Amalgamating Technology and Innovation For the Amoleration of Society
“I strive to make a meaningful difference in the world by following my passion and values.” This is the essence of Sunil Kishor Pathak’s life, and his work is a testament to his philosophy. Trying to improve the world one day at a time, he is a source of profound inspiration for millions of people as he excels in establishing meaningful solutions to combat societal challenges. A passionate person by heart, he has always pursued his heart’s true calling and trod on the path that has proven to be gloriously successful.
Regarding his various businesses, he says, “A passion for innovation and societal impact drives my business portfolio techpathak.com was created to help job seekers excel in technical interviews with a comprehensive question database. YummyInTummy, a community service, provides nutritious hot meals to needy children. Future ventures include tracking organic product details for consumer insights, AI-powered medicine vending machines for the elderly, and a QR-based marketplace for small merchants. The idea behind these ventures is to leverage technology to solve real-world problems, empower communities, and improve lives, aligning with my values of giving back to society and following one’s passion.”
Being supremely passionate about his work, he feels driven by curiosity and a desire to make a meaningful impact through innovation. Fusing technology with community service brings him the utmost joy when he sees the smile of a person he has helped. His biggest reward is seeing tangible results, empowering others, and creating new solutions. He remarks, “The principles of following one’s passion, never giving up, and dreaming big are my core motivators, driving me to strive for excellence and positively impact the world.”
Sunil faced several challenges in his journey, including resource constraints, balancing multiple responsibilities, engaging the community, and overcoming technical hurdles. But he overcome each challenge with perseverance and a commitment to excel in his field. He learned to juggle various ventures with effective time management skills during this process as YummyInTummy required community support; on the other hand, techpathak.com was involved in technical challenges. He feels his success in life was driven by hard work, reverberating Thomas Jefferson’s famous words, ‘I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.’
Having realised the importance of a healthy body and mind, Sunil regularly engages in sports like table tennis, badminton and tennis. He feels that if a person is capable and responsible, they can make a positive impact on the community and further mentor young talent. He strives to give back and make the elders happy by valuing their wisdom. In his experience, he came to the firm conclusion that true happiness and the real asset in life is one’s family.
When it comes to leadership, Sunil feels that its definition lies in inspiring and empowering others to achieve their best. He continues by saying, “A true leader fosters an environment of trust, innovation, and continuous learning. Rather than creating followers, a great leader focuses on developing more leaders. By nurturing potential, providing guidance, and encouraging independence, leaders can cultivate a team of capable individuals who are confident and motivated to lead themselves. This approach ensures sustainable growth and a positive, collaborative work culture.”
His worldview is derived from the idea that helping others is the greatest good for humanity. Channelling the same, his inspiration comes from innovation that leaves a positive societal impact. For Sunil, running a business where people work happily and support each other and ensuring their children receive quality education is not only a source of inspiration but also happiness for him. He aims to create a thriving community and subsequently establish an NGO that provides for underprivileged children and the elderly, which would effectively improve their lives.
He shares his pearls of wisdom extracted from his illustrious career and says, “Believe in yourself and your abilities. Embrace challenges as opportunities to grow, and never be afraid to take risks. Consistent effort, perseverance, and a positive mindset are key to overcoming obstacles. Always be open to learning and adapting. Surround yourself with supportive people who inspire you. Remember, success is not just about personal achievements but also about uplifting others and making a positive impact on your community. Dream big and work diligently towards your goals.”
