One of a Kind

Often, tragic experiences lead people to raise their voice or start initiatives to help others suffering from similar situations. But there was no misery or disaster for Rushabh Turakhia. It was only the sheer willingness to spread smiles and happiness that led him to start the ‘Your Turn Now’ movement—help someone, give them a YTN card, and, in return, ask them to pass on the help any way they can along with the card. Having grown up listening to moral stories from his grandmother and mother, and reading multiple self-help books, Rushabh, in his own words, was highly self-aware. He was inspired by the anecdotes his family and friends recalled about his grandfather, Shri Panachand Turakhia, a philanthropist. In a candid conversation with Annesha Banerjee he reveals how everything manifested itself and marvels at how a seemingly basic idea has now created a snowball effect.
