An Empty Pan with a Million Dreams
Belonging to a very small village in Madhya Pradesh, he has a curious mind and was curious about everything from his childhood. After setting his sights on the 12th standard, Prafull came across a dream of pursuing an MBA from prestigious institutes like IIM. He started pursuing his MBA, but the result wasn’t in his favor. Being from a family with a farming background, he couldn’t bear the MBA fees of private colleges. He had to leave his dream of pursuing an MBA, but he didn’t give up. He started exploring the country from Bengaluru to Chennai & Hyderabad, and finally he reached Ahmedabad, the place where he started his journey of beginning.mba c

If you fail, it doesn’t mean you lost everything. He explained that failure is often the starting point of something new.
