Building a successful business with a tiny investment is a monumental task which only a few entrepreneurs have been able to accomplish. One such inspiring success story is that of  Pramod Kumar Bhadani, a man from Gaya, Bihar, who began his entrepreneurial journey with just Rs 2,500 by selling laddus on a pushcart, and today runs a lucrative business with an annual turnover of over Rs 50 crore.

Who is Pramod Kumar Bhadani?

A native of Gaya in Bihar, Pramod Kumar Bhadani was born into an impoverished household and spent his childhood in poverty as his father sold laddus on a pushcart to provide three square meals to the family. Pramod attended a local government school but dropped out at the age of 14 as he wanted to support his family by helping his father in selling laddus.

Pramod and his brother borrowed a meagre sum of Rs 2500 from their father and began selling laddus on a cart in their hometown. Soon, their succulent laddus became famous among locals and business boomed. However, Pramod Kumar Bhadani was not content with selling laddus on a cart, and wanted to expand his business at a much larger scale.

Pramod’s first big break came when he transitioned from selling laddus on his cart to opening a small sweets shop. Business grew rapidly after that and soon he began started supplying his homemade laddus to other parts of Bihar and later to Jharkhand and other neighbouring states.
