When life shut the door on him, Bharat didn’t just knock again — he built a new door.
Bharat’s entrepreneurial journey began with hopes, ambition, and just Rs 50,000, invested in an edutech franchise. He worked relentlessly — waking up at 4 AM, working until 11 PM — and turned the center into a success. But success didn’t stay. He was forced out of his own venture, stripped of pay, respect, and ownership.
For a moment, it felt like the end.
But Bharat believed failure is only a pause, not a full stop.
In 2002, he joined a Delhi-based recruitment firm as a recruiter. With no prior experience, he built strong client relationships, mastered market research, and soon became one of the company’s top performers.
By 2007, with nothing but confidence in his skills, Bharat decided to begin again — this time with no capital. He rented a computer for Rs 1,000 per month and started Setyuv Staffing Solutions from his home. His very first cheque was Rs 2,91,564 — the turning point. He reinvested, purchased computers, hired staff, and scaled.
The company grew into Bharat Headhunters Pvt. Ltd. in 2012.
His next leap came in 2015, when he co-founded Tranway21 Technologies Ltd. with his wife Kalavati. Without a sales team, without advertising — just word-of-mouth — the company worked with Infosys, Wipro, and Oracle, becoming a thriving tech solution provider.
By February 2020, the company got listed in the stock market — a milestone many only dream of.
Then, COVID-19 struck. Business slowed. Revenue dipped.
Did he stop? No.
During the pandemic, Bharat turned to his childhood love — farming. With no formal training, he bought 2 acres near Bengaluru and started organic avocado farming. When he realized he needed more knowledge, he enrolled in a 1-year diploma in agriculture.
Today, he grows 80 avocado trees, sells directly to customers at Rs 180–Rs 220/kg, and earns up to Rs 2 lakh — while his original businesses have also returned to full strength.
A man who was once pushed out of his own company is now an entrepreneur, farmer, employer, and inspiration.
Bharat’s story is proof that resilience can turn loss into legacy.
