From earning just Rs 400 a month in a small factory to building multiple businesses across India and abroad, one man’s incredible rise has left the internet deeply inspired. His daughter recently shared his journey on Reddit, calling him her biggest source of pride. What started as a post about gratitude quickly turned into a powerful story of resilience, ambition, and a reminder that humble beginnings don’t define how far you can go.
Her father grew up in a lower-middle-class family, where money was always tight and opportunities were rare. With four sisters and only one earning member—his father—life was a daily struggle. They didn’t even own a vehicle; his grandfather cycled to work every day to make ends meet. Studies weren’t his strong suit either, and financial troubles eventually forced him to drop out of college before completing his degree.
Still, he refused to give up. Determined to support his family, he took a job at a local factory, earning just Rs 400 a month. His work involved basic accounting and maintaining records, but that small step marked the beginning of something much bigger. After a few years, he found a job at a relative’s factory, where he gained experience and learned the ropes of running a business—until that factory shut down.
That setback became his turning point. Instead of returning to a regular job, he decided to take a risk and start his own business. Over the years, he built multiple ventures across India, expanded internationally, and even entered real estate. Today, he owns acres of land and runs several successful enterprises. His daughter, who shared this story online, said she’s proud to be his daughter and is constantly inspired by his journey from hardship to success. For her, he’s not just a self-made man—he’s living proof that perseverance, grit, and belief can change the course of an entire family’s destiny.

Several users responded with their own stories, sharing how their fathers inspired them too. One mentioned that her father, who holds a PhD in social work and a master’s in psychology, works at an NGO fighting AIDS—his dedication even pushed her toward a career in science. Another user said her father had a similar journey, losing his dad at just five and growing up in poverty before becoming the CEO of a major company. She added that despite her own struggles, her father’s support never wavered.
