11. Any remarks you would like to add?

As I approach the twilight of my life, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction.

Rising from humble beginnings to achieve a doctorate was possible due to the scholarships I received. Joining a major multinational company was a significant milestone, offering invaluable management learning experiences.

I played a crucial role in Pranav Agro Ltd., the first company in India to produce poultry feed without fish meal and animal proteins. Despite resistance from major players, our soy-based feed became a leading brand within three years, marking a significant shift in the field of Poultry nutrition.

The use of fish meal in poultry feed became a part of history in the Indian feed Industry.

Starting my own business, based on a unique concept is a proud achievement.

In 2021, we established Noble Life Energy, a new company focused on human medicine. Our homeopathic products have gained significant popularity. The feedback is very encouraging. These products are prescribed by doctors and can be purchased on various e-commerce platforms such as Tata 1mg, Reliance Netmeds, HealthMug, and our own website. Our product range includes a total of 85 complexes and 26 syrups.

My wife and I run a charitable organization named “Prabhu Leela,” supporting the education of girl students from underprivileged backgrounds. We have assisted students in achieving degrees in M.A., Computer Applications, B.Com, etc.

We support 10 to 12 students annually.

Overall, my life has been fulfilling and satisfying.
