Santosh's work started in his village, Pandurna. Even after contracting polio at the age of five, he did not give up and learned to rely on his self-confidence. He never gave up.

In 2006, when Santosh's father passed away, problems increased for his family. Santosh then decided to continue farming as his profession and step forward with full faith.

In 2014, once again due to his disability, he had to face new challenges. There was an increase in agricultural work. But using this difficult time as a source of inspiration, Santosh again moved towards success. He decided to go to Pusad to fulfill his dreams.

At Pusad, he got the opportunity to meet the members of Mahindra. With the help of the Mahindra team, Santosh bought a tractor and started using it for farming. Within a short time, he overcame the difficulties of farming. While he started with one tractor, today, he has four tractors, his own house, and a well-established industry. Santosh believes that it is very important to be self-reliant. But if a person is better accomplished with someone's help, then that help is also important.

Using tractors in agricultural work and such technological improvements, he has risen above many challenges and established his own business. Santosh sincerely believes that to achieve success in life, we must accept our difficulties and dare to overcome them.

He not only faced these problems but also inspired the people of the village with his inspirational steps. His biggest and dearest dream is that the entire village becomes a self-reliant enterprise. And for this, he contributes with his dedication to his work every day. Santosh has inspired his entire village to live a strong and self-reliant life. He has proven that one can overcome any difficulty if one has the mental strength, support of loved ones, and competent guidance.
