Anand Mahindra applauds man who lost his parents at 11 but 'did not lose hope'
Anand Mahindra dedicated his post to laud Govind, who lost post his parents to TB at the age of 11 but is now on track to become a self-sustainable man.
Chairman of Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra dedicated his recent post to laud Govind, who lost both his parents to TB at the age of 11 but grew up against all odds to become self-sustainable. According to the Nandi Foundation post shared by Indian billionaire, Govind was forced to work at the tender age until he was taken by a child welfare organisation. Slowly, he got enrolled in a school and then to Mahindra Pride School in Chandigarh, which is run by Nandi Foundation.
Govind was trained in Retail Sales and after years of hardships, he has now secured a place at a renowned apparel store. Now the “inspiring man” is saving up money to rent a house not only for himself but also for his siblings who are in an orphanage. Govind’s story of ‘perseverance and courage’ was not only hailed by Anand Mahindra but also thousands of internet users.
‘Did not lose hope’
The post which has received over three thousand likes is also being widely shared on social media. Netizens are lauding Govind for ‘not losing hope’ and fought to make his life turn around without dwelling on the hardships. While some people said that ‘brightest minds are born in most difficult times’ others also praised Mahindra for helping people in their success. Several Twitter users lauded Mahindra’s role in Govind’s success story and hailed ‘humanity’.
