Manuj Aggarwal grew up in a small town in Northern India. A friendly child, his home was troubled. He withdrew into his shell, becoming aloof and angry. At age 15, he started working in a factory. He labored 12 hours/day with only $2 as a daily salary.
In 1995, a new computer institute (Aptech) threw its doors open in his town. Tuition was greater than a year’s salary, but Manuj scraped together funds for the first class where he found his passion: Computers and Programming. He met his wife there and they fell madly in love. But their marriage was disapproved of by his family…
Ultimately, Manuj had to run away from home with only a suitcase full of clothes. After finally marrying, they traveled to Canada and started a new life. Even in a new country, he had to overcome enormous challenges. Today, he is excelling and inspiring others to pursue their dreams. Today, Manuj Aggarwal is a recognized global thought leader in Startups and AI, an elite technology consultant, and a business mentor.
