Anubavam’s global status is evidence that Sivakumar’s dedication to finding success never wavered even during times when it was difficult or seemed impossible. No matter what obstacle came his way he has always remained professional and reliable.
Another vital factor for my success is my willingness to take risks and try new things. As an entrepreneur, I know that failure is inevitable. However, I am always ready to experiment and adjust my approach whenever necessary. This risk-taking mindset keeps me ahead of the competition in this fast-paced industry, and helps me come up with innovative solutions continuously even through changing circumstances,” he explains.
Speaking about his entrepreneurial journey he says, “Entrepreneurship has always been my passion, and I attribute it to my upbringing. My father was a successful businessman, and as a child, I had the opportunity to be present in his office after school hours. There I would help him out with various tasks and observe how he ran his business.
My dad’s hard work, vision, and ability to create something from nothing greatly inspired me to follow in his footsteps and build something of my own one day.
After completing my education and gaining some experience in the tech industry, I felt ready to take the leap and start my own business. It was driven by a desire to create something truly mine that pushed me forward.”
Sivakumar, our CEO starts and ends each day in deep meditation. He says it helps him to retain focus and calm throughout the day. Sivakumar follows a daily routine of introspection and self-analysis which helps him identify his strengths and weaknesses. He’s an extremely disciplined individual who never loses sight of his goals. For this reason, he achieves success in every aspect of his life. Additionally, he has a positive mindset and chooses to see the good in people. This allows him to help them enhance their strengths, rather than dwelling on their weaknesses. Sivakumar also values learning from mistakes instead of beating himself up for them like most people do. Lastly, he surrounds himself with supportive individuals who are like-minded so that they can share positivity with one another.
