'''Dr. Abhishek Srivastav''' (born 19 November 1989) is an Indian author, educator, motivational speaker, trainer, entrepreneur, and author coach. He is known for his contributions to education, personal development, training, leadership development, and motivational literature. He is the founder and chief executive officer of '''SuccessX Eduventures''', an enterprise focused on learning, training, publishing, branding, consulting, and growth solutions.

Over the course of his career, he has worked as a teacher, trainer, mentor, speaker, and author. He is also known for his advocacy of lifelong learning, extensive reading habits, and educational development initiatives.

== Early Life and Background ==

Dr. Abhishek Srivastav was born on 19 November 1989 in [[wikipedia:Barauni|Barauni]], a small town in the [[wikipedia:Begusarai district|Begusarai district]] of [[wikipedia:Bihar|Bihar]], [[wikipedia:India|India]], into a lower-middle-class family. Barauni is his maternal home. His mother is a homemaker with little educational background while his father served as a government employee in clerical cadre.

Being a government employee, his father deeply understood the importance of education and firmly believed that academic excellence was the foundation of a successful life. As a result, the family environment strongly emphasized learning, discipline, and academic achievement. Education was treated as a top priority in the household, and his father maintained a strict, zero-tolerance policy toward studies.

Dr. Abhishek Srivastav was raised under a highly disciplined upbringing where hard work, responsibility and respect for education were considered essential values. The strong academic environment created by his father and his unwavering commitment to education, played a significant role in shaping his outlook toward learning and character development from an early age.

== Education ==

Dr. Abhishek Srivastav received his early education at Lady Marium Convent School, an English-medium school in [[wikipedia:Barauni|Barauni]], [[wikipedia:Bihar|Bihar]], where he studied from Nursery to Class 5. He later moved to [[wikipedia:Patna|Patna]], where he completed his schooling from Class 6 to Class 12 at Shivam Convent, an English-medium school.

After completing his school education, he made multiple attempts to pursue higher studies. He enrolled in the Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) program through [[wikipedia:Indira Gandhi National Open University|IGNOU]] but discontinued the course within six months. He later joined the Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com.) program through the Directorate of Distance Education (DDE), [[wikipedia:Patna University|Patna University]]. However, after facing academic challenges and failing in the examination, he discontinued the program as well.

As a result, Dr. Abhishek Srivastav often describes himself as a "12th-fail college dropout," reflecting the academic setbacks that marked the early phase of his life. Despite these challenges, he continued his pursuit of knowledge through self-education, extensive reading, practical learning, and professional experience. In 2022, he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate by Theophany University, Haiti, in recognition of his contributions to education, motivation, and personal development.

== Early Career ==

After failing Class 12 in 2007, Dr. Abhishek Srivastav appeared for the compartmental examination and soon began working to become financially independent. Due to significant differences with his father and a strong desire to stand on his own feet, he entered the workforce at an early age.

He started his career as a staff member at a local coaching institute, where he worked from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for a monthly salary of ₹2,000. His responsibilities included managing attendance records, handling clerical work, supervising day-to-day operations, distributing handbills, and setting up promotional canopies on roads to attract students. For promotional activities conducted on the roads and marketplaces, he received additional remuneration.

In 2008, he began his teaching career as an [[wikipedia:English language|English]] teacher at the same coaching institute. Owing to his strong command of the English language, he initially taught middle class (class 6 to 8) students and later progressed to teaching secondary-level students. Over the following years, he taught at several coaching institutes and gradually built a reputation as a dedicated teacher.

In 2011, he entered the school education sector and began working as an English teacher in private schools. He continued teaching in private educational institutions until 2024, gaining extensive experience in classroom teaching, student development, communication skills, and educational training.

== Struggle, Failure and Rejection ==

Struggle, failure, and rejection have been defining elements of Dr. Abhishek Srivastav's journey. Throughout his life, he has faced numerous setbacks, disappointments, and obstacles, yet he continued to move forward with resilience and determination. During the early years of his career, securing opportunities was a constant challenge. Many schools either declined to hire him or rejected his applications without offering him a chance to demonstrate his abilities. In some cases, he was unable to even secure a meeting with school management. He also launched his own coaching institute, but the venture eventually failed, adding to his financial and professional challenges.

Beyond professional setbacks, he experienced repeated rejection in his efforts to build meaningful professional relationships and networks. Many individuals he wished to learn from or connect with were either unavailable or unwilling to engage with him. However, instead of allowing rejection to define his future, he chose to learn from every setback and continued experimenting with new strategies and approaches.

Over time, these experiences strengthened his character, resilience, and self-belief. Dr. Abhishek Srivastav believes that failure is not the opposite of success but an essential part of the journey toward it. His life reflects a commitment to perseverance, continuous improvement, and the courage to rise again after every setback.
