FROM AN IMPOVERISHED CHILDHOOD IN A 100 SQUARE FEET TIN-WALLED HOUSE IN INDIA’S LARGEST SLUM TO HOW HE ALMOST GOT KILLED IN A GANG WAR, HOW HE SUCCEEDED IN BUSINESS, THE UNCANNY RESEMBLANCE OF HIS LIFE TO THE BACHCHAN FILM ‘TRISHUL’ TO FINALLY OWNING MULTIPLE SCHOOLS, DR. (ADV.) STANNY PINTO BHARATIYA CONVERSES ABOUT HIS INSPIRING JOURNEY,
As I have grown older and understood the world a little better, I have realised that a lot of success in life is driven by our starting points. As a child, the better starting points we have in terms of money, education and family affluence, the better chance we have of doing well as an adult in the real world. With that in mind, the questions to ask of our guest today are, how does someone who grew up in a 100 square feet house with tin walls in Dharavi, one of India’s largest slums, end up owning multiple schools in the same city? How does someone who spent all his childhood sharing five public toilets with 250 other people think of starting his own university? How come someone with such an impoverished background be ambitious enough to think of setting up 100 educational institutions all over the country?
In a searingly honest conversation with Dr. Stanny Pinto, we conversed about his childhood in the slums of Dharavi, owning a bike before he was legally allowed to drive, his life as a political gangster, how his entire family joined him on his honeymoon and finally, the ingredients required for the secret sauce of material success. Please welcome edupreneur, influencer and life coach, Dr. Stanny Pinto, a man who is not shy to admit that it is his shame as a child that has spurred his success as an adult.
