From executing flawlessly as a young manager to learning people leadership in middle management, from handling complexity as a senior leader to shifting mindsets at the CEO level — he explains the journey step-by-step, with brutal honesty and decades of lived wisdom. He also reveals the four things that truly build your personal brand inside a company: consistent delivery, collaboration, honesty, and reputation outside work. And why today’s career landscape looks nothing like the 80s — when companies offered 3% home loans, bought your furniture, and guaranteed job security. This is a sharp look into how corporate India really works — what companies reward, what they silently judge, and why the CEO role is far lonelier, riskier, and more scrutinized than anyone imagines. This is just a 10-minute cut from the full conversation — where Shiv dives deeper into leadership psychology, how careers were built in the 80s vs today, the real responsibilities of a CEO, and why ambition without self-awareness can destroy a career. 🎧 Watch the full episode now on Finance With Sharan. •⁠ ⁠• • About Shiv Shivakumar Shiv Shivakumar is one of India’s most respected business leaders, with a career spanning four decades across FMCG, telecom, and consumer businesses.
