In this deeply personal video, I share my complete failure resume - something that changed how thousands of people view their own setbacks. I reveal three major failures that almost destroyed me: dropping out of my PhD in the US, losing ₹100 crores in my startup nearbuy.com, and reaching a point where we had to sell gold bangles to buy my son a bicycle. These weren't just professional setbacks - they were life-altering moments that questioned everything I believed about myself.

But here's what I learned: every failure became the foundation for my success. I share the three critical mindsets that transformed how I handle adversity. Your failures aren't your end; they're your building blocks.
