The greatest similarity between chess and life, there are a few critical moments where there is no room for second best decision. The rest is planning, execution and diligence.” – Apoorva Ganapathy

Often in people’s lives, they encounter ‘make or break’ moments that define their future. Once a young talented boy, capable of rising to great heights as a chess master, returned home unexpectedly to fetch something that he had forgotten. To his greatest surprise, he saw his mother’s tears welling from deep inside running down her cheeks, as she gazed helplessly at her empty food stockpile, perplexed about how she would feed dinner to her family. While he was well aware of his humble origins as he commuted to chess tournaments by bus and often carried his trophies 4 kms on foot to reach his home, never did he imagine that poverty had penetrated so deeply in his family. This was the day when he decided that he will leave no stone unturned in working hard towards achieving financial wellness for his loved ones.
