In 2004, I scored just 69% in Class 10, and in 2006, 72.5% in Class 12. Not exceptional. Not top of the class. Just average.
I come from a family where education wasn’t a priority. No one spoke about careers or future goals. There was no mentor, no roadmap—just a burning desire to break barriers and create something bigger for myself.
People doubted me. Some laughed at the idea that I could become a Chartered Accountant. But I didn’t let their doubts define me. I chose belief over fear. I chose to fight.
The journey was anything but easy—long nights, endless hard work, financial struggles, failures that shook me, and moments where giving up felt like the only option. But through it all, one thing kept me going: unshakable faith in myself.
Your marks are just a number. They do not define your dreams.
Your mindset, your resilience, and your hunger to rise—that’s what shapes your future.
So if your scores didn’t meet expectations, don’t lose heart.
Dream fiercely. Work relentlessly. Rise anyway.
Because if I can do it, so can you
