  • Hi, I am Bhavesh Sanghvi. I started my career as a sales executive in 1989.
  • After almost 13 years of grinding, I joined Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance.
  • Losing my wife to cancer put the whole ‘career’ thing in perspective.
  • I decided to take a sabbatical after 33 years of continuous working.  

From being a Sales Executive in Mumbai to working in Oman

I have an extremely humble background. My dad used to work at the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) to take care of our family. We had some toughest days but I never lamented over it.

From the age of 16, I started working, be it as a summer trainee at Housing Development Finance Corporation Limited (HDFC), doing market research, selling aerosol sprays on a commission basis, or even acting while doing my B. Com.

The money helped me pay for my college fees.
