Life Story

The Journey fromDreams to Dharma

Understanding the man behind the mission - how personal experiences shaped a vision for transforming rural Bihar through education and cultural values.

Personal Philosophy

"I realized that true success isn't measured by the height of corporate ladders we climb, but by the depth of positive impact we create in our communities. Bihar gave me everything - my values, my identity, my purpose. It was time to give back."

"जहाँ से आए हैं, वहीं वापस जाकर सेवा करना ही सच्ची सफलता है"

"True success lies in returning to serve where we came from"

Core Beliefs

Education as Liberation

Quality education is the most powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty and empowering communities.

Cultural Rootedness

Modern progress must be built on the foundation of our cultural values and traditional wisdom.

Holistic Development

True education encompasses intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual growth of individuals.

Community First

Individual success is meaningful only when it contributes to the collective welfare of society.

Life Phases

Early Life (1995-2013)

Roots in Rural Bihar

Born and raised in a middle-class family in Bihar, Mukund witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by rural communities - limited educational opportunities, migration for work, and gradual erosion of cultural values.

Decision to Return

After graduation, while his peers pursued corporate careers, Mukund felt a deep calling to return to Bihar. The contrast between urban opportunities and rural struggles ignited his determination to bridge this gap through education.

Chose service over corporate career
Recognized education as key to change
Committed to rural development

The Turning Point

"During my final year at IIT Delhi, I was teaching a young boy named Ravi in a Delhi slum. Despite his intelligence and eagerness to learn, he had to drop out to support his family. That night, I couldn't sleep. I realized that for every Ravi in Delhi, there were hundreds in Bihar who never even got the chance he had. That's when I knew my path was clear."

"हर बच्चे का सपना पूरा करना ही हमारा धर्म है"

"Fulfilling every child's dream is our dharma"

"Both the good (Shreyas) and the pleasant (Preyas) approach a person.
The wise one, having examined both, discriminates.
The wise one chooses the good over the pleasant.
The fool, in order to acquire and preserve, chooses the pleasant."
