The Legacy

About Roshan

Three degrees. One mission. An unstoppable journey from Karur to the world.

Introduction

The Industrial Showman

I'm Roshan Rajkumar Sivakumar — a 22-year-old from Karur, Tamil Nadu, India. I serve as Chief Operating Officer at Sri Jai Groups, where I lead operations analytics and strategic decision-making for the organisation.

My academic path is anything but ordinary: a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, an MBA from Christ University Bangalore, and a dual MBA + Master of Decision Analytics from Virginia Commonwealth University, USA — all before turning 23.

Beyond the boardroom, I founded myThrivehood in 2021 — a free educational and career support platform that has since touched thousands of students and young professionals across India. I write, think, and lead with purpose.
