About me.

I’m Dr. Shivam Sood, an eye doctor with a heart full of fire for freedom, a journey that started in the small town of Kaithal, Haryana, where I grew up in a family that valued education and open thinking—my parents and grandparents showing me the way. My grandparents raised me while my doctor parents worked hard to build their practice, and my granddad, an English teacher, made sure I spoke the language well, setting me up for the future, though I was a bright kid who felt lost, unsure of what I wanted, with no internet or AI to help answer my questions.

I loved music from my school days, collecting audio cassette tapes in an almirah like they were treasures, but I picked biology to avoid math and joined MBBS in 2010 because it’s what I was expected to do, later finishing my Master of Surgery in Ophthalmology in 2015 and earning fellowships that made me better at my work.

Now, as an IOL, refractive, and medical retina consultant and deputy medical director, I’ve given my all to change lives—not just by helping people see better, but by building systems that help healthcare teams grow strong, handling everything from purchases and negotiations to admin and hiring, starting retail pharmacies from scratch, and using tools like Zoho Books, SIS Prosegure, EMR, inventory systems, electronic cash registers, biometric machines, CCTV cameras, and HR automation with Connecteam to make things run smoothly.

Outside medicine, I’m a dreamer who loves music—I’ve run an electronic record label for over 4 years, making beats that light up hearts with freedom and joy, but a failed business in October 2017 broke me, leaving my mind in a storm and my heart heavy with shame. That moment changed everything—guided by a wise mentor, I turned to meditation, which saved me, calming my anger, clearing my mind, and helping me grow into a steadier, stronger person, making better choices that lifted my personal and professional life.

Today, as a content creator, I share my passion for financial independence (FIRE), productivity, and healthy eyes, speaking straight to India’s dreamers on YouTube, Instagram, X (@DrShivamSood), and my WhatsApp Channel, with 100+ Reels coming in October 2025.

Along the way, I met my life partner in 2019, and we welcomed our child in 2022—a joy that made my purpose even clearer. Through meditation and growth, I’ve found my mission: to break the walls holding you back, to start a movement where we rise together, taking back our time, building secure futures, and seeing the world with clear eyes. Join me on this journey—let’s build a free, vibrant life where your freedom becomes our shared story!
