This saying aptly defines the journey of Mr. Sudendu Shah.
At a young age, Sudendu Shah is the CEO of Pride Group.

Owning to his leadership qualities and strong will, Sudendu Shah won the ‘Indian Achiever’s Award ’ for ‘ Excellence in Business Leadership.’
It is said Anything worth having, doesn’t come easy with Aspirations turning into Reality!!
With this saying it gives me great pleasure to announce that Mr. Sudendu Shah has been recognised under ‘India 500 CEO’s’.
He started with a clean-slate, single-handedly took up the responsibility of his own business and made it into a huge success without any guidance and support from the industry.
It is due to his constant conviction and dedication that he has turned a vision into reality by achieving ‘Worldwide Achiever’s Award’ – ‘Most Promising Entrepreneur of the Year’ and this is not just the end recently his hard work, dedication and sincerity paid off and he is awarded and recognized by ‘Brands Accord (India) 30 Under 30’ – ‘Youngest Self Made Entrepreneur 2022’ . He has even been featured in a striking article in Forbes India! And to top it all, the year 2023 brought forth a huge milestone where he was invited to talk at TEDx Pradhikaran and share his journey to inspire millions ahead.
Early Life
Being originally from a small town called Solapur, Sudendu Shah, grew up in a middle-class family.
In his early phase he migrated to Pune City to pursue his education. He then started exhibiting his entrepreneurial skills from the age of 11 years when kids of his age were enjoying their carefree school life.
Initially, a reseller of “Mukhavas”, and then helping out his father in his catering business, he had already set a foot into the industry.
The Quest to Accomplish & The First milestone
“The greatest quest in life is to reach one’s optimum potential”
Sudendu Shah during in his college days was an avid fan of football and the finest football player. He had an unflinching zest of leading, empathizing and motivating others.
In consideration with these qualities and knowing well of his abilities, he was able to establish his coaching academy called “Pride Coaching Academy.”
He then dedicated his time and sweat to the cause and opened 4 more branches of this academy in just 2 years and from thereon, he never looked back.
“When following your passion nothing is really ‘Sacrificed’, it is always ‘Compromised’ for the better”. – Says Mr. Sudendu Shah
During the course of getting graduated as a Mechanical Engineer, he wanted to start his own business and become an entrepreneur. This phase was a crucial stage where he had to strike a balance between his education, his career and his ambition.
With his business acumen and managerial skills he stepped into the field of “Event Management,” and initialed his own company named ‘Pride Group’.
This was the first milestone to come along his way.
Making a Strong Headway
Sudendu Shah was determined to spare no effort in the growth, development and functioning of ‘Pride’.
He tackled one field at a time with creativity and innovation and made a strong headway towards progress working with prestigious brands like INOX, Dainik Jagaran, Aditya Birla Group and many more.
With his firmness and fixity of purpose he further expanded and diversified “Pride Group” into various discrete avenues including garment business in 2015 and the IT sector in 2016- 2017.

‘The Volume Itself Speaks Of Its Success.’
Pride Services now has around 5700 clients across 83+ different countries in the world.
It is a Multinational Company having multiple offices in countries like India, USA, UK, Dubai and Kuwait.

Pride Services encompasses various business avenues such as, Digital Marketing, Web Development, Garment Business, Export & Import and much more. It aims to grow larger and represent our country on an international platform making a prestigious mark on the globe.
Sudendu Shah’s words, “Don’t work for me, work with me” epitomizes his dauntless spirit of working with his team conjointly and achieving great success together. It is due to this conjecture, that ‘Team-work’ is the utmost priority for every Pride member working with ‘Pride Group’.
It is his strong opinion that, “Working together creates history” which means that if several potential minds work and grow together success is already taken care of.
“Hence, though a young idealistic personality has created an empire, his ardour to achieve more reflects through his thoughts and sets forth a vision of grandeur success”.
