His parents believed their child was capable of anything and they instilled that confidence in him. Although his parents were poor, they found ways to help their son acheive remarkable things.
At first, SriKanth's parents sent him to a regular school, but he was ignored and lonely so they put him in a school with other special needs students. SriKanth kept overcoming every obstacle in his path. But his big dream was to become an Engineer and no school in India would admit him, even though he scored 90% on the entrance exams. Instead of becoming discouraged, he applied ot MIT in MA and received a full scholarship!
SriKanth dedicated his talents to helping others. How did he do that? He chose to return to India,where he started his own company with 8 special needs employees. In just four years he employed 450! Seventy percent of the personnel has a disability of some sort.
