Ghazal Alagh: "Aapne loan lene ki koshish kyu nahi ki kabhi?"

Jugadu Kamlesh who had founded KG Agrotech along with his cousin Naru got trained at LensKart Academy.
He is now helping small-scale farmers with his innovative technologies. Here's a glimpse of the same:
He has even his story of success and struggles in a video for Josh Talks. Did you know he wanted to work for Indian army and also wanted to be an actor?
"Log bolte the ki ye acting achi karta hai to mai khud ko actor samajhne laga... Main nikal pada Bombay. Mai ek relative ke paas raha. Dusre din unhone mera bag phenk diya." He then went to his friend and stayed with him. Kamlesh was often rejected during the auditions because of his clothes, background and his lack of acting skills.
He was even scammed in the name of a job. He even tried to end his life twice. Here's Jugadu Kamlesh's story:
He has even won a 'rise startup to unicorn' award.
Peyush Bansal is apparently constantly guiding Kamlesh and Naru.
Sharing what drove him to support Kamlesh, Peyush Bansal had earlier revealed, "I invested in the entrepreneur and if you asked me he is the best among all. He has a vision, confidence and he was vigilant. I was impressed by him because of his positive attitude and even when the sharks denied investing in him, he remained positive and was continuously smiling. He won my heart when he said he won¡¯t leave Naru which shows his humility. I respect Jugaadu Kamlesh as an entrepreneur because ¡®bande me hai dum¡¯."
Not just Peyush, other Sharks are also an inspiration for Jugadu Kamlesh.
The man is so popular that he often gives autographs as well.
Jugad Kamlesh's story is indeed inspiring!
