A Small-Town Boy With Big Dreams
I was born and raised in a lower-middle-class family in a small town in India. Like many middle-class families, life revolved around survival, responsibilities, education, and the hope of building a secure future.
The path seemed simple: study hard, get a stable job, work hard, and live a safe life. I followed that path. I pursued engineering and entered the construction and corporate world believing success would eventually come through hard work alone.
But deep inside, something always felt incomplete. Even while working tirelessly every day, I constantly felt there had to be more to life than stress, pressure, and survival. Those questions would eventually change the course of my entire life.
