Sometimes, you don’t realise the importance of specific
advice until many years later. I was studying in Motilal Nehru
School of Sports in Haryana. It focused more on extra-curricular
activities than on academics. When I was in class VIII, a
teacher suggested that I join IIT. From that point, it became
my dream to join IIT. Someone suggested that after I completed
class X, I would do well to shift to Delhi Public School in
RK Puram, Delhi. I was comfortable in my school, so moving
was a difficult decision. But, as it turned out, it was a
good move. Had I continued studying there, it would have been
extremely difficult to make it to IIT. As things worked out,
I graduated from IIT and got a job with Schlumberger. They
paid very well and it was while working there that I managed
to save enough for the seed capital of Indiabulls. So, as
you see, the advice to switch schools had a chain reaction.
