Paras Pandhi is a unique artist propagating the folk literature of Gujarat. For the first time, he is coming with a new public initiative of a three-hour motivational talk that can change the lives of people. After changing the lives of Gujaratis, motivational speaker Paras Pandhi plans to go national and global.
Born in the Gondal district of Gujarat and lived in Surat for 25 years, Paras Pandhi’s life has been very difficult. He started doing small and big businesses — delivering couriers, selling newspapers, running a slipper shop, running a bakery, a job in a call center, a waiter in a hotel at Vapi, and more than 30 such jobs — when he was in 9th standard.
Sharing his life with navjeevanexpress.com, Paras Pandhi says, “I had the same joy when I was young as I have today.”
Paras Pandhi did a public programme at the age of 15 which was liked by many people and that boosted his confidence. Today, millions of people are gaining confidence from his morale-boosting performances. Incidentally, power in Paras’s speech takes people from their goals to destinations.
“Words that do not change the life of people are inappropriate for me,” says Paras.
Speaking of money, and fame, he says. people’s appreciation has increased a lot in the last three years. To his credit, he has done over 500 programmes in the last 15 years.
The artists from Gujarat also love and listen to him. “If there is something in a man, and if it does not reach people, then his life is said to be a failure and he should come out of this situation by any means,” advocates Paras.
That is why Paras Pandhi used to suggest many good singers to make album songs to prove their unique identity. People say that they have not grown-up yet, just to overcome this mentality, Paras Pandhi made a thanking song.
Paras Pandhi has done many programmes with leading artists of Gujarat like Kirtidan Gadhvi, Osman Mir, Geeta Rabari, Alpa Patel, Yogita Patel, and other renowned artists.
And now he is doing a 3-hour motivational programme in the larger interest of the people. From the videos, one can realise that all his programmes are always houseful in Gujarat, and in the coming years, he is dreaming of becoming an international speaker in Hindi and English as well.
Paras Pandhi says. “I am not talking about any caste, religion, or sect. I am talking about humanity, so what I say in the Gujarati language, the same thing I can do in public in America.”
