A humble beginning
From Mud Floors to a Dream That Refused to Die
In a small town called Hamirpur, nestled in the hills of Himachal Pradesh, I was born into a life of scarcity. We lived in a mudhouse built by my grandfather—a house filled with love but devoid of the comforts most people take for granted.
When it rained, water would seep through the walls, leaving us scrambling with buckets to stop the floor from flooding. There was no space for dreams in that house, only survival. I watched my father pour every rupee of his salary into rent and food, leaving nothing for himself. My mother sacrificed her own desires so that my siblings and I could have a chance at a better life.
At just 14, I made a promise to myself. I didn’t want to just survive. I wanted to rewrite our story—a story where my parents’ sacrifices wouldn’t be in vain. That promise became my life’s purpose.
“Somewhere in the cracks of a broken home, I planted the seeds of an unbreakable dream.”

“Somewhere in the cracks of a broken home, I planted the seeds of an unbreakable dream.”
At 14, while others my age played cricket or dreamed of simpler things, I dared to dream of something extraordinary. I didn’t have money, guidance, or resources—just a fire inside me that wouldn’t go out. My first venture failed miserably. So did the second. And the third. By 19, I had faced seven crushing failures. Seven heartbreaks. Seven moments where I questioned if I was meant for this path.
Every failure was like a wound that cut deeper than the last. Friends mocked me, relatives whispered behind my back, and even I began to doubt myself. “Was I foolish to believe I could rise above my circumstances? Was I chasing a dream that wasn’t mine to achieve?”
Nights felt endless. I cried in silence, carrying the weight of my failures like a boulder on my chest. But somewhere, in the depths of that despair, a voice inside me refused to quit. Every heartbreak, every sleepless night, every tear had a purpose. My failures weren’t signs of defeat; they were the universe preparing me for something greater. Each one whispered pain, but together they roared: You’re closer to victory than you’ve ever been.
“Failure doesn’t whisper that you’ve lost; it screams that you’re closer than ever to victory.”
The Journey Begins: Seven Failures, Seven Lessons
The First Victory: Be Personified
At 19, after seven devastating failures, I launched my eighth venture—Be Personified. I had no money, no resources, and no guarantees. Just a relentless fire to prove to myself—and the world—that I wasn’t finished.
With nothing but an old laptop and a dream, I created a YouTube channel offering courses for ₹299. It started small, but slowly, students began to join. Tens turned into hundreds, and hundreds into thousands. For the first time, the impossible began to feel real.
By 2021, Be Personified was no longer just a channel—it had become a multi-crore brand, changing the lives of thousands of students. I led a team of 45 people, but more importantly, I fulfilled the promise I made as a 14-year-old boy sitting in a mudhouse, dreaming of something better.
The day I took my mother to our new three-story office, she stood silently for a moment before tears filled her eyes. “You did it,” she whispered. In that moment, every failure, every sleepless night, every ounce of pain—it all felt worth it. Her pride became my victory. And for the first time, I believed it too: I did it.
“Victory isn’t just what you achieve; it’s the tears in your mother’s eyes when she sees what you’ve become.”

The Fall: Losing Everything

Rising From Ashes: Forging a Legacy
“The ashes of failure hold the blueprint of your greatest triumph.”

Rising From Ashes: Forging a Legacy
Today, even though I’ve built multiple brands, generated millions in revenue, and helped thousands of businesses thrive, I never forget where I began. I was a 14-year-old kid with big dreams but no money, who failed seven startups, accumulated ₹2 crore in debt, and faced humiliation I thought I’d never recover from. My only goal was to change my family’s story.
I hope my journey reminds others that no matter how deep the fall, there’s always a way to rise. There are no excuses—only the strength you find when you refuse to give up.
The darkest moments are not the end of your story—they are the foundation of your rise.
