In a small tea estate village named Hope Tea Garden in Jalpaiguri, a little boy was told not to bother dreaming if he planned on continuing to live in that hamlet. Little did they know that he was the boy who once travelled 108 km for school using three modes of transport, who believed in his roots and his own path, and knew that his skill will usher in his destiny, not his surroundings.

Today, he has been ranked as the number one young entrepreneur in India by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship for his invention, and will be felicitated by PM Modi exactly three months from now. Meet Amit Agarwal, the creator of UpCart.  This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
