Surendra says that he loves teaching, and while he was pursuing his BA, he started teaching nursery students. After completing his BA, he became the headmaster of Subharti School, which was started by his father. He finds himself very fortunate as he teaches students from the lower class to the upper class.

Talking about his hardships, Surendra says that he faced many ups and downs in his journey, as he used to walk kilometers to execute his studies. Then, when he was in NCC, he used to walk wearing heavy boots. Initially, his father suggested that he join a school to teach students. Surendra studied and taught students simultaneously until his MA. His wife supported him a lot throughout his journey.

While comparing education and experience, Surendra says that both are two sides of the same coin. Education provides the basic knowledge, and experience is the means to put it into practice.

Surendra feels that leadership comes from experience. He says that if a person is confused about what to do next in life, he can get suggestions from experienced people in that field. Leadership is an important factor that a teacher must have so that he can tackle the problems of his students and solve them in a better way.

Surendra’s role models are his mother, father, and grandfather, as he learned a lot from them. He also admires Swami Vivekananda, as he inspires him.

According to Surendra, Swaadhyay, Sanskriti, Sanskar, and Sewa are the four major factors that help make a good human being. He further says that if anyone condemns you, don't mind it and move ahead. He believes that dedication is the key factor behind success in any field. He further says that through good company, we can achieve anything. Friendship must be done with better people. He says that it's very important to develop mental and physical behaviour in a better way. Shrawan, Manan, and Nridhyanan help develop one's mental and internal behaviour.

In his spare time, Surendra likes to listen to sports commentaries and songs on the radio. He is also fond of recording Sanskrit slokas.

Surendra wants to thank the media and technology, as they have unlimited benefits if they are used positively to improve skills.
