Risking to rise – a success story - Indian Journal of Training and Development - 52(4), Oct-Dec, 2022: p.79-82

BACKGROUND Sarvesh Kohli, son of a renowned ENT surgeon Dr. Sahil Kohli and MridulaKohli, a postgraduate in Hindi Literature, of Bhopal (Central India) was the youngest of three children. The eldest was his sister who was a Ph.D. in English literature while his elder brother was also an ENT surgeon. Sarvesh did not opt for campus placement on completing his B.Tech from IIT Mumbai in 1996. Though he had appeared in the Common Admission Test (CAT) for admission in one of the leading B-schools of the country, he chose not to join even after receiving the final call. He decided to return back to his native place at Nagpur to start a centre for imparting quality training to prepare the students for entrance examinations of various B-schools in the country. He was quite conscious of the fact that he was risking a promising career, yet he was determined to go ahead with his venture. When his parents came to know about his decision, they were not in agreement with him. The disagreement even went up to the extent that ultimately his parents gave up and left him to his fate.- Reproduced
