Some careers are built step by step. Others take a leap. For Dudekula Babu, the leap came after 15 years in the IT corridors of IBM, HCL, and Verizon, where he managed complex projects for domestic and international clients. His corporate career was thriving, but deep down, he felt a pull toward something more — something that allowed him to create solutions without the constraints of hierarchy and job descriptions. That “something” took shape in 2014 with the birth of Wilco Solutions. Choosing the healthcare sector was a deliberate decision.

In a sunlit classroom in Bangalore, a quiet transformation is taking place. Here, a Sanskrit shloka meets a line of French poetry. An English debate flows into a Kannada conversation. A Hindi story unfolds beside a grammar exercise. This isn’t coincidence—it’s the signature rhythm of LIB Education, where languages come alive, and learners find their voice. Founded in May 2023 by the educator–strategist duo Dr. Kakali Roy Chowdhury and Mr. Rishin Roy Chowdhury, LIB began with ₹1 lakh of self-funded capital and a daring belief: that language is more than an academic requirement—it’s a life skill, a confidence builder, and…

In every industry, there are professionals who follow the standard path — and then there are those who rewrite the rules. Dr. Prateek Vyas, founder of Bodyreset in Mumbai, belongs to the second category.

For Aditya Kumawat, founder of Aditya Construction, that story began not in a corporate boardroom or an engineering college, but in the quiet, determined mind of a young man who believed that housing could be both modern and accessible. Before Aditya entered the construction world, his path seemed far removed from the brick-and-mortar reality he commands today. With a background in computer applications, his professional journey could have easily followed the well-trodden road of IT careers. But Aditya…

Every success story begins with a moment of choice. For Mahesh N S, that moment came in the middle of a health crisis. At 34, Mahesh’s career in pharmacovigilance was thriving. But his body was telling a different story. Persistent gastritis, endless medication cycles, temporary relief followed by more pain—it felt like a treadmill he couldn’t get off. “I realized I was managing illness, not building health,” he says. That one insight changed everything. When the Fight Became Personal Mahesh decided to stop treating symptoms and start addressing root causes. He dived deep into nutrition science, functional medicine, and lifestyle…
