Ashok Mittal is the founder and charmer of Lovely Professional University. This entropenior, born in Jalandar, studied at Guru Nanak Dev University. This man is perfect proof that, through hard work, you can do anything in your life. Born into a Marwadi family, Ashok Mittal's dad used to sell sweets in Jalandar. Starting from a small store in Jalandar to the biggest sweet provider in Punjab. Ashok Mittal got his interest in business from his dad.
At first, Ashok Mittal thought to start a dealership business for Bajaj scooters, but due to other businessmen who were already in this business, the Bajaj authority gave them approval and rejected Ashok Mittal. But after some time, somehow Ashok Mittal conferred Bajaj authority to give him the dealership, and looking at the positive attitude, he got the dealership, and those businessmen whose approval was permitted were rejected and handed over to Ashok Mittal.
After running the Bajaj dealership business successfully, Ashok Mittal thought about building a university and entering the education business. Also, after a lot of brain teasers, he got approval from the government. Some people also criticise Ashok Mittal, saying Ashok Mittal is a sweet shop owner, How a mithai wala will sell degrees, and that we can't give our children's futures to a mithai wala.
After all this, Ashok Mittal ignored all this and started working towards his goal. Now, Lovely Professional University has more than 35,000 students. The roller coaster ride of Ashok Mittal is always inspiring for the youth.
