This is the story of Utsav Mishra I have known him for a decade now. Met him first at the campus of IRMA, where he fit every description of the classic senior from the hostel block - always beaming with confidence, leading from the front in all competitive activities, doing the pep talk every now and then and just being there - ready to bail you out from tough spots. Down the line, I don’t think he has changed a lot. When I saw him sometime back deliver his Ted Talk, he was pretty much the same. An inspiration to those around him. There’s one key difference with his school of motivation though - he keeps it very very simple and practical. As you listen to his life story, I am sure you will also realise the sublime power of simplicity and keeping it matter of fact.
