hi, lp, ko

It has been rightly said that if you can dream big, you can do it. The road to your dreams isn’t always easy to navigate, sometimes dotted with mountains to climb, obstacles to overcome—and hard, mind-numbing times that will make you feel like quitting. Just remember this if you get lost along the way: Anything worth having doesn’t come easy. So don’t turn back around. Don’t give up.

The inspiring story of Mohammed Muneeb Khan and Mohammed Akheel can stir high hopes in the veins of young enthusiasts who believe in the power of abundance in the universe.

Born in a business family in Shivamogga city of Karnataka, Mohammed Muneeb Khan dreams of becoming an entrepreneur. But Mr. Muneeb’s parents want him to get a respectable job as they don’t wish him to go through the struggles they have gone through. But his relatives motivated and supported him in realising his dreams.

Mr. Muneeb’s parents want him to pursue a career in engineering but his plans guide him to have engineers working for him.

When Mr. Muneeb was in 10th standard,  he went to the RTO office with his father to renew his driving licence. He observed the middlemen are making money through driving license procedures.

This attracted Mr. Muneeb to ignite his passion for business and he started helping people with less cost and less profit margin. Till his 12 standard , he continued his business which is a bit of a slow process to get DL but a righteous one with his industrious efforts. Mr. Muneeb pursued his Civil and EHS Engineering diploma and at the same time tried his luck in real estate too.

Mr. Muneeb’s life could have been an ordinary life till the point he met his business associate and partner in his later life, Mohammed Akheel. Mr. Akheel’s father was an exemplary Advocate with a philanthropic heart. He used to help downtrodden sections of the society by providing books and clothes.

Mr. Akheel’s life was almost to a halt when his father passed away on 15 November 2008. Mr. Akheel was just 16 and had shattered dreams before him. He realized the courage to live by himself and started supporting his family by doing petty jobs like newspaper distribution and working as a salesman in a cloth shop. Mr. Akheel also worked at a pharmaceutical shop to earn his living and supported the studies of his brother and sister.

Mr. Akheel’s eyes hold the dream of becoming a Mechanical Engineer and to take an overseas flight. To pursue his higher education, he went to ask for help from his relatives who denied him. Mr. Akheel’s determination to get a reputed college for himself took him to PES Institute of Technology and Management and his mother supported him financially through her mortgaged gold money.

The fee was more and he had quite less in his pocket. He straightway went up to the Managing Director and Principal of the college, Aruna Devi and Vishvanath P Baliger for the admission. Mr. Akheel’s request was granted but to a different stream and that was Computer Science. But his interest grew in Computer Science as if destiny had a call for him.

Mr. Akheel and Mr. Muneeb opened a firm “Bright Groups” in partnership in 2012. The firm aimed at supplying bags and uniforms to the students. They got the  first order from their college and later on the business grew through references.

Mr. Muneeb and Mr. Akheel kept their search on for investors in the overseas market. Mr. Akheel got an opportunity to crack an interview conducted by a tourism company of Bahrain. He respected the job offer made to him and his dream to sit in a flight came true as he went  to the interview in Bangalore.

Mr. Akheel was given the highest job offer of his engineering batch i.e. 9 lacs per annum with all transportation and other amenities.

Mr. Muneeb faced a lot of challenges in getting a job for himself as he was rejected by 33 companies. But he never looked back and the sky was the limit for him.  At last, Mr. Muneeb was appointed as EHS officer in a Petrochemical plant in the second largest company of Saudi Arabia, ‘Sabic”. He used to pitch his business proposals to investors after his job hours.
