Meet the Visionary
Shivam Batra, 18
Founder, SteeringWear
SteeringWear was not built in a boardroom.
It did not begin with investors, capital, or a grand launch.
It began with responsibility.
I grew up inside a family-run bakery that has stood strong for over 50 years.
There, I learned the fundamentals that business schools try to teach with slides:
• Wake up early.
• Deliver consistently.
• Keep your word.
• Let the work speak.
So when I started my first T-shirt venture, it wasn’t to chase trends.
It was to build something with the same spine I was raised with:
earn trust, then protect it.
SteeringWear was not planned.
It unfolded — because teams and companies needed someone who understood what it means to represent identity with dignity.
Today, that has become our purpose.
THE SHIFT: FROM A SMALL IDEA TO A COMPANY WITH WEIGHT
SteeringWear began as a T-shirt brand.
We tested, stumbled, improved, and kept going.
Slowly, companies and creators approached us — not because we were the biggest, but because we listened, solved, and delivered.
Now, we create merchandise for the teams who build culture.
Not for hype.
Not for vanity.
But for belonging.
Our work is simple:
• Quality that holds.
• Logistics that don’t break.
• Pricing that respects everyone’s time and effort.
• Partnerships built on clarity and calm professionalism.
We are not a vendor.
We are the silent operational backbone that keeps your merchandise line steady, scalable, and respected.
ROOTS THAT MAKE US TRUSTWORTHY
When people ask:
“Can an 18-year-old handle sch large-scale merchandise fulfillment?”
I say:
Come see the bakery.
See my parents who have shown up every day, before sunrise, for decades.
See the work ethic I inherited — not taught, but witnessed.
Trust is not about age.
Trust is about lineage of discipline.
