It’s Not the End – The Ongoing Journey of Biswojeet Swain
Today, I take a moment to reflect on a journey that began in a small town in Odisha, filled with dreams much larger than my circumstances.
Born into a humble lower-middle-class family, I was blessed with values that shaped me far beyond textbooks. My father, a small businessman, and my late mother gave me the greatest gift – belief in myself. Her memory still fuels every step I take.
From my early school days, I was driven by passion and purpose. I earned the Governor Award in Bharat Scouts & Guides, learned leadership and discipline in NCC (Bravo Grade), and danced my way to national stages, winning trophies and representing my crew in reality shows. I’ve also expressed myself through painting and sketching, and always found peace in art.
Life was not always kind. While pursuing my B.Com at Municipal College, Odisha, I lost my mother. That was my breaking point—but also my turning point. Financial hardship pushed me to take part-time jobs, from being a Zomato delivery executive during COVID to giving private tuitions and working as a certified fitness trainer and rehab specialist.
Still, I held onto my dreams.
Through it all, my family became my anchor. My younger sister stood tall like a pillar, even though she was younger, she acted like my elder sister—my friend, my guide, and my constant support. My father, too, carried immense strength, never letting us feel broken, acting as if nothing had happened, and becoming the backbone of our little world. Their courage gave me the will to move forward.
Life, however, also gifted me unexpected blessings. A woman came into my life, loving me as her own child—I call her my Yashoda maa, and I am her Krishna. It feels as if my mother sent her to care for me. I was fortunate to find a partner who always stood beside me, supporting me through every storm. Her belief in me became my strength. Her father, too, trusted me, saw the potential in me, I moved to Pune to pursue my MBA in Finance. There, I didn’t just earn a degree—I built a legacy and became Mr Vista 2022-24 and Student of the year batch 2024. I became the Board of Director at Rotaract Club of SBES, revived my old initiative, and founded a registered NGO – Elements Foundation, now active in Maharashtra.
Alongside, I pursued certifications in Tattoo Art, Nutrition, and Body Transformation Coaching.
In 2023, I interned with Deloitte as a Tax Consultant in Hyderabad and in 2024, I started my full-time journey at Deloitte—the proudest moment for that little boy from Odisha who once thought higher education was beyond reach.
