Born on the east coast of South Africa, Yashivan moved up to Johannesburg in early 2005 to kick start a company called FirstStep.me (www.firststep.me) which he developed in his final year of university in 2004. From South Africa, Dubai, Singapore, Europe and Australasia, the FirstStep.me brand has become more than just a business but an adventure.
