relocating geographically. My journey has been significantly shaped by incredible mentors, including my family members, sports coaches, and professors during my undergraduate studies in math. Each played a pivotal role in my development by providing undivided attention and genuine concern for my future. This profound support has not only touched my heart but also empowered me to forge my own path through various entrepreneurial ventures. Furthermore, as a lifelong student of communication, I profoundly believe in the transformative power of motivation. My coaching approach is rooted in this belief, aiming to unlock potential and inspire action. By engaging with clients, I strive to pass on the guidance and inspiration that was so generously afforded to me, enabling others to achieve their fullest potential and make informed decisions that align with their personal and professional aspirations.
