From earlier interview with Organiser Weekly: Fulfilling Social Responsibility
Ranked as the 59th richest Indian with a net worth of Rs. 18,000 crores, Sridhar’s identification with this village (Govindaperi) is 100 per cent./It’s a sight to see at the end of his morning walk around the village, having morning tea at a local shop in the village, where residents want to chat with him. His engagement with all age groups is a must watch. About 80 young boys and girls in fresh attire, coming out of their houses walking along, sharing stories with him in the non-formal school he’s started. His idea of a school sharing his rural empowerment vision has resulted in the much needed social harmony.
