Siddhant’s journey into leadership was inspired by two powerful forces: legacy and transformation. Growing up in a family deeply rooted in entrepreneurship, he was exposed early on to the workings of Atherton Engineering. The lessons of business came naturally but it was personal adversity that truly ignited his path.
In his early twenties, Siddhant was diagnosed with Type-2 diabetes. What could have been a limiting life sentence instead became his defining moment. Rather than resigning to medication, he committed to reversing the condition through lifestyle changes, driven by research, discipline, and sheer willpower. That transformation wasn’t just physical it redefined his mindset, purpose, and leadership style.
This experience sparked his passion for wellness, resilience, and helping others navigate life’s challenges with strength and self-belief. Around the same time, Siddhant began taking on a larger role at Atherton Engineering, helping modernize the business while maintaining its proud heritage. Navigating these responsibilities at a young age refined his approach to leadership: adaptive, people-first, and purpose-driven.
Today, Siddhant defines leadership in 2025 as “purpose-driven influence” a blend of authenticity, emotional intelligence, and the courage to uplift others while staying anchored in one’s own values.
