Ever wondered what happened to the kid who hated school and was always distracted? Well, surprise, surprise, today that kid could be running a company bigger than Havells, employing thousands, and exporting to 84 countries.

Fifteen-year-old Rajat Agarwal had no interest in classes. Instead, he spent his time researching and understanding how things worked, from buckets to bulbs. This intrinsic curiosity and mindset of questioning everything would reap into one of India's fastest-growing cable and wire company, Raunaq Group.

Today, Raunaq Group has 27 manufacturing units across India and exports to 84 countries, supplying cables and wires for solar, electronics, defence, infrastructure, and real estate. So, who is Rajat Agarwal? Perhaps a lucky man who spotted an opportunity, or is it something more?

Whenever an entrepreneur succeeds, stories of their past failures and detours become infamous. But if more people knew about Rajat's story, would they be more considerate of what their distractions and detours could lead to? Or is Rajat's story just the exception that proves the rule?

Despite his accomplishments, Rajat prefers to stay out of the spotlight. Our attempt to get in touch with him was unsuccessful, but if you do know Rajat Agarwal, we'd like to hear from you. Perhaps there is a book to be written, a documentary to be filmed, about this 15-year-old school dropout who defied the odds. The ending is still being written, but this story might just be one of success if Rajat gets it...
