IIT Bombay Gold Medalist. He got a high package job in America. He got a job with a package of about 3 crores. But he gave up everything. Now he has opened a grocery shop. Time and circumstances change a person’s life. No one knows how long and what turn a person’s life will take. Something similar happened with Vivek Sharma from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. His story is now being discussed on social media. It is being claimed that Vivek got a job in America with an annual package of 2.9 crores rupees. But he rejected it. Now he has opened a grocery shop in Kanpur. The reason behind this is very touching and inspiring.
Quits job with Rs 2.9 crore per annum package – According to a viral social media post, Vivek Sharma got a job offer from a San Francisco-based startup with a package of around Rs 2.9 crore per annum. He was offered many offers, including visa sponsorship, relocation and the opportunity to build an international career. However, when he was preparing to go to the US, a family incident forced him to turn down the job.
Family sacrifices stopped him – According to the post, Vivek comes from a middle-class family in Kanpur. His father was a clerk in the railways. His mother used to tutor to supplement the family income. His parents made a lot of sacrifices for Vivek’s education. They spent their savings. They even sold jewelry. They spent every penny they saved on Vivek’s education. The only goal was how Vivek would study in the quota. Later, Vivek entered IIT Bombay.
Changed circumstances before going to America- The post claims that the family faced a difficult time before going to America. Vivek’s father suffered a heart attack. His mother was suffering from cancer. At this time, his life took a new turn. This situation forced him to change his decision. He rejected a job package of 2.9 crores. Instead of pursuing a career abroad, Vivek Sharma decided to stay in Kanpur for his parents. He runs a grocery shop under the house. Not only that, he also teaches Kodi to poor children for free.
Vivek’s story has touched the hearts of people on social media. One user wrote, Success is not measured by a big salary alone. Sometimes it is determined by those who sacrifice everything for themselves. Similarly, another user wrote, Money is not everything. You have to think about family.
