Dive into the extraordinary journey of Jeevika Tyagi, a visionary entrepreneur who defied odds and conquered the business world, one courageous step at a time. Born into a business family in Delhi, she embarked on a remarkable journey from the bustling streets of India to the skyscrapers of New York City, ultimately deciding to pursue entrepreneurship.

In this podcast episode, Jeevika shares her captivating tale, pursuing her passion for Finance and Marketing, leading her to Drexel University where she dual majored, driven by her innate business acumen. Her tenacity paid off when she landed a prestigious role at JP Morgan at the tender age of 19, followed swiftly by a groundbreaking position at BlackRock's New York office, where she encountered Larry Fink himself in a chance elevator encounter.

However, the allure of corporate success couldn't quench Jeevika's thirst for fulfillment. Disillusioned by the monotony of her dream job, she made the bold decision to forge her own path, despite the financial security it offered. Returning to India, she faced adversity headon as she relocated to Mumbai to helm a production house and eventually launching her own brand with a groundbreaking 10 Cr investment based solely on product prototypes.

She recounts her entire journey on Shark Tank, from the nervewracking application process to facing the formidable panel of judges. She shares invaluable insights into the importance of preparation, her perception of the judges, and the transformative power of the Shark Tank platform in catapulting her brand to unprecedented heights.

Jeevika goes on to share her exhilarating experience as a new mother navigating the cutthroat world of entrepreneurship, from raising funds during pregnancy to juggling meetings from the hospital bed, defying conventions by eschewing maternity leave.
