Navin Gulia is been through a lot of hardships where he was in ICU, MH Dehradun, airlifted to Army Hospital, Delhi and then operated, transferred to MH Kirkee, Pune. He never lost hope, these incidents made him even stronger for achieving his goals in life. Navin Sir truly believes in accepting failures and strives hard for success.
He runs a Social Welfare Organization called ADAA aka “Apni Duniya Apna Ashiana” for underprivileged children. Deepa Govekar helps him with the trust work.
