Varun was a brilliant student but at the age of 16, he realized that formal education was not his thing. Parting his ways from the rest of his classmates, he went on to focus on his own set of rules to chase his dreams. Moving to 11th in a new school was the beginning of a life-changing experience for Varun when a road accident forced him indoors for 6-month-long bed rest. While he could have waited for his recovery, Varun chooses to utilize the time looking for something new to learn. He did not rely completely on the internet but also read a lot of books.

Giving a peek into his thinking, Varun says, “There are 2 rules in my life which I believe are important to make this world a great place to live again. First, we are human and secondly, we live on an economic planet.”
“We should always remember that it’s humanity, empathy and compassion that makes our lives better and we shouldn’t give them up at any cost. Also, money is the thing that keeps the wheel of the economy moving. To simplify, it has become the main source of survival on this planet,” Varun explains his ideology.
