Where career changes in most cases carry some risk, CA Mukesh Shukla's evolution from Chartered Accountant to one of India's top business coaches and social entrepreneurs is a story of purposeful ambition. Having operated from Lucknow for more than 25 years, Mr. Shukla comes with a wealth of experience in finance as well as business strategy. In 1999, he established the Samadhan Group with a defined purpose — empowering India's youth and reinforcing the country's economic backbone through entrepreneurship.

With his far-sighted vision, Samadhan has developed as a center of socially relevant business ventures in harmony with national campaigns such as Atma Nirbhar Bharat. As the group President, CA Mukesh Shukla directs a series of platforms for capacity building, incubation of start-ups, and rural development.

One of the most prominent initiatives of the group, the Institute for Industrial Development (IID), started in 2017. Supported by the Ministry of MSME and ties in ten states, IID has guided more than 10,000 aspiring entrepreneurs, providing training, mentorship, and experiential startup guidance.

Since 2019, CA Mukesh Shukla has been engaged with Udyami, the government-backed portal and mobile app that stimulates entrepreneurship in rural and village industries under the PMEGP scheme. The platform has already trained over 2.5 lakh entrepreneurs, making it an important tool for potential business owners nationwide.

He also runs Channel 515 on Tata Play, the Har Ghar Startup initiative—a pioneering TV channel delivering startup education, inspiring success stories, and practical business guidance directly to households across India.

Coupled with this, Hunar India — an ed-tech platform built with NSDC and Samadhan — is redefining the future of skill acquisition. The app provides long-term content in career guidance, exam coaching, and vocational training, empowering thousands to attain success.

Apart from these endeavors, CA Mukesh Shukla is also engaged at a deep level in spirituality and cultural activities. From 2008 to date, he is trustee Bharat Mata Mandir, Haridwar and Secretary of Bharat Samanvya, Lucknow,where he guides both offline activities and an expanding digital outreach through YouTube.

His dedication to economic empowerment does not stop at training — it goes all the way to financial support. Shukla has facilitated raising close to ₹1,500 crore of capital for more than 2,000 MSME projects, such as renewable energy, cold storage, and food processing startups.

His impact extends to publishing and online media as well. He is the author of a 3-volume "Entrepreneurship Development Program," the managing editor of Samadhan Business magazine, and the founder of Entrepreneur India TV, a YouTube channel that has over 1 million subscribers and 70 million views.

From ground-level development to top-of-the-line coaching, CA Mukesh Shukla continues to guide with ethics, foresight, and an unbreakable faith in India's entrepreneurial space — making him one of the nation's most revered business coaches today.
