IT’S ALWAYS TRUE THAT SUCCESS HAS NO AGE REQUIREMENTS AND WHEN YOU HAVE PASSION FOR SOMETHING THEN YOU TEND NOT ONLY TO BE BETTER AT IT, BUT YOU WORK HARD AT IT TOO….
These lines perfectly represent Tilak Mehta, a 15-year-old guy who is the founder and CEO of his own tech company with an annual turnover of 100 crores.
PERFECTLY STATED BY MR. AMBANI “THE SUCCESS OF THE YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR WILL BE THE KEY TO INDIA’S TRANSFORMATION IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM.”
And Tilak Mehta steps out to be one of the examples in front of us.
Let’s know more about his success story and his advice for young youth.
TILAK MEHTA: WHO IS HE?
Tilak Mehta is one of India's youngest entrepreneurs and a TEDx speaker. He started his first business at the young age of 13 and started an online platform that helps society with his idea.
He is the founder of Papers N Parcels- Wonder Preneurs, and Youngest Entrepreneur Awardee through the hands of the honorable Mrs Amruta Fandanvis, The Youngest Panelist Ever in the history of the most coveted Forbes leadership awards 2018, and also a trendy celebrity featuring in OMG- Yeh Mera India- one of the most popular and a true saluting program acknowledging the real talent of India. He is also a serialized speaker at various acclaimed industry conferences and platforms and is quoted regularly in all leading Media Channels and Newspapers.
ALL ABOUT HIS BUSINESS: HOW IT STARTED AND THE IDEA BEHIND IT?
Tilak Mehta is a young achiever whose business is based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and his company “Papers N Parcels”? was established in 2018.
It all happened because of the ‘ART OF FORGETTING THINGS’ as mentioned by him. He forgot some books in his uncle's house which was far from his city and the books were extremely urgent for him. So he called his father to bring his books but his father was very busy and tired from his office work.?
So, the young boy searched Google courier companies but all of them were super expensive.
Then this inspired him to solve this issue for all who have faced these kinds of issues like him.
The idea of his company Paper N Parcels is a delivery service platform for all kinds of necessary, everyday items, from pick-up to doorstep delivery. In this mission, he took the help of Mumbai DABBAWALAS. Initially, he started to deliver small couriers within 24 hours to more than 1000 people at a reasonable price which received a great response. Later with time his company and idea achieved a turnover of Rs 100 crore per year.

Tilak also shares that he wants his startup to keep growing, earn profit, and inspire many other people.
Tilak Mehta's success is also possible because of his hard work, dedication, and his zeal to accomplish his goals. He is a young mind ready for every opportunity in his way and willing to take risks. The biggest risk he took in his life was of starting his own startup which resulted in inspiring many people and paid off making him a successful and one of the youngest Indian entrepreneurs.
TILAK MEHTA ALSO PROVES THAT
YOU DON’T NEED TO HAVE AN MBA. ALL YOU NEED IS TO MASSIVE ACTION. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE AND YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH IT.
WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT
AGE IS A QUESTION OF MIND OVER MATTER. IF YOU DON’T MIND, IT DOESN’T MATTER.
