In the constantly alarming entrepreneurial space in India, King Sidharth stands out as a live wire of innovation and inspiration. This journey, an amalgamation of multifarious roles as an entrepreneur, speaker, designer, and author, manifests nothing but passion and courage to shatter conventional norms.
Early Life and Entrepreneurial Spirit
Born in Northern India in the year 1990, Sidharth exhibited entrepreneurial acumen from a young age. At the mere age of 11, he was already hosting local events and competitions while charging for entry and awarding prizes—an indication of his innate business sense. Although such a venture on his part primarily allowed him to demonstrate leadership qualities, it was also the birth of a vocation that would later witness him tirelessly pursuing the creation of platforms for the youth.
Pioneering ‘Friendz’ Magazine
In his 10th grade, Sidharth recognized that there was no platform that seemed to address issues pertaining to teenagers, and so he initiated the venture called ‘Friendz’, which was an online magazine meant to bring together like-minded people. The next 3-4 years’ of consolidating ‘Friendz’ gave it a readership of about 10,000, allowing a forum for teenagers to discuss their problems and aspirations, thereby reinforcing Sidharth’s commitment to youth empowerment.
Decisions on Education and Career
Sidharth’s life changed after he graduated from high school. Despite being accepted to an arts college, the traditional education system was found not to fit his goal of starting his own business. After a year, he made a dramatic choice of dropping out and then worked his way into various real-world experiences and ventures. That decision now led him to co-found Mutiny Labs, a company founded for innovative web design solutions. He was later part of the founding team of Instamojo which supports 20 Lakh+ Indian independent businesses with online store and online payment solutions. As Head of Product Design, Sidharth played a key role in serving over 300,000 businesses underlining his contribution to India’s growing digital commerce scene. Currently, he heads Product and Design at GrowthSchool, focusing on creating impactful learning experiences for professionals.
Inspirational Speaking and Thought Leadership
In addition to his business activities, Sidharth is known for giving interesting talks about business, design, and personal growth. He has been in several places, including some of the most prestigious institutions like IITs, BITS Goa, as well as NITs, and events like TEDx. The sessions encompass subjects such as start-up building, career options in UI/UX designing, or even how someone can use the internet for personal growth.
The journey of King Sidharth, from a young event organizer to a top figure in India’s entrepreneurial and design space, is a testimony to the magic of self-belief and resurrection. His work remains an inspiration for the new generation to step out of conventional molds, walk on their own conscience, and do good for the society.
