Meet our WCT Networking Events July sponsor/speaker Shaku Miriyala owner of My Growth Academy🌸
Shaku Miriyala is a 30-year entrepreneur, business builder, and tech veteran who started her career as a software engineer — working on mission-critical systems at United Airlines and conducting early internet research at the University of Illinois, the birthplace of the Mosaic browser.
Through My Growth Academy (MGA), Shaku has spent nearly 20 years mentoring entrepreneurs and professionals — those already running businesses and those just beginning — across finances, leadership, and business systems. MGA is not a course or a seminar; it is an ongoing mentorship built around accountability, daily habits, and the honest coaching that turns knowing into doing.
Alongside MGA, Shaku also champions longevity and whole-life wellness as pillars of sustainable business success — because the strongest businesses are built by healthy, energized founders.
Today, through her AI services company Opika, Inc., Shaku is on the front lines of helping businesses become AI-ready and AI-visible. You have built your presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube — and that matters. But your customers are increasingly skipping Google and asking ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini: "Who is the best boutique near me?" If your business isn't structured to show up in those answers, you are invisible to a fast-growing category of buyers. On July 9th, Shaku will show you exactly what AI visibility means for local businesses like yours — and the practical steps you can take right now to get there.
