Vinod Agrawal managing business since the age of 14-15 Born on June 10, 1963, in Rohtak, Haryana, Vinod Agrawal’s family was associated with landlordism. In 1965, when he was two years old, his family moved and settled in Indore. In Indore, his father first worked, then started his own transport business. After this, he gradually got involved in the coal business. In an interview given to Dainik Bhaskar, Vinod Agrawal had said- “When I was in 9th grade, I was 14-15 years old. That’s when I started managing the business.” Agarwal said – I traveled to Gujarat-Rajasthan at a young age, which was related to the coal business. Handling clients was a big challenge then. Due to my young age, it was often difficult to gain their trust. However, my passion for reading did not diminish. I was a gold medalist in the 12th examination. I was on the merit list in the state. The business journey also continued. When we came to Indore, we didn’t even have a bicycle
Vinod Agarwal had said – When we came to Indore, we didn’t even have a bicycle. It was a dream to have a bicycle ourselves. Today, God has given us a Rolls Royce. I believe that one should do what time makes you do. If you walk ahead of time, there is trouble, and if you walk behind time, there is also trouble. For example, if you can maintain a Mercedes car today and you start driving a Maruti out of stinginess, that is also wrong. If your position is only for a Maruti and you bring a Mercedes, you won’t be able to handle it. You won’t be able to maintain it, so you will get troubled. Don’t live a life of interest. Be as you are. Received everything from the holy city of Mother Ahilya
Vinod Agrawal says – I was once told that India’s laws are different. They are strict. Taxation is high here. You should settle abroad somewhere. You should leave the country. My answer to them always was that this is the holy city of Mother Ahilya. If you have come here and earned something from here, and you think of going somewhere else and being able to manage it. I have many such examples of people who changed their hometowns and couldn’t manage. I will never leave Indore. This land has given me everything. Then there was talk about the son, that he should be settled abroad. Make him an NRI. I said that Indian values are not like that. Our son is the legacy of our future. He has to carry forward what we have. My vision is to stay with my family in this country, in this city. ​
