His prestart up activities began; location, funding and other infrastructure requirements needed to be assembled and raised. This was not easy, Santosh decided to go to schools and colleges in the nearby area and canvass about his class and also do advertising, by putting small ads in the newspaper. The cost of advertising was also not affordable to Santosh as the paper distributor charged 15 Rs for small adds in 100 newspapers and he had planned for 5000 such adds. Santosh’s classmates were with him on his entire journey, and they all decided to insert the ads themselves in the newspaper so that they could save some money. He also got 10 big advertising flex boards printed. He spent in all Rs 10,000/- which was given to him by his brother Amit. His close friends and his college teacher Prof Gunjan Behl were by his side throughout his initial struggle and were constant sources of inspiration and guidance for him. There was a positive turn in this journey as the phone started ringing and enquiries dropped in. The day of inauguration was dawned, Santosh was awarded the black belt at the inauguration of his training centre on July 13th, 2015. Initially there were only 20 students at his training centre and the fee structure was Rs 300/- as the registration fees which would be paid to his sir and Rs 200/-per month as the class fee which would be kept by Santosh. His dedication yielded fruit and gradually enrolment increased at the training centre. Today Santosh has 3 batches running, two in the morning; 6.00 pm-7.00 pm and 7.00 am to 8.00am and the third in the evening 7.00 pm and 8.00 pm. Now there are in total 60 students getting trained in his Academy.

Santosh as a child never knew what father’s love was; his father never paid any attention towards
the family, always drunk and created fights when in his senses. Santosh’s brother Amit was 10
years older than him; his mother struggled hard by stitching clothes to raise her kids and make
ends meet. Amit from a very tender age of 13 did part-time jobs to help his mom in earning.
Santosh was 4 years old when he lost his father. The family’s struggle in life continued and Amit
