The story I am about to tell traverses the fascinating world of a young boy and his journey to adulthood. And during this journey, he tells a riveting story of discovery – of his journey and self discovery. It’s about a young and determined individual who faced financial obstacles but remained committed to achieving his goals. Interwoven in his journey, we unravel how the world of technology unravels.
Murari Lal was just like any other boy growing up in a bustling locality in a vibrant city. He imbibed the vibrancy and had his playful side. But there was another side to him, too. At the tender age of 10, Murari was captivated by the mesmerising world of video games. However, a price tag of Rs.2000 hung heavily over his dreams, a sum far beyond the confines of his modest pocket money, that amounted to a mere Rs.50 per month.
But the money did not seem to be an obstacle in achieving his dream. He remained focused on his important goal. He was determined to be smart with his money and found help at the local Ramlal Bank to start his financial journey. He saved Rs.20 from his monthly pocket money, resisted the temptation and deposited whatever money he got on festivals in that account to make his dream come true.
Time passed. Festivals came & went. The temptations were all there. But his dream & determination was greater than all of these. After patiently waiting for two years, Murari’s hard work with money paid off, and festivities brought in extra money, Murari remained determined. He felt proud and satisfied when he had Rs.2000 in his hands. It showed he didn’t give up and was smart with his money. This was just the beginning of Murari’s journey to learn how to handle money well, and he never forgot this important lesson.
When he was 13, he had to buy groceries for his family. This allowed him to learn even more about managing money, and it happened at a local store.
With his mom’s shopping lists, Murari regularly went to the nearby grocery store. But there was a surprising twist: the store owner didn’t immediately ask for payment. Instead, they sent someone to collect the money at the end of the month. Murari realised that this system was similar to how credit and credit cards work, which got him thinking about the complex world of finance that he would soon learn about.
As Murari’s life story progressed, taking him through college and into the world of startups, his journey blended perfectly with the growing world of technology. He named his business ‘Murari Lal & Co’ and approached RamLal Bank to seek financial assistance and was introduced to how RamLal bank can extend a loan to him against the machinery he would procure and purchase orders he got as well as help him manage his month to month cash requirements by giving him money against the invoices he would raise to his clients.
