About Mr. Neelkantappa

Mr. Neelkantappa’s journey is a true example of determination, resilience and transformation. Born in a small village called Kuditini in Ballari district, Karnataka, he came from humble beginnings. After completing his PUC, he came to Bangalore with just ₹2 in his pocket, carrying a big dream to pursue Engineering. Life was challenging. With no opportunities, he struggled to survive, sometimes sleeping under a tree, hungry and uncertain. During this time, a kind-hearted lady helped him with food and connected him to a construction site owner who was a police inspector. Though initially strict, when he learned that Neelkantappa had completed PUC, he was surprised and decided to help him. Neelkantappa started working as a laborer at the construction site, carrying water and doing basic tasks holding on to hope. Later, he read about Chief Minister Devaraj Urs supporting students. With courage, he wrote a postcard requesting help for an engineering seat and received a positive response. At college, he faced another setback. The principal denied his preferred branch and pushed him into Electrical Engineering. Despite discouragement, he didn’t give up. He completed Electrical Engineering and started his career at BEML Limited, guided by his philosophy: “Say Yes to Responsibility.” Through dedication, he rose through the ranks and eventually retired as an AGM (Assistant General Manager) from BEML. After retirement, he entered businesses in insurance, health and wellness, building a strong and committed team.
