Bhubaneswar: The US-based professional networking site LinkedIn has named Odisha’s Sindhu Biswal among the ‘Top-5 Creators to Follow ‘. LinkedIn’s announcement came three days back, when Daniel Roth, Editor-in-Chief and VP at LinkedIn announced the names of the top-5 creators, and Sindhu is the first from Odisha to be named in the list.
A young MBA graduate belonging to Cuttack, Sindhu’s journey has been modest yet maverick. He had an urge not to tread the traditional course. The young lad was more into music when pursuing BBA and had a very supportive family. Today, Sindhu is a pro in coaching startupreneurs and fostering their growth.
“After completing my MBA from Amity NOIDA, I joined a startup and had a clear vision for my career. Needless to say, the package was low but this opportunity opened the windows for me to learn and grow. I moved to Mumbai and then to Bangalore, where am based currently. The eight-year-long journey so far has been very exciting and enterprising,” Sindhu said.
Sindhu is the son of Cuttack-based Prabhat Biswal and Babita Biswal. According to Sindhu, he has been blessed with very supportive parents who have guided and mentored his plans and actions throughout his career.
“To be named among the top 5 creators came as a pleasant surprise. I am yet to absorb it and thank LinkedIn for the ranking,” he added. Sindhu is a multi-faceted personality. His profile reads Life Coaching, Career Development Coaching, Marketing, Consulting, Digital Marketing, et al. “The journey of dreaming to be an Astronaut to Songwriter to Marketing Professional has been a delight overall,” he adds.
Sindhu has been actively guiding startup entrepreneurs with valuable life and professional advice. He says, “The entrepreneur, whatever his/her background is – must have a clarity for the product or service and down-to-earth short & long-term goals.” The youngster has ideas to work closely with startups in his home state Odisha and help them succeed.
“I have an upfront and active plan to work with the Government and all MBA colleges in Odisha on the startup eco-system in the State,” he added.
