As an Indian immigrant with a large extended family of entrepreneurs, Pallavi Agarwal was raised to value the entrepreneurial spirit. Destined to be a self-starter and open doors for others, she carried that spirit with her as she entered the workforce after college and into consulting. In her initial post-grad years, Pallavi was able to grow and further expand her skillset, learn new technologies, and build experience in various industries. However, she always remained focused on starting her own business. When she was first introduced to Salesforce, everything clicked.

The Salesforce ecosystem presents a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to launch businesses. With a platform that anyone can build consultancies and supportive applications alongside, Pallavi saw the chance to continue to stretch her consulting skills as the foundation for the vision of her future company. And with Salesforce’s customer prioritization also aligned with her own values, she had the confidence she needed. When she landed her first client, Pallavi took that big first step in becoming a small business owner.
