We are aware of your achievements and success within a short span of time, talk us through your background and journey so far;
So when I was in primary class, my parents started a new business and I was seeing them going through hardships, that time I decided, I will start my business and from that moment in my life, I had a positive mindset towards Success and money as my only goal after seeing my parents’ sacrifices, struggle and hardships. I wanted to be very successful and wealthy to make my parents very proud and give them all the comfort in the world.
I was always interested in the media and technology from primary class of my school days. As I was good in studies and very much Interested in computer science and designing, so I did a diploma in DESIGN & MEDIA along with my studies in higher secondary. Now I’m currently in 2nd year, pursuing BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY. I turned my passion into my professional career and business. I have made 3 multi – million – dollar successful businesses.
I started my business at the age of 15 in my 10th standard of schooling days. Today I’m 19. The only thing I never lost is consistency, I never lost trust in me because my mom (PRABHA KOTHARI) never lost trust in me. My MOM is my PRICED POSSESSION. I kept going and going. I had times, for months and months I had no business, so tried to innovate ideas and tried the way to change business style. Then I had a boom in my business and I’m here. Never lose hope, keep grinding keep growing.

We have heard that you help the underprivileged and contribute to many NGO’s, share more about it pls;
I believe in philanthropy, donating as I have in abundance so as a responsible entrepreneur, I help others as much as possible. I’ve donated to so many NGOs like MC LEAN, ATMA which is worlds 31 best NGO for mental illness, and Australian bushfire which was very recent and I donated 50 Lakhs for that cause because it was very close to my heart and to Sarayana Jayakumar’s NGO too which is Chennai’s best non – profit organization, to Bal Vihar and many – many more. I feel good when I engage in philanthropic activities.
What is your advice to other aspiring entrepreneurs?
I always recommend others to take high risk because the biggest risk in life is to not take risk. Dream big to always achieve big. Never think negative; always think positive.
Be courageous, be confident and have the attitude of a lion that is why lion is the king of a jungle. Main thing – refuse to lower your standards to accommodate those who refuse to raise theirs.
Never think like a mediocre and always like a rich person, like a billionaire, like a trillionaire. And don’t worry about those who talk behind you, think & be happy they talk behind you because they’re behind us that is why they talk behind us.
Great works, Successful businesses, Magnificent empires etc… are not built or bought in a single day or strength or hurry but by integrity, empathy, kindness, patience, perseverance & courage. Patience is very bitter, but it’s fruit is sweet. No matter what – people will always try to demotivate and criticize you, there are always going to be skeptics. 💪, repay them by Proving them wrong.
