About Satyam Priyadarshy
- I am most inspired by my mother, who is always calm even in the toughest situations.
- I am known for my ability to work in totally diverse fields simultaneously.
- Writings of the legendary teacher Chanakya (350 – 283 BC) motivate me. The modern writings are derivatives of his work on economics, leadership, and other areas.
- Not everyone knows that I was one of the youngest individuals to obtain a Ph.D. from one of the top institutions of India.
- What wonders me the most is the importance of “Shunya” (Zero) or “Nothing” and why people spend their life behind it.
- I am passionate about teaching, mentoring and coaching.
- I believe in learning from my mistakes and from other people’s mistakes, because life is too short to make all the mistakes.
