From business tycoons to social crusaders, they all carry with them stories that tell them what to achieve against all odds.

Visionary Entrepreneur: Dhirubhai Ambani

He broke conventional norms and, through sheer hard work, persistence, and determination, rose to become one of the most iconic business tycoons in India and across the world. Born in a small town in Gujarat in 1932, Ambani belonged to a modest family with very limited means. He was not an academically brilliant student but had a gift for understanding the nuances of businesses and displaying astute marketing capabilities.

Trailblazing Industrialist: Ratan Tata

We all must try to lead with a vision that doesn’t just end at earning profits but also in making a positive impact on society.

Social Reformer: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s life is a shining example of the triumph of determination over social stigma and disadvantage. Born to an ‘untouchable’ Dalit family, he faced discrimination and deprivation from early on in his life. However, through sheer tenacity and single-mindedness of purpose, he pursued education with unbridled zeal, securing multiple academic degrees; law, economics, and political science being some of them. A lawyer-economist by profession and a social reformer by call, B.R. Ambedkar was instrumental in drafting India’s Constitution post-independence which also sought to level the field for disadvantaged sections of society who had historically faced marginalization and were seen as outcasts. The extraordinary story of this indomitable son of India not only instructs us on the importance of education but also on issues such as activism &vocal leadership against entrenched social inequalities.

Champion of Rural Development: Verghese Kurien

Verghese Kurien, famously known as the “Father of the White Revolution” in India, played a crucial role in transforming India’s dairy industry through his brainchild project Operation Flood. As a result of his relentless efforts, India became the largest milk-producing country in the world and millions of rural farmers were given new hope for a better future. His story entails some significant lessons on how visionary leadership coupled with on-ground development and community participation should be the driving force behind all our initiatives. His journey continues to motivate us to work towards creating an equal world and at working towards realizing what can be achieved through collective aspirations.
