To think that achieving greatness in life is a trying task when we have every privilege that we can ever dream of, when this lad from Hyderabad just glides through life inspires us all. With a smile on the face and an optimism that few can brave, Sai Prasad Vishwanathan could give any motivational speaker a run for his money. Never using his disability as an excuse or an easy way out, he did what nobody in his league ever did.
He’s our very own Hyderabadi lad who studied in CBIT, finished his MBA from ISB. Despite being bound to the wheelchair, he completed his dream expedition and broke amazing records. Even so, the broken records aren’t the greatest things about this gem of a person.
Here are 7 things about Sai Prasad that make him stand out not just as a pride to the nation but as a wonderful human being:
