Meet Yogesh, a dynamic entrepreneur from Belgaum, Karnataka. Yogesh's journey is truly inspiring. He owns a book stall and stationery store, acts as the distributor for nine different companies, and manages an online centre - all from within his store. In addition to his thriving businesses, Yogesh's wife contributes to the family's success as a lecturer at RD Degree College. 

Yogesh's entrepreneurial spirit extends to the social sphere as well. He recognised the impact of the government's ban on single-use plastics and embarked on a mission to make a positive change. He connected with a company in Pune and acquired machinery capable of producing a special type of silver-coated polymer that can be recycled. This initiative not only reduces plastic waste but also boosts the local economy. 

Yogesh's vision is to generate employment opportunities for 300 women initially, with an ambitious goal of creating jobs for 5000 individuals in the future. His aspiration is to empower people to support their households and realise their dreams. Yogesh believes in the power of self-confidence, holding that with belief in oneself and relentless effort, anything is possible. His journey is a testament to his unwavering dedication to both his businesses and his community.
