Gehri Lal Sharma is a businessman who fought poverty to provide a good life for his family. He feels that poverty is a very bad state and no one should experience it in their lifetime.

Gehri Lal Sharma is from Badgaon and has been living there for the past ten years.

He did his education with the help of his maternal uncle. After passing the Matric examination, due to the bad condition of his family, Gehri started doing small jobs. He also joined his maternal uncle who was a contractor.

After that, he started some work in mining which saw huge losses. He recovered from it somehow and then got into the business of Marbles. Gradually, his condition started improving.

Gehri says that seeing his condition, he decided to help others as well. His marble business extended to four states: Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. He created a team of around 600 people and helped in improving their financial condition.

After experiencing a lot of struggles in life and making a good present for his children, Gehri decided to give all his work to his sons and join the retirement club. He came back to Badgaon and started doing recreational agriculture work and other small things to keep himself occupied. He wishes to keep doing some work till his very last breath.

Gehri says that his maternal uncle is his role model. He was the one who took care of his education and taught Gehri all the skills of the field.

Gehri feels that if someone is adamant and does not agree with your view, then we should only try to adjust and not be rigid like that person. Gehri feels that with compassion and love, anything can be achieved.

He advises the young generation to be determined in life and to never give up on their goals. He feels that brave decisions require a brave heart as well.

Gehri likes to spend his free time with friends and family. He likes to go for picnics and outings with his family. He also tries to motivate the youngsters who are going through hard times. Gehri loves listening to the old music of Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar as well.
