One day, Tilak Mehta accidentally left his school books at his uncle’s house and couldn’t get them back with same-day shipping. He had exams the next day and was frustrated with his predicament, but that sparked an idea. Introducing: Paper n’ parcels, a same-day book delivery service that operates within the city. With a little help from his father and collaboration with a local shipping provider, Tilak got his business up and running in 2018, and the profits starting rolling in! He continued to expand his business and by 2021, he transformed his business into a multimillion dollar success.

The resilience and creativity of a 13 year old boy from India shows that with a little effort and innovation, anyone can accomplish their entrepreneurial dreams. Tilak’s Story serves as an example and an inspiration to young entrepreneurs. He saw a need, and he found a new way to fill it. That is how to do good business.

The thing that makes me curious about this story is the business concept itself. Amazon had already reached India by the time of this business startup, so Tilak was facing a worthy competitor. I haven’t found much more information about this business either, which makes the whole thing much more interesting. I’m curios what you guys think though!
