He is a “useless” baby without eyes; being born blind is a sin, others added. Twenty-three years later, Srikanth is standing tall living by his conviction that if the “world looks at me and says, ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing,’ I look back at the world and say, I can do anything.”
Srikanth is the Founder and CEO of Hyderabad-based Bollant Industries, an organisation that employs uneducated and challenged employees to manufacture eco-friendly, disposable consumer packaging solutions, which is worth Rs. 50 crore. He considers himself the luckiest man alive, not because he is now a millionaire, but because his uneducated parents, who earned Rs. 20,000 a year, did not heed any of the ‘advice’ they received and raised him with love and affection. They are the richest people I know, says Srikanth.
