In this episode of The Bottom Line, we sit down with Punit Thakkar, Founder of Shivami and a true pioneer who stepped into India's tech landscape just as the internet was arriving. With over 30 years of experience, Punit shares a deeply personal and masterfully resilient approach to entrepreneurship, culture, and technological transitions.
We cover:
Moving from a service mindset to product creation, the common mistakes made, and surviving business failure.
The inspiring story behind Shivami’s women-centric workforce and how supporting mothers returning to tech transformed their company culture.
How India’s rapid progress shapes Gen Z workforce expectations, stress resilience, and productivity.
Moving from web design to cloud, and why Shivami has mandated AI adoption for 100% of its operations.
The psychological shift required to stay number one and why Punit thanks the competitors who refused to help him early on.
Whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur, an IT leader navigating digital transformation, or curious about fostering deep workplace loyalty, this episode offers a refreshing, grounded, and patriotic take on driving innovation from India to the world.
