They didn’t have much finances at that time and arranged it from different sources to invest in this school. Mayank says that he and his brother used to stick posters in the night for promotions.

Mayank says that the credit for his success goes to his parents and his brother. He feels that we should always respect our family and should try to keep them happy.

Talking about his ideals, Mayank shares that his family is his inspiration and he has learned a lot from them. His role models are Swami Vivekananda and Bhagat Singh because of the work they did for the youth of our country.

The only message he wants to give the youth is to choose a field that interests them and do as much hard work as possible to excel in that field.
