Eagle-Hearted Maven
In the grand mosaic of life, some individuals weave their unique patterns, leaving an everlasting mark on the world. Divyansh Sahu, born on September 14, 1994, into a family immersed in the world of business, embarked on a journey that mirrors Robert Frost’s contemplation of ‘The Road Not Taken.’ His narrative unfolds with the roots of his childhood deeply embedded in the ethos of his family’s chemical import-export business, “Sahu Chemicals,” based in Delhi, India.
From his early years, Divyansh exhibited a spirited curiosity, a hunger to explore every facet of life. Schooled at Manav Sthali School, New Delhi, he proved to be an extroverted and notorious kid, a distinctive character that drew the attention of all his teachers. The allure of sports captivated him, and emulating the discipline and success of his role model, Cristiano Ronaldo, he joined the basketball team, achieving a remarkable feat by making it to the state level.
Divyansh’s academic journey led him to pursue Chemical Engineering at B.M.S. College of Engineering, Bangalore, a decision that proved transformative. Despite the challenges of relocating from Delhi to Bangalore, he navigated through each semester with a charismatic approach, earning him the position of placement coordinator for his batch.
Post-engineering, Divyansh returned to Delhi to support his father’s business. Immersed in the intricacies of managing accounts, inventory, and global transactions, he discovered the art of “figuring it out,” a mantra that would shape his future decisions. The year 2018 marked a pivotal moment when he realized the need to carve his own identity, leading him to pursue an MBA in international business from the University of Bridgeport, Connecticut.
In the United States, Divyansh found mentors in individuals like Elena Cahill, Dr. Arthur C. McAdams, and Xhoena Mamushi. Their unwavering support and guidance fueled his ascent in the realms of business. Divyansh’s journey unfolded through diverse roles, from manufacturing CBD distillates in Oregon to contributing significantly to the operations of Crude Chem Technology in his current role as Operations Manager.
Family and God play a pivotal role in Divyansh’s life. His mother, the biggest pillar of his life, and his brother Aryan, his unwavering supporter in good, bad, or worse, have been his constant sources of emotional balance and harmony. They are all together like his breaths, providing him with strength and support in every endeavor.
The idea that ignited the flame
Divyansh’s foray into the business world stems from a childhood immersed in observing his father’s relentless dedication to Sahu Chemicals.
