Early Life

He had been using calipers and crutches and now has a wheelchair to move and travel. Ajay Gupta has his roots in Delhi originating in a simple, middle-class family that nurtured him in all his adversities and encouraged him to face the world with all his strengths. Accessing basic amenities or even reaching his home on the first, second, or top floor was always a struggle due to the lack of lifts. He realized that society and employers do not trust the intelligence, the ability of the specially-abled and don’t give equal opportunities to them.

He got his first inclination towards business during school days. By Class 12, he was attracted to the lessons and principles in business studies. This was the beginning of his getting a strong desire to become a businessman, take risks, talk numbers and probably be a game-changer.

Education
Unlike other children, Ajay went to school for the first time at an age of 6 years. Ajay’s family never came across any school that ran exclusively for the specially-abled.

So, Ajay went on to complete his primary education from Rajkiya Madhyamik Bal Vidyalaya in Delhi. He moved to Ramjas School for his senior secondary studies after years of painstaking routine. From childhood through adolescence, Ajay closely observed the educational and awareness deficits in society. The challenges he discovered as a student became an inspiration for him and he later executed the plans through his ventures like Rishihood University and Hum Honge Kamyab.

Ajay Gupta is the founder of the nationally recognized school chains of Bachpan Play School and Academic Heights Public School. His love for building educational realms made him take a step forward and he became the co-founder of his first tertiary education venture, the Rishihood University. He invested in technology to foster the ways of learning for students. Prismart is the venture that advocates for bringing in tech-friendly components in the world of education.
