Born into poverty, Bharat Jain's journey started in the streets, where he struggled to survive.

Because his family was so poor, Bharat Jain was forced to drop out of school at a young age.

With limited opportunities and resources, he resorted to begging to sustain himself and his parents.

Shockingly, today Bharat Jain owns a $1.45 million 2BHK flat in Mumbai and generates a monthly rental income of ₹40,000 from two shops in Thane.

Starting out by begging on high traffic streets, he amassed his fortune, which he then invested in real estate, opening two stores that also generated income.

Despite gathering wealth, he still continues to beg on the streets, perhaps due to habit or personal choice.
