About Shyam

Early life

Shyam Nair was born in 1971 in Methukummal, a village in Tamil Nadu, India. His parents were highly educated and had a deep interest in ancient Vedic philosophy. Both had learned the basics of Vedic astrology. Shyam's maternal grandfather, Brahma Sree Madhavan Pillai Swami, was a well-known saint in and around Thiruvananthapuram.

​

How it began

In 1983, a well-known astrologer visited Shyam's house. Shyam, then 12 years old, was curious to see what the astrologer would do. He was amazed by some of the predictions, and many of them came true. This sparked his curiosity, and he started learning astrology.

​

At 12, he began collecting the birth details of his family members and calculating their horoscopes by hand. He made several predictions for them, but no one took him seriously as an astrologer. Then, in 1986, his uncle received a transfer letter, just as Shyam had predicted. Everyone was surprised. That was the beginning of Shyam's life as an astrologer.

​

Since then, he has continued learning, researching and practicing Vedic astrology, and he uses his knowledge to help people in their lives.

Education and career

​Apart from astrology, Shyam earned a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering from the College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram, and an MBA from the University of Washington, Seattle. He is now retired after a long career in executive roles at Fortune 50 companies.
