MANOJ SHARMA- MENTOR TRUSTEE

The monk who sold his Ferrari, is undoubtedly the apt way to describe Manoj Sharma in one sentence. Having ventured into family business at the age of 18 and working tirelessly for four decades to establish flourishing business and factory in Dehradun, he left everything to follow his heart, at the age of 58, with new zeal and mission to share his vast working experience and knowledge with rural communities of Uttrakhand. So far, he has had the privilege of visiting more than 500 villages of Uttarakhand on foot, at times walking for more than 2 days to reach a rural community.
