How I redefined success, leadership, and reinvention | Shivansh Jindal | TEDxSSCBS
In this heartfelt and powerful TEDx talk at SSCBS, Shivansh Jindal, CEO of Merchant Records, shares a deeply personal journey of chasing dreams, redefining success, and constantly reinventing himself beyond every so-called "final frontier."
From being a top consultant at Bain to launching a successful music label, working with legends like Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, and now building a tech app and fashion brand—Shivansh opens up about the unseen struggles behind success: losing touch with friends, missing out on family, and learning to become not just a leader, but a better human.
This talk isn’t just about career wins—it's about what lies beyond them. It’s about the courage to press reset, the humility to return home, and the ambition to create a life of freedom, purpose, and human connection.
If you're a student, dreamer, entrepreneur, or creator—this talk will move you, challenge you, and maybe even change you.#TEDxSSCBS #Beyond the final frontier
