Episode 62: Career: Management Consultant to Storyteller w/Abhay Maheshwari
About Abhay Maheshwari:
My first guest on the career series is Abhay Maheshwari. I met Abhay through the Spotify India and Ideabrew studio LevelUp program for podcasters. I was fascinated by Abhay's story. He took to storytelling, open mics and podcasting only after completing his engineering degree and landing a full-time job. Despite being encouraged and nudged to participate in drama, skits, and cultural activities, he hesitated to deviate from the traditional career path in school and college.
Listen in to learn how Abhay became an award-winning storyteller, nationally featured writer and a TEDx speaker.
