- 15:11You Don't Get What You Deserve, You Get What You Ask For | Pratham Jindal | TEDxPURC LudhianaThrough humour, honesty, and hard-earned lessons, Pratham Jindal reveals the psychology behind why most people never ask for what they want — and how breaking through the Wall (fear), the Fog (assumption), and the Mirror (ego) can unlock life-changing opportunities.This talk isn’t just about business. It’s about courage, communication, and confidence — and how a single question can open doors you never thought possible. Without investors, family wealth, or venture capital, Pratham Jindal scaled Praper Media into a 75+ employee company. His experience in bootstrapping a business makes him a role model for self-made entrepreneurs. His story isn’t just about success—it’s about exponential growth. In just a few years, he scaled from earning INR 7,000 per month to running an 8-figure agency, proving the power of persistence and smart execution. Coming from Goniana, Punjab—a place with limited opportunities—he overcame infrastructure challenges, including poor internet, and no industry exposure, to build an international company. His story challenges societal norms and inspires young minds to think beyond the conventional.
