Nilesh set up an optician's shop after
completing Class 10 from Isha Vidhya,
Nagercoil. Although he did well in his
studies – he scored 93%, he was more
inclined to set up his business instead
of pursuing higher studies. But before
taking the plunge, Nilesh interned with
his father, who runs a car accessories
business, and also worked at an
optician's shop where his father worked
in order to learn the ropes of the game.
Nilesh is a first-generation school-goer
who studied on a scholarship. He credits
his teachers with inspiring him to study
well and constantly motivating him to
pursue his career. He says Isha Vidhya
shaped his character and taught him
patience.
He feels content to be earning and being
independent, and aspires to set up a chain
of optician's shops across India.
