ok, strange… But how will he improve the life of other Indians by selling vegetables? He could have done much more by joining industry and then starting from there… when he had power to do much more… See the example of Sudha Murthy, I am her fan…

Yes its very hard to take the path untrodded i have tried it its very hard , myself growing up as an NRI it was very hard & unnerving to continue with life in Bihar…..
………………when it was at its worst in 1996-2004….
when with every passing day u see ur neighbour,friend&relative migrate say reloacte or better said shft in local dialect to Delhi,Banglore,Pune,Kolkata.

I am still trying but its has taken a toll on time health & money its challenging but the other sides re more lucrative & rewarding.Kuasheldra has a IIM tag with him which will take him a long way, he is learning sales techniques from this excercise,but if he really does something like start up a company in bihar is yet to be seen ……..

Since he is an IIM topper, he might be able to get away with it. If we (meaning guys like me) do it, my parents would make me perfect examples to the neibhourhood - “This is why your son should study properly. Otherwise, he would become like mine!”

Jokes apart, how was he able to convince the parents, relatives, friends and the never ending vicious cirlce of well wishers? It really takes guts to do this!

Prem, doing charity means giving crutches to a disabled person. He is trying to make them walk on their own. Its better than charity. And in this process if he become a billionaire, well and good.

Pramod, welcome. I agree with you. Its so comforting to take the beaten path and live a so called “normal” life.

Paradox, you are right. He he using his management skill in selling vegetables too. And when I have written children and wife that means conditioning. In general life we almost always use, “man” can do anything, “HE” who dares to dream… a common “man”…

Ritu, thank you. Hope you can do a story on him, meeting him personally and getting it published in your newspaper.

Picking foreign inspired technologies of weighing machine and AC powers, and using his desi gyan , Kaushal is smart enough to sell to the largest mass. Its not charity, he is doing - but a very smart move for Mega-Micro business.

Though it just sounds like a story of a man who dared to follow his dreams, there is another associated part to it; the innovation and the planning - the air-conditioned cart, the tie-up with hundreds of farmers, the assurance of purity/freshness and reasonable pricing.

Ahem..is there a gender bias in the beginning of your article when you mention, ‘Children and wife’ should match….? Why not ‘Children and husband…’? :o) Both sexes want trophies.
