Before he began working as a business leader, Shashwat Samudra had attended university to develop a solid foundation of skills and knowledge.

Each of his experiences, both in his academics and extracurricular activities, provided Shashwat with an excellent foundation for his career. Within a year of graduating from Cornell, Shashwat decided to get involved in entrepreneurship and became the owner and operator of a health food and supplements franchise. For three years, Shashwat ran all of the daily business operations. He managed profits and losses, inventory control, product pricing, competitive offering, and product promotion. Besides the product-based tasks, Shashwat also ran all of the sales and marketing and talent acquisition for the business.
