There is an entrepreneur in every person—some live longing to be one and some take the plunge to become one. For those on the fence, this is a story that can make a difference. N R Panicker’s life and journey, from a poverty-stricken childhood in a village to becoming a successful entrepreneur and then letting go of all that he had built at the peak of his career, is a gripping tale of despair, triumph, failure and success.
When life deals you an unkind cut, how you respond to it offers a window to the character you possess. Blindness at birth can be particularly debilitating because you are deprived of self-dependency. However, if you learn to not just take the disability in your stride but also use it as a motivation to scale the ladder of life, then sky is the limit. As GK Mahantesh has amply illustrated. Presented with the easier option of falling back on family support and coasting through life, Mahantesh opted for the more arduous path of making a name for himself and offering inspiration as well as financial independence to thousands of others. Fusing his love for cricket with an innate desire to look beyond himself, he has carved a niche both through his illustrious association with blind cricket and the Samarthanam Trust. Eye Opener charts Mahantesh’s fascinating, undulating journey from the outpost of Belagavi to the hustle and bustle of constant international travel, reiterating that blindness, or any disability, is no deterrent if you have will, passion, enterprise and industry.
