Rohit, now aims to fulfil his father — Raj Juriasinghani’s dream of becoming an engineer.

We wanted to raise our children according to Hindu tradition,” said Juriasinghani.
It was not an easy decision for the family which had to sell the ancestral house before migrating to India. “I had a wholesale shop of leather bags which was doing well. At that time, Rohit was in class two. Though he was studying in English medium school, there they were imparting education in foreign languages which made things difficult for him,” said Juriasinghani, who struggling to settle business here.
Rohit, who helps his father in his business, said it was quite difficult for him to switch over to new environment. “I had to leave my childhood friends and it was quite tough to adjust initially. But thanks to school authorities who helped me achieve success,” an elated Rohit said.
