Mumbai, India - July 16, 2025 : Second-generation
entrepreneur Keshav Maheshwari, scion of one of India’s most
respected academic coaching empires, the ALLEN Career Institute, launches his
podcast series with a bold message: legacy doesn’t come with instructions.
“Being born into a business family doesn’t mean you’re born with
business sense,” Keshav says. “There’s no manual just Sunday
meetings about cash flows and the quiet pressure of expectations.”
Set against the backdrop of a high-stakes education sector where
India’s offline and hybrid test-prep market is projected to reach ₹75,000 crore
(approx. $9 billion) by 2026, according to RedSeer Consulting-Keshav offers a
rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it truly means to grow up within an
institution that prepares millions for exams, while quietly preparing oneself
for leadership.
This isn’t just another founder origin story it’s a generational
rethink. Through personal anecdotes and candid reflection, Keshav
explores themes of legacy, identity, and the myth of being “born ready” for
business, striking a powerful chord with family-run enterprises across
sectors.
