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.
