About me.

I'm Dr. Shivam Sood — an eye doctor with a heart full of fire for freedom. My story began in Kaithal, Haryana, in a family that valued education and open thinking. My grandparents raised me while my doctor parents built their practice. My grandfather — an English teacher — made sure I spoke the language well and thought clearly. I was a bright kid, but often felt lost, unsure of what I wanted, with no internet or AI to help me find the answers.

Music was my first love. I collected audio cassette tapes in an almirah like they were treasures. I picked biology to avoid mathematics, joined MBBS in 2010 because it was what was expected of me, and went on to complete my Master of Surgery in Ophthalmology in 2015 — later earning fellowships that sharpened my craft and deepened my purpose.

Today, as an IOL, refractive, and medical retina consultant and Deputy Medical Director, I've given my all to changing lives — not just by helping people see better, but by building systems that help healthcare teams thrive. From purchases and negotiations to administration, hiring, and retail pharmacy builds from the ground up, I've learned to run organisations as well as operating theatres. Tools like Zoho Books, EMR platforms, inventory systems, HR automation through Connecteam, and biometric and CCTV infrastructure are as familiar to me as a slit lamp.

Outside medicine, I'm a dreamer. I ran an electronic music label for over four years — making beats built on freedom and joy. But in October 2017, a failed business broke me. It left my mind in a storm and my heart heavy with shame. That moment, however, changed everything.

Guided by a wise mentor, I turned to meditation. It saved me — calming my anger, clearing my mind, and helping me become a steadier, stronger version of myself. Better choices followed. Better outcomes followed.

In 2019, I met my life partner. In 2022, we welcomed our child — a joy that made my purpose unmistakably clear.

Today, I create content on financial independence (FIRE), productivity, and eye health — speaking directly to India's dreamers and doers on YouTube, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and beyond. What started as a quiet mission has grown into a living, breathing movement.

My goal is simple: to break the walls holding you back. To reclaim your time, build a secure future, and see the world with clear, unafraid eyes.

Join me. Let's rise together — and build a free, vibrant life where your freedom becomes our shared story.
