In the video, we meet Jaspreet, a 10-year-old boy skillfully preparing an egg roll. Jaspreet opens up about his family’s struggles, revealing that his father recently passed away due to brain tuberculosis, and his mother abandoned him and his 14-year-old sister, leaving them to fend for themselves. Despite these daunting challenges, Jaspreet diligently attends school during the day and manages his food cart business in the evenings.

In addition to egg rolls, Jaspreet offers a variety of other items on his menu, including chicken rolls, kebab rolls, paneer rolls, chowmein rolls, and seekh kebab rolls.
Moved by Jaspreet’s resilience, Anand Mahindra took to social media to request the boy’s contact information, expressing his admiration and concern for his education. He emphasized the importance of supporting Jaspreet’s schooling, ensuring that his future isn’t compromised by his current circumstances.
Courage, thy name is Jaspreet.
But his education shouldn’t suffer.
I believe, he’s in Tilak Nagar, Delhi. If anyone has access to his contact number please do share it.
The Mahindra foundation team will explore how we can support his education.
