FROM HUMBLE
BEGINNINGS

1996 — The Beginning

Korba, Chhattisgarh

I was born in 1996, in Korba — a small industrial town in central India, known for its simplicity, not its startups.

Growing up there taught me values that no business school ever could: humility, patience, and the power of persistence.

Even as a child, I believed one simple thing. Where you start does not decide where you end up. What matters is how willing you are to climb, even when the path is unclear.

2010–2014 — Lessons Beyond the Classroom

Chhattisgarh Boarding School

My teenage years were spent at a boarding school in Bhilai. Living away from home at that age was not easy, but it was necessary.

Those years taught me independence, discipline, and responsibility long before adulthood arrived. I learned how to live with people, lead teams, build friendships, and show up consistently.

More than anything, boarding school gave me self-belief. It taught me that discomfort is often the price of growth, and resilience is built one ordinary day at a time.

2015–2018 — The Bombay Chapter

Jai Hind College, Mumbai

In 2015, I moved to Mumbai, a city that runs on ambition and never slows down.

At Jai Hind College, I studied Marketing, but the real education came from the city itself. Mumbai taught me competition, scale, and the importance of standing out in a crowded world. It pushed me to think bigger and move faster.
