Childhood
I am from Hisar, Haryana. My father passed away when I was just seven years old. Since then, I knew that I had to do something big. During my childhood, we stayed in a small house and both my parents used to work. In government service, when a person passes away, any one person from the family gets that job. The same happened with us, and my elder sister took up my father’s job after he passed on, since I wanted to do something else. Eventually, after I completed my engineering, I decided to start my own business venture.
Family
My mother supported me a lot. She took on the responsibility of raising the four of us all by herself after our father’s demise. Teaching us, sending us to school and college, bringing all of us to a certain level, —everything was on her shoulders alone. My younger brother is an IIT engineer and is in the USA now. He has also inspired me a lot. At times, he asks me certain questions that directly or indirectly enhance my knowledge and vastly help in my personal improvement.
