What are you doing professionally now?

I am a builder and running my business of imported grocery supplies. As I am working 7 days a week so I stay quite busy. My routine starts with going to the construction site followed by working in my store till evening.

Tell us about your school life.

School life has been amazing. From the year 1999 to 2013 I spent 14 years at Apeejay School. I still remember entering the school gate as a four-year-old and transforming into a well-educated person while leaving as an 18-year-old. My school has taught me a lot and I am thankful to each member of my school’s journey.

Share a few nostalgic memories from Apeejay.

My farewell in class XII was the moment when reality hit and you realise that the school days were over now and this part of life was finally complete.

How were the teachers at Apeejay?

I would give 10/10 to teachers here starting from nursery to class XII. Almost every teacher was highly cooperative and understanding. I can’t remember if any teacher denied me any support ever. They were always there to help me in all possible ways.

What are your goals?

My goal in life is to travel this world as much as I can.

Any message for the students of the school.

School days are the most cherished time in your life which you will only realise after leaving. It is very important to follow each instruction given by the school teachers because it will help you hone and grow your personality and knowledge.

What is your life mantra?

Do not waste too much in planning a better future that you start losing out on your present.

How did Apeejay help you hone your skills?

School is the primary stage of how to make your life ahead. Since I was very clear from class XI onwards that I would be doing business in the future, I started working accordingly and planned my life wisely.
