I am told that about 800 refugee kids who escaped atrocities in Pakistan and living in Jodhpur and Jaisalmer are suffering from lack of warm clothes this winter I am thinking of driving down to these places in my car to distribute sweaters, gloves, socks, monkey caps to them. Need some help: 1. Educate me on where to buy such stuff in bulk, good quality, right price in Delhi NCR 2. If anyone wants to join me in this journey, or send some stuff for these kids, inbox me

Things I wanted to achieve before I hit 35 1. Financial independence 2. A house in the hills 3. A quiet life with my family 4. Get fit, live a healthy life 5. Win national level championships in Kyokushin karate 6. Backpack around the world for 2 years 7. Work at the grassroots with people on social causes Things that happened to me before I hit 35 1. Avascular necrosis, surgery on both hip joints, had to quit karate 2. Could not walk without a stick 3. Shut down several businesses so I could focus on health and one main business 4. Main business hit by illegal breach of contract 5. Started from scratch, climbing out of a financial hole 6. Developed depression and suicidal thoughts 7. Marriage failed, got divorced 8. Moved away from Goa with one suitcase 9. Became obese, weighed 107 kg with 36% bodyfat at a point 10. I feared I would never run, jump or walk down the stairs without experiencing excruciating pain again 11. Got close to bankruptcy, worked without a salary for months 12. Started building life from scratch 13. Fell in love again but had a heartbreak 14. Developed insulin resistance and became pre diabetic 15. Massive system inflammation detected 16. Did a stupid webinar (out of hundreds of good ones I did), shamed on social media, media articles about what a terrible person I am 17. Activists campaigned on social media to get me to step down as CEO but my team backed me up 18. Got rejected by dozens of VCs because our business didn’t fit into their thesis despite doubling or tripling revenue profitably every year with zero outside capital I am 36 now, here is where I am 1. I can deadlift 100 kg, can just get up & run 10km, I play badminton 4 times a week 2. Down to 15% bodyfat, never been stronger 3. Pre diabetes reversed, inflammation under control 4. I am at peace, absolutely thrilled to be alive 5. Met Lily during the pandemic. We fell in love and started living together. 6. She helped me to solve many of my long standing health issues, I am now healthier than I was 10 years back 7. LawSikho recognised as #1 legal edtech company in the world against 104 competitors 8. Launched Skill Arbitrage and scaled to 1.5 cr revenue per month within 6 months 9. We have bootstrapped profitably to 60 cr+ annual revenue and doubling every year 10. I have incredible cofounders, team and friends 11. I feel happy, excited and optimistic about the life ahead 12. And last evening our DRHP got in principle approval, we are about to go and do an IPO I never gave up on my dreams. And it feels like I am vindicated today. The best is, of course, yet to come. Turns out those motivational speakers were right. Fight for your dreams, consistency & perseverance beats all odds.
