Born in a middle-class family in Gudur, Kurnool district, Andhra Pradesh, on 14 April 2000, Ravi Kumar lost his mother to cancer when he was 12.
His father was in significant financial trouble for spending a considerable amount of money on the treatment of his mother. However, he and his sister were moved from private to public school, and their father took on many jobs to bring stability. After 10th grade, he wanted to enter the Diploma in Agriculture and urged his father to enrol in 2016.
“It was a special moment in my life to receive this award as Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2023, It gives me more responsibility to achieve more, innovate more and invest in various ideas of Young Fellow Entrepreneurs, and I would like to Show Gratitude to my Father who was a Key pillar and all my Investors for having trust in RK’s Inno Group,” said Ravi Kumar Sagar. “When I was 17, I had many thoughts about different businesses, and I used to talk to my friends about the same, and I used to think of doing something big in business after completing my college studies”.
Peer pressure forced him to lose focus and join them for chilling. Thus the parent’s pocket money needed to be more. He joined other boys in college cricket betting. Initially, it was all fine, and he got Rs.2000 to 3000/-, but soon after, he started losing and got into debt of Rs.10,000/-, which he owed to his fellow peer group, who was also his childhood friends. When those boys forced him to pay back that money with a threat that they would inform his father, Ravi said, “for that tender teenage that felt like the end of the road for me, I was scared to inform my father, didn’t know what to do, I decided Before having them, I wanted to confide in a friend, so I called her and explained everything. She added, “Please be alive till I come to college tomorrow morning, don’t hurt yourself until then,” and she accepted a promise. The next morning she came to campus and asked me how to terminate my life for Rs.10,000/- debt. You can borrow from 2 other sites temporarily, but why? Is it fair to yourself or your father, who raised you with love and struggle? Reduce your spending now and earn well after you graduate, and she helped me repay them. Ravi said excellent friends preserve life but avoid bad ones. I realized suicide isn’t the answer. The life-or-death situation for the 10k made me want to make money, and here I am at 21 as a “YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR -2021” winner.
