I’m Prashant Patil, also known as Guru among my friends and family. I come from the vibrant city of Nandurbar, Maharashtra. My father was a pioneer in the network marketing industry, achieving his lifelong dream of owning a home after years of hard work and dedication. He always supported my aspirations, particularly my passion for fitness and well-being.
I pursued my dream of excelling in the fitness industry by enrolling in a B.Sc. program in Sports & Exercise Science. Recognizing the limited opportunities in India, I secured an education loan and moved to London for my studies. While studying and working part-time, I was introduced to trading by a friend, which quickly captivated my interest. However, the onset of COVID-19 brought unforeseen challenges. My father's health worsened, our family business faced significant losses, and he suffered a heart attack, leaving him bedridden. The mounting debt of ₹75 lakh forced me to abandon my studies and return home.
Upon returning to India, I was overwhelmed by our financial crisis and fell into depression. Determined to help my family, I secretly opened a tea stall while diving deep into learning about trading. I soon realized that my father had incurred significant losses in options trading. With his consent, I took over the trading responsibilities and, through perseverance and strategic learning, managed to turn our financial situation around and repay our debts.
Today, I am a full-time trader, having transformed our financial adversities into triumphs through determination and continuous learning. My journey from a fitness enthusiast to a successful trader is a testament to resilience and the power of adapting to changing circumstances.
