I too possess a story.

He is an unbelievable mixture of aspiration, humility, success, spirituality, expertise, country loving, value driven, super assured and a lot more. Having one such quality for a number people will make us feel proud of ourself. Having all of these in ONE man, was never expected by me, though it was real. Meeting him made me realise, this really is the type of man I was unknowingly hunting my whole life. It would happen to be brilliant to locate him within me. Yet, as a consolation, I located him outside me. I felt blessed.

Before 25 years, his firm has not paid one rupee as bribe nor generated just one rupee as black money. Should you have just about any issues concerning in which along with how to employ thank you for sympathy, it is possible to call us with our own webpage. His group business’s turnover is all about 125 crores. He works in a profit margin of about 40%. For every working hour, he pays an income tax of Rs 50,000/-.

He shares his riches open heartedly, with his workers. In the last 4 years, every worker has a bonus of 100%. It was a privilege to share several hours with him. He is simply unbelievable.

With a wry grin he shared, Before, we too would take shortcuts and save a few hundred here, a thousand there by cheating and other malpractices. One incident changed my life forever. One IT inspector, understood the fudging of our records and filed a case against us. He was utmost tainted. We were relaxed for we believed since he was tainted he could be managed’. He, nevertheless, had other plans in his schedule. The IT officer needed a promotion. For that he needed to file this case to demonstrate his abilities. With sympathy in his voice that tainted officer told me, ordinarily he’d taken something and we would have settled the issue. You see, if he did that he WOn’t get promoted. Once promoted, his share of bribes will go up. Mr. Suresh Hundre was quite mad with the inspector. It turned out to be a burning point.

Mr. Suresh Hundre’s wife was an inactive partner in the company. Even she had to be there in the court when the hearing was on. She was innocent in truth although not in the eyes of law. This burning point became his turning point. He felt a deep sense of shame and vowed to make corrections.

He decided, he’ll face any challenge, but he will never pay a single paise as bribe and he’ll never create just one rupee as black money.

While many people would have gone through this form of humiliation, we would have chosen an easy route out. For a few minutes our conscience would have troubled us, shortly it would be conveniently forgotten. It might have stayed as a burning point.

Till today all of us wanted to believe, in our beloved India, doing business without corruption is impossible. We wanted to believe, in our beloved India, becoming successful without corruption is hopeless. We desired to believe Truthfulness is no more the BEST policy’.

All of us were exposed. Our dependence on a life of convenience and never a life of principles was exposed.

Having a nostalgic look in his eyes, Mr Suresh Hundre said, It is not simple. It’s been very very difficult. However, it continues to be WORTH IT. And he beamed a smile at all people.

It ended up being a moment that will always be etched in my head. That grin! It wasn’t a smile of conceit. It was not a grin that challenged you. It was a smile full of encouragement. It ended up being a grin that the grandfather has when he shares a naughty childhood secret along with his grandchildren and also the grandchildren are a little scandalized but in complete awe of the grandfather. Ahaaa! To be there in those seconds was absolute ecstasy.

Mr. Suresh Hundre said, I do not ask any one to follow my course. For, this path is challenging. Walking on this particular trail is unable to be pushed. It must come from a very deep want. All that I request is, stop saying it’s not possible. Begin saying, IT WILL BE POTENTIAL.

When we bid good-bye to Mr. Hundre, I read the back decal on his Reva, Just a drop in the ocean. Yes truly a drop in the ocean. However, not merely’ a drop. He is the drop that becomes the pearl. He is that pearl that is the rarest and also the most prized.

Thank you Mr Suresh Hundre. You’ve got inspired all 18 of us. My darling reader buddies, I consider, through this story’ you also must have been inspired. It is Possible !!!

With lots of love, prayers and best wishes,
