Suresh Minhas was no stranger to hardship. Born and raised in a modest household in Chennai, he experienced firsthand the struggles of growing up in a financially constrained environment. His parents, both schoolteachers, instilled in him the values of education, empathy, and hard work. They believed that education was the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and were determined to provide their son with the best opportunities they could afford. This belief would later become the cornerstone of Suresh Minhas' philanthropic efforts, shaping his life's mission to uplift underprivileged children through education and holistic development.
