This 23 year old Srikanth Bolla tricked fate to build a Rs 50-crore company

When he was born, neighbors in the village suggested that his parents smother him. It was better than the pain they would have to go through their lifetime, some said. He is a “useless” baby without eyes… being born blind is a sin, others added.

Twenty-three years later, Srikanth Bolla is standing tall living by his conviction that if the “world looks at me and says, ‘Srikanth, you can do nothing,’ I look back at the world and say I can do anything.”

Srikanth is the CEO of Hyderabad-based Bollant Industries, an organisation that employs uneducated and disabled employees to manufacture eco-friendly, disposable consumer packaging solutions, which is worth Rs 50 crores.

He considers himself the luckiest man alive, not because he is now a millionaire, but because his uneducated parents, who earned Rs 20,000 a year, did not heed any of the ‘advice’ they received and raised him with love and affection. “They are the richest people I know,” says Srikanth.

For Srikanth, despite life being more challenging than it is for most of us, he always aimed high.Born blind into an agricultural family in Sitaramapuram village in Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh, he was admitted to a blind school in Hyderabad. He excelled in studies and scored above 90 percent in his class 10 examinations. He wanted to be an engineer and applied for the physics, mathematics and chemistry group for pre-university. But the education department said that a visually challenged person could only take up humanities. He had to run from pillar to post to get a favourable judgement. With the support of T Swarnalatha, his teacher from class 4, who translated all the books for him in audio format and braille he managed to score 93 percent. But the hurdle came when he wanted to join IIT after his pre-university. No entrance coaching institute gave him admission.

What is it about stories like Srikanth’s that so inspire and fill one with hope? Could it be the multiple zeroes after a dollar sign or the belief that you and I can achieve similar success if we set our minds and hearts to it? Underdog success stories touch a raw nerve. After all, everyone faces adversity, they dream, and they work hard. It is another matter that only a few cross the threshold of limits set by society.

In Srikanth’s case, it is his sheer tenacity that shines through the dark clouds of his misfortune. Being born blind was just one part of the story. He was also born poor. And you know what that means in a society like ours.

In school, he was pushed to the back bench and not allowed to play. The little village school had no way of knowing what inclusion meant. When he wanted to take up science after his class X, he was denied the option because of his disability. All of 18, Srikanth not only fought the system but went on to become the first international blind student to be admitted to the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US.

Today, Srikanth has four production plants, one each in Hubli (Karnataka) and Nizamabad (Telangana), and two in Hyderabad (Telangana). Another plant, which will be one hundred percent solar operated, is coming up in Sri City, an integrated business city in Andhra Pradesh, 55 kms from Chennai.

Angel investor Ravi Mantha, who met Srikanth about two years ago, was so impressed with his business acumen and vision for his company that he not only decided to mentor him but also invested in Srikanth’s company.

They are raising $2-million (around Rs 13 crores) in funding and have already raised Rs 9 crores. According to Ravi, his personal goal is to “take the company to IPO.” A vision to build a sustainable company with a workforce comprising 70 percent people with disability is no mean task. “Srikanth’s vision is inbuilt in the company. It is not just a lip service to CSR,” adds Ravi.

When Srikanth was growing up, his father, a farmer, would take him to the fields but the little boy couldn’t be of any help. His father then decided that he might as well study. “In my parent’s entrepreneurship model, I was a failure. In entrepreneurship, we have a lean business model where we evaluate an enterprise and say how quickly it fails.” Since the nearest school in his village was five kms away, he had to make his way there mostly on foot. He did this for two years. “No one acknowledged my presence. I was put in the last bench. I could not participate in the PT class. That was the time in my life I thought I was the poorest child in the world. It was not because of lack of money but because of loneliness.”

He chose his battles carefully and did his homework searching the Internet to find the best engineering programme for someone like himself. He applied to schools in the US and got into the top four – MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, and Carnegie Mellon. He went to MIT (with a scholarship) as the first international blind student in the school’s history.

It wasn’t easy adjusting to life there, but by and by he started to do well. Towards the end of his bachelor’s course when the ‘what next’ question came up, it brought him back to where he had started.

Bolla wants to pursue an MBA in an institute like Harvard and become India's president. No doubt his story is one oft quoted by his hero, the former President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam.

“Show compassion and make people rich. Include people in your life and remove loneliness, and lastly, do something good; it will come back to you.”

స్వాతంత్ర సమర యోధురాలు శ్రీమతి మాగంటి అన్నపూర్ణాదేవి

మాగంటి అన్నపూర్ణాదేవి, స్వాతంత్ర పోరాటంలో పాల్గొన్న వనిత, సమాజ సేవిక, రచయిత్రి. తన 27వ యేటనే మరణించిన ఈమె అప్పటికే భారత స్వాతంత్ర పోరాటంలో ప్రముఖమైన పాత్ర నిర్వహించి మహాత్మా గాంధీ మన్ననలు పొందింది. ఈమె భర్త మాగంటి బాపినీడు దక్షిణాదిన ప్రముఖ స్వాతంత్ర సమర యోధులలో ఒకడు.

అన్నపూర్ణాదేవి 1900 సంవత్సరంలో ఒక మధ్యతరగతి కుటుంబంలో కలగర రామస్వామి, పిచ్చమ్మ దంపతులకు జన్మించింది. చిన్నతనంనుండి తన ప్రతిభను కనపరచింది. ఏలూరు కు చెందిన రాలి శేషగిరిరావు ఆమెకు గురువు, మార్గదర్శి. ఆదిపూడి సోమనాధరావు అనే కవి మరియు సంఘసంస్కర్త కూడా ఆమెపై ప్రభావం చూపాడు. మొదట్లో ఆమె ఇంటివద్దనే చదువుకొన్నది. తరువాత గుంటూరు మిషన్ స్కూలులో చదువుకొంది. తరువాత కలకత్తాలో బ్రహ్మ సమాజం బాలికల పాఠశాలలో చదివింది. ఆర్ధికంగా బలహీనులైన ఆమె తల్లిదండ్రులు ఎంతో శ్రమించి ఆమె విద్యాభ్యాసానికి అవుసరమైన ఖర్చులు భరించారు. కలకత్తాలో శ్రీమతి శకుంతలాదేవి, హేమచంద్ర సిర్కార్ వంటి విద్యావేత్తలు ఆమె చదువు, జీవితం రూపుదిద్దుకోవడంలో సహాయపడ్డారు. ఆమె క్రమశిక్షణా జీవనం అందరినీ ఆశ్చర్యపరిచేది. పాఠశాల విద్యలతోపాటు బెంగాలీ భాషలో మంచి ప్రావీణ్యం సంపాదించింది. బెంగాలీ నుండి తెలుగులోకి పెక్కు అనువాదాలు చేసింది.

ఐదేళ్ళ చదువు తరువాత ఆ వత్తిడి ఆమెపై ప్రభావం చూపింది. ఏలూరుకు తిరిగి వచ్చింది. ఒక సంవత్సరం తరువాత మద్రాసు విశ్వవిద్యాలయంమెట్రిక్యులేషన్ పరీక్షకు కూర్చొంది. తన చదువుకు అవుఉసరమైన ధనం సంపాదించుకోవడం కోసం 1917లో (తన 17వ యేట) "సీతారామ" అనే పుస్తకాన్ని ప్రచురించింది. అది తరువాత ఉన్నత పాఠశాల చదువులకు పాఠ్యపుస్తకంగా వాడారు. తరువాత ఆమె ఆరోగ్యం దెబ్బతిన్నది. ఒక సంవత్సరం పాటు వైద్యం నిమిత్తం 1919లో మదనపల్లె వెళ్ళింది. 1920లో ఆమె వివాహం మాగంటి బాపినీడుతో జరిగింది. అతను అప్పుడు కలకత్తా సిటీ కాలేజిలో చదువుతున్నాడు. వారి వివాహానికి తెలుగులోనే మంత్రాలు చదివారు. ఉమేష్ చంద్ర విద్యార్థి, ఆదిపూడి సోమనాథరావు వంటి సంస్కర్తలు ఆ వివాహానికి అతిధులుగా ఉన్నారు.

వివాహం తరువాత బాపినీడు ఉన్నత చదువులకు అమెరికా వెళ్ళాడు. అతనితోపాటు అన్నపూర్ణ కూడా వెళ్ళాల్సి ఉంది కాని పొసగలేదు. భారతదేశంలో ఉన్న అన్నపూర్ణాదేవి మహాత్మా గాంధీ సందేశంతో ప్రభావితయై భారత స్వాతంత్ర పోరాటం పనులలో తలమునకలు కాసాగింది. అదే సమయంలో ఆమె డబ్బుకోసం చాలా ఇబ్బందులు పడింది. అయినా గాని 1200 రూపాయల ఖరీదైన చీరలన్నీ (అమెరికా ప్రయాణం కోసం కొనుక్కున్నవి) తగులబెట్టేసింది. ఏలూరులో మోహన్‌దాస్ ఖద్దర్ పరిశ్రమ స్థాపించింది. ఆంధ్ర దేశం అంతటా పర్యటించింది.

1923లో బాపినీడు తిరిగివచ్చాడు. బొంబాయిలో అతను స్టీమర్ దిగిన వెంటనే ఆమె తను తెచ్చిన ఖద్దరు బట్టలు అతనికిచ్చి అతని సూటులన్నీ సముద్రంలో పారవేయమంది. అతను మారుమాటాడకుండా అలానే చేశాడు. గాంధీ ఆమె గురించి she had already ‘acquired a gentle but commanding influence over her husband, by her purity and single-minded devotion.’ అని వ్రాశాడు.ఆమె తరువాత అనేక ప్రాంతాలు పర్యటించింది. సభలలో ప్రసంగించింది. తన కార్యదీక్ష, సత్ప్రవర్తనల ద్వారా అందరి మన్ననలూ పొందింది.

1924లో ఆమె ఆరోగ్యం మళ్ళీ క్షీణించసాగింది. భర్తతో కలిసి అనేక ఆరోగ్య కేంద్రాలకు వెళ్ళింది. ఈ సమయంలోనే రామకృష్ణ పరమహంస బోధనలను తెలుగులోకి అనువదించింది. భారతదేశం భవిష్యత్తులో మహిళల పరిస్థితి గురించి "నారి" అనే పుస్తకం వ్రాసింది. 1927 నవంబరు 9న ఆమె మరణించింది.

ఆమె మరణం తరువాత ఆమె వ్యక్తిత్వం గురించి మహాత్మా గాంధీ ఇలా వ్రాశాడు.

"1921 బెజవాడ మహిళా సమావేశంలో ఖద్దరు వస్త్రాలు ధరించిన ఒక అమ్మాయి అన్నీ తానై అందరినీ అదుపుచేస్తూ సమావేశం నిర్వహించింది. ఆమె అంతకు ముందు ధరించిన విలువైన ఆభరణాలు నాకు గుర్తున్నాయి. ఆమె మరణం వల్ల నేను కోల్పోయింది కేవలం ఒక సహాయకురాలు మాత్రమే కాదు. భారత దేశంలో నా స్వంత కూతురులా మెలగిన ఒక వనిత మనకు దూరమైంది. ఆమె విశ్వాసంలోను, పనిలోను ఎన్నడూ చలించలేదు. ఆమె కార్యదీక్ష అందరికీ ఆదర్శప్రాయమైనది."

ఈమె మరణానంతరం బాపినీడు 193౩లో అన్నపూర్ణాదేవి లేఖలు ఒక పుస్తకంగా ప్రచురించాడు. ఈ పుస్తకానికి పరిచయవాక్యాలు ఉన్నవ లక్ష్మీనారాయణ వ్రాశాడు

Xavier Naidoo to represent Germany in Stockholm

Song chosen in a live show by televoting on February 18th

Hamburg, Germany One of Germany's most successful artists has been internally chosen represent his country in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest: Xavier Naidoo. Some of the most renowned songwriters and producers have been asked to prepare songs for him, the six best out of which will be presented in a national final on February 18th. The entry which Xavier Naidoo will sing on stage in Stockholm will be picked by the German TV viewers.

With 20 years of stage experience, all of his albums going gold or platinum, and several TV awards, Xavier Naidoo is undoubtedly on of the biggest stars of the German music scene. In 2016, he will add another items to his long list of achievements: He will represent Germany in the Eurovision Song Contest.

"Unser Song für Xavier" on February 18th

The song Xavier Naidoo will sing on stage in Stockholm has not been chosen yet - this important task remains for the German TV viewers. On February 18th, he will present six songs in a live show on the public TV channel Das Erste.

Three music experts, including Germany's latest Eurovision Song Contest winner Lena, will give their opinions on the songs during the show, but in the end, televoting will solely decide on the winning entry.

The best German composers and producers have been asked to submit their songs, with no restrictions on the language of the lyrics - they can be in German but also in English, for example. The six songs for the national final will be picked by a jury consisting of music experts on December 15th, with the involvement of Xavier Naidoo. 

After December 16th, the songs will be presented to students of film and art academies in order to prepare staging concepts for the performances. These ideas, too, will be used in the live show.

About Xavier Naidoo

Xavier Naidoo has shaped German pop music for two decades. His albums sold millions in Germany, they topped the charts for weeks, and they all reached gold or platinum status. Their success extends to Austria and Switzerland. His song Dieser Weg was the official sound track for the German national team in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and thus was one of the most played songs of that year.

But Xavier Naidoo is not only a very successful musician - he also won several TV prizes. Currently he is touring Germany with his band Die Söhne Mannheims, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the group. 

"Xavier Naidoo is an exceptional artist, who has been well-known in the German music business for more than 20 years. This is why we decided to directly select him. The fact that Xavier has agreed to represent Germany in Stockholm is, at the same time, an obligation for us to create the best possible conditions for his performance. For that reason we have changed the selection procedure this year: We ask Germany's best producers and composers to write for Xavier. And by cooperating with students of film and art academia, we want to encourage young and creative people to develop staging and performance concepts for the Eurovision Song Contest. The success of Lena, Loreen and Måns Zelmerlöw have shown that not only the personality of the singers and the power of the songs play a key role in the voting but also the staging of the acts. I am happy about Xavier's commitment and courage to take part in this and about his trust in us. I am looking forward to exciting months ahead of us", explains Thomas Schreiber, entertainment coordinator of the German public broadcaster ARD.
