After his garments business stopped during the COVID time, Mayank did not hesitate to rejoin the bank where he had earlier worked. Now he has again started a business and hopes to recover from his COVID time losses soon.

Mayank Joshi is the owner of “Hare Krishna Bags” in Pushkar. He deals in all kinds of bags, especially traditional handwork bags.

Mayank completed all his schooling in Pushkar and then did an MBA from MDS University, Ajmer.

Mayank says earlier he used to work in a bank. Then he started doing an import-export business dealing in silk garments. But after COVID period, he decided to switch businesses. Now, he is doing a business of bags with his friend,  and will very soon launch his business on online platforms.

Remembering his struggles during the COVID period, Mayank says the pandemic pushed him back fifteen-twenty years in his life. But he believes, one should never give up in any situation and always have two or more projects in hand. As he had experience working with banks, he could easily rejoin  his old banking job to survive the difficult phase of COVID. His old customers and friends supported him in making a comeback in the banking field again. After three years of struggle, he again started his business and overcame the difficult phase of his life.

When asked about his role models, Mayank says he considers his grandmother his role model. She used to motivate them by saying that they should never stop, ebbs and flows will come in life, but they should never be afraid of them and should consistently move ahead in life.

In his free time, Mayank likes to serve his Lord Krishna and sing bhajans for him. He feels infinite peace doing that , and his consciousness awakens and reaches a new level.

Mayank suggests that to keep themselves healthy, people must eat a healthy diet. He advises them to have a heavy breakfast, a light lunch, and a lighter dinner. He also suggests including fruits and salads in the diet.

Mayank’s piece of advice for the young generation is that they must know their area of interest. He urges them to convert their passions into their profession, so  that they can enjoy their work and also earn from it.
