Inspiring Success Stories Of 7 Indian Men


You can’t hope to succeed unless you have tasted defeat. No one has proved it better than these individuals 

1) Mahatma Gandhi

His is perhaps the most inspirational tale. Originally a barrister by profession, he was not a strong lawyer – he was unable to cross-question his witnesses. After spending some time drafting litigation letters, he went to South Africa where he developed his political skills. It was not a cake-walk for him even there and his Satyagraha movement was fraught with difficulties even in India. 


2) Amitabh Bachchan

A blockbuster performer at the Bollywood box-office, Amitabh Bachchan’s career tanked along with his production house, Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited (ABCL). His meteoric rise and quick downfall is a true Bollywood tale within Bollywood. Even though he was bankrupt he did not give up but continued to fight. It was at this crucial juncture that his career took a 360-degree turn with the arrival of the KBC series in India and slowly, he once again rose to the top. Big B truly proved that nothing, not even a simple desi hair oil advert is “beneath” you. In any profession respect is earned by your skills and your attitude.


3) Ratan Tata

When Ratan Tata became chairman of Tata group in 1991, he had a mammoth task set before him. His futuristic views and liberal attitude did not go well with some of the top honchos, which resulted in a tussle at the management level. At the start of his career as chairman, two companies under him faced bankruptcy. He worked hard to turn the situation around. Despite the many failures he has seen, Tata Nano being the latest, Ratan Tata did not give up and continues to be a global figure.


4) Dhirubhai Ambani

Who doesn’t know the name Reliance today? But do you know, that Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance was perhaps controversy’s favourite child? Ambani had a humble beginning – he was not from an affluent background. He moved to Yemen when he was 16, where he worked as a clerk. However, he was aware that he had to follow his calling – risking everything, he returned to India to set up his business with his close friend. Though Champaklal Damani differed from Ambani in his views and decided to split ways, Ambani did not give up hope and continued his trade, deciding to even enter the stock market. His stock market dealings and success have often been questioned but the man rose to power through sheer grit and determination.


5) Shiv Khera

A writer of motivational books, he perhaps needed his words the most when he was accused of plagiarism. Post the launch of one of his books, ‘Freedom is Not Free’, Shiv Khera was accused by a retired civil servant, Amrit Lal, of plagiarism. While Khera was dragged to court, he did not give up and continued his writings. He even defended his writings saying he read a lot of books and researched before writing. Some of that research stayed with him. A pretty lame excuse but despite the court case and the out-of-court settlement, he bounced back and his books continue to be motivational best-sellers. 


6) Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Born to a humble family in UP, Nawazuddin first worked as a chemist in a petrochemical company. Wanting something more interesting, he moved to Delhi only to be a watchman. He developed an interest in theatre in Delhi and moved to Mumbai to try his luck in movies. However, like every struggler, he did not get any good job or a meaty role and kept appearing in small roles. He resorted to conducting acting workshops to earn some money. He got his break when he was noticed as a reporter in Peepli Live – and there has been no looking back for him since then!


7 ) Narendra Modi

A humble chai vendor is India’s prime minister of the world’s largest democracy. Does success need any other definition? When Modi took on the reigns of Gujarat as chief minister from Keshubhai Patel, his rise was met with opposition from many quarters. Modi’s lack of experience was one of the major concerns. However, he stood his ground and became Gujarat’s CM. As the CM, he veered from RSS’ ideologies and supported privatisation and a small government. Perhaps his true test came in the form of the Godhra violence. While many still blame him for the riots, his name was cleared and he went on to become one of the most powerful men in the country.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner.

We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN).
