Students pursuing the course are more likely to start off their own business especially dental clinics and they had lot of insights on business fundamentals and building their startup.

We are happy to announce that our founder and Startup Expert Shyam Sekar S, has been recognized as one of the Top Startup Coaches by Coach Foundation, USA.

Shyam is a startup expert, business growth and digital marketing specialist, helping startups and SMEs to launch, build, scale up revenues profitably. He has coached, mentored, trained 8000+ founders, aspiring entrepreneurs and professionals over 8+ years. He is the founder of Startup Xperts and Voxit Media Tech. Besides, he is a Rotary Club President (21-22) and part of various organizations, associations, and initiatives, supporting to build a sustainable startup ecosystem.

What do you do differently or how is your coaching different from others?

I do not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach which is more common in the industry. I focus on custom-consulting that focuses on goals/outcomes. Our mentoring program is special as it takes into consideration the founder/entrepreneur’s background, their strengths, weakness, aspirations, maturity, knowledge, budgets, risk taking ability, vision, aspirations, culture, amongst many. I also consult founders and sometimes take up the role of a Virtual-CMO helping them not just coach, but walk along with them in execution of strategies through smart tactics. This gives the founders not just knowledge but also the confidence to build and scale-up their business.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?

The single most important thing that has not just contributed to the success but significant credibility is the breadth and depth of knowledge which is a rare to find. I use different coaching models – Business Mentoring for aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs, Growth Consulting Model for startup founders, and Virtual-CMO consulting model for startups and SMEs that require scaling up revenues, expand their business. Each will require unique and proven (smart) strategies that incorporates growth hack techniques.
