Naresh Sharma is the owner of Gourav Pan Bhandar in Sultanpur.

Naresh Sharma is from Sultanpur city in Uttar Pradesh. He did his schooling from Sultanpur itself. Naresh used to take part in almost all the co-curricular activities and sports in his school time. After passing eleventh grade, he began assisting his father in running his Pan shop.

His shop is at the Sultanpur bus station and Naresh says that it is a very profitable business. Initially his father used to run the shop but now all three brothers, including Naresh, run the business and have worked with full dedication to take the business to new heights.

During the lockdown period, his business took a huge blow. Naresh lives in a joint family and thus it became even more difficult to provide enough for the family. But he managed somehow and held on till the crisis passed.

Naresh is of the opinion that, to run a successful business, you have to be tactful, have good knowledge of what you are doing and keep gaining experience along the way.

Naresh believes that service to humanity is service to God. He says that, to develop as a society, we will have to uplift people upto the last man standing, and take everyone with us in our journey towards a progressive society.

Naresh considers education, experience and social effectiveness altogether to be the essential qualities for a good life.

Naresh regards the Speaker of the Lok Sabha - Mr. Om Birla to be his role model. He says that Om Birla is a self made man and has reached the top with his hard work and talent despite all the challenges, and this inspires him the most.
