Yesterday, this newspaper ran a report about Raju Yadav, a former tea delivery boy who was recently promoted to the post of web developer at a matrimonial portal called Shaadi.com. The portal has its office at Tardeo. Raju’s chai-to-office chair story is truly inspiring and encapsulates the Mumbai dream.

A boy from Jharkhand leaves his home at 13, after dropping out of school. He has one aim, to alleviate the poverty and suffering of his family back home. He finds a job as a chai delivery boy in SoBo, then gets a break as an administrative assistant in the Shaadi.com office. After 10 years, he takes up an offer to become a web developer in the shaadi.com office.
