Meet Indian genius who became one of youngest entrepreneurs at 13, built Rs 100 crore company, his net worth is...

Age is just a number. This famous saying was proved right by a child prodigy who established his own company at an age when kids normally worry about their studies and marks.

We are talking about Tilak Mehta, who had secured an extraordinary feat at the age of 13. The idea first originated when he visited his uncle's house and after returning, he realised that he had left his books at his place, but he needed them instantly to study for the exams. Then, he asked various agencies for same-day delivery of his parcel. But these services were either too expensive or a quick delivery was not possible. 

This incident drove him to think of ways to transport a parcel at the earliest during emergencies. This motivated him to establish a company 'Paper n parcels' that provides delivery services within the city immediately. 

For this amazing concept, the young entrepreneur took motivation from Mumbai's dabbawalas, who are the fastest delivery people, available at a low price. With the initial financial investment from his father, he partnered with the dabbawalas to deliver parcels within the city at an affordable cost. 

Later, he started the online platform that assists businesses with their shipping and logistics in 2018. With unwavering determination and dedication, he scaled the company to a turnover of over Rs 100 crore. His company has currently over 200 direct employees and 300 Dabbawalas, handling over 1200 deliveries daily. 

Meanwhile, Tilak's net worth has crossed over Rs 65 crore as of 2021, making his monthly income a whopping Rs 2 crore.

Thus, Tilak Mehta's inspiring journey from a 13-year-old boy to a successful entrepreneur underlines the importance of unflinching passion and determination.
