ABOUT ME
Michelle Shyam is an architect by profession and runs an architecture & design consultancy firm with her husband, Shyam in Chennai, south India. She graduated from the School of Architecture & Planning at Anna University, one of Tamil Nadu's premier institutions. Her entrepreneurial skills led her to start her own firm while in her last year of college.
​
She worked a few years in Doha, Qatar before moving back to India and joining the ed-tech space, applying all her creative and problem-solving skills. She completed her Executive Masters in Business Administration with a specialization in Strategy Management.
​
Michelle underwent a complete 40kg weight loss transformation after having 3 kids, when she adopted an animal-based diet. Convinced that this diet and lifestyle is the answer to most lifestyle diseases, she furthered her education with many certification courses and diplomas, so that her knowledge could help others make dietary change possible.
​
Michelle has an Advanced Diploma in Fitness, a Diploma in Sports Nutrition and a Diploma in Nutrition from Fab Academy Inc, USA. She is also a certified Keto Diet Coach and has completed a certification in Intermittent Fasting.
