With determination, innovation and a hand that never withdraws to those in need, I am Pranav Raj Regmi, a social work student, board member at AYON and president at Yatra. I did my schooling from V. S Niketan school, completed my plus two in science from Xavier International and as every other science student aspires, went off for engineering in India. After three years of trying to cope up with engineering, I returned abandoning it. Well, my journey from that Pranav to this Pranav I am today hasn’t been at ease. However, I always believed that ‘hard work can make miracles happen’ and this is what kept me going. From convincing my parents, hearing of criticism and sarcastic comments from people to building up the years I lost, life has never been a bed of roses since then. After a few months, I joined BASW at K&K International College, thinking of starting all over again. Nevertheless, things did not work as to my expectations. I tried earning but the stress didn’t serve me quite well. I tried every way possible to manage my physical, financial and emotional condition but the odds were never in my favor. Hence I gave up on trying new occupations every day and started focusing on my studies.
On 2016, I started working as a trainee at Ayon. I am very much determined when it comes to working and this is why I got elected as a board member. Later I took over Yatra. Though these were and are the grand steps of my life, handling them alongside studies has not been a lap of luxury. Managing time has been a challenge lately, but this faith I have in a better tomorrow makes me forge ahead and brings out the best in me every day.
I am the entrepreneur of my life and this is a part of my story. I still look up at a bit longer journey, a few hurdles of struggle, a number of downfalls and then a little higher I see the successful me.
The only advice I have for youths like me in today’s world is, get out of your comfort zone, taste your very first failure, get prepared to lose a few riches of your life, experience the adventure of uncertainty and never forget to believe in your hardship because trust me when I say, that is what pays you off in life.
