His journey from a humble background to becoming a Marcomms Manager is nothing short of inspiring.
Senthil Kumar was born and raised in Chennai in a large joint family, experiencing a comfortable childhood. However, life took a sudden turn when his family faced a significant financial setback during his early school years. This forced them to leave their home and lifestyle behind, moving from comfort to survival mode. Despite the challenges, Senthil’s determination never wavered. He quickly adapted to the new circumstances, taking on part-time jobs to support his education, all while maintaining his academic performance.
From a young age, Senthil realized the importance of financial independence. Despite the hardships, he continued to pursue his studies, albeit with a different perspective. He wasn’t driven by academic excellence but by the need to secure a stable future.
After completing his higher secondary education, Senthil decided to step directly into the workforce. His career began with a modest job as a sales executive at a local electronics showroom. Here, he discovered his knack for sales and customer interaction, skills that would prove invaluable in the years to come.

Despite lacking a formal degree, Senthil’s talent and work ethic caught the attention of his superiors, leading to an opportunity in the IT sector, a dream for many at that time.
Without a degree but armed with experience and a willingness to learn, Senthil took on the challenge of transitioning to a career in IT.

Over the next several years, Senthil honed his skills in web design, digital marketing, and brand communication, eventually rising to the position of a Brand Communications Manager.
