Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma: A Life Fueled by Purpose, Built on Principles
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma’s journey stands as a powerful example of how vision, discipline and service can shape a remarkable life.

This biography is more than a personal account, it is a beacon of what’s possible when courage meets conviction. Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma reminds us that leadership is not about where you begin, but how boldly you walk your path and how many you uplift along the way.
Dedication
“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” — Oprah Winfrey
With heartfelt gratitude to my Guru Ji, Benimadhav R. Tripathi, whose timeless wisdom and grace lit the inner path when all seemed uncertain. His guidance remains my compass, his presence my light.
This biography is also a tribute to my parents, whose silent strength and values shaped my very foundation. All that I am is a reflection of their enduring legacy.
To my father: Late Mr. Jamuna Prasad Vishwakarma your quiet strength, unwavering discipline and dedication to your work as a private company employee taught me more about
responsibility than any textbook ever could. You never preached, you led by example. I watched you rise each day with purpose, never seeking recognition, but always giving your best. It is from you I inherited the belief that success is earned, never given. Your memory continues to inspire me to work with integrity and to live with dignity.
To my mother, Late Mrs. Shanti Vishwakarma, with deepest love and eternal respect, your love was my first classroom, your patience my first teacher. Though known as a homemaker, you were nothing less than a warrior in spirit. You built our home not just with hands, but with values, dignity and quiet determination. Despite suffering from chronic asthma since childhood, you never allowed your pain to come in the way of your responsibilities. You placed your children’s needs above your own health, without complaint or hesitation, choosing love over comfort and duty over rest. In life’s most uncertain moments, your strength rose far above every challenge. You taught me that kindness is not weakness but quiet power and that listening, forgiving and loving deeply are the true measures of character. Your silent sacrifices and timeless values remain the compass by which I navigate every step of my personal and professional life. I carry your spirit within me, always.
To my wife, Mrs. Indu Vishwakarma, the lifeline of my existence, your unwavering strength has been the quiet force behind every step of my journey. I am alive today only because of you. When I was on the edge, facing acute kidney failure, it was your unwavering dedication and care that pulled me back from the brink. You didn’t just treat me; you gave me a new life. I will carry that gratitude in my heart forever. In moments of joy, you stood beside me with grace; but in times of illness, fear and uncertainty, your silent courage became my anchor. Your love gave me the strength to rise when I faltered, to keep going when the path was unclear. You are not just my life partner, you are the soul of our family, the steady hand that holds us all together and the unshakable pillar upon which my life rests. I am forever grateful for you.
To my children, Akshita, my daughter and Tanuj, my son, you are not just my reason to rise each morning with purpose, you are my strength, my pride and my greatest inspiration. You are the reason I wake up each day with purpose and determination. Every effort I make, every challenge I face and every success I achieve is with you in my heart. You are the future I believe in, the dreams I work for and the pride I carry in my soul. I dedicate this biography to the dreams you carry and the people you are becoming. May you grow to value both humility and ambition and may you always know that your father’s love is the firmest foundation beneath your feet.
To my extended family: your encouragement, understanding and presence in my life have been invaluable. You helped shape the man behind the lawyer, grounding me in the traditions and lessons that will never be forgotten, no matter how far I travel or how high I climb.
This dedication also belongs to every mentor, my revered Law Guru, as well as every colleague and legal warrior who has crossed paths with me through the years. From the buzzing chambers of law firms to the structured corridors of corporate giants, from the intensity of courtrooms to the strategy rooms of the corporate world, you have shaped my journey in ways words can barely capture. You sharpened my mind, expanded my vision and pushed me toward excellence. Whether you walked beside me for a brief moment or many miles, your presence has left an enduring mark. I carry your lessons with humility and deep gratitude.
Remember, resilience isn’t built in comfort, it is born when you rise from discomfort with dignity. And above all, never forget your duty to be the voice for those who go unheard. That, more than anything, defines the soul of a truly noble legal professional.
This biography may carry my name, but its soul belongs to all those who stood by me. It is not just a record of my journey, it is a collective testament to the faith that uplifted me, the strength that carried me and the family that never let me fall. This is our story, shaped by shared courage and quiet sacrifices. Thank you for believing in me, even when the path was unclear.
Phase 1: A Journey Carved from Scratch
“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” , Oprah Winfrey
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma’s story is not one of shortcuts or privileges. It’s the story of a man who started with nothing and built everything on his own. Today, he is respected by people across the country and even outside India. He has received many awards from college and corporate world and is known for his deep knowledge and experience. But what truly makes his journey special is that there was no one to open doors for him. He had no family background in law, no powerful contacts and no one to guide him. Everything he has today is because of his focus, hard work and strong belief in himself.
From a young age, he had a dream to do something big. He was the first in his entire family to become a lawyer. The path he chose was not easy. The field he entered is known for giving more importance to people with strong contacts or family names. But he stepped into it with just one thing which was his dedication. And that was more than enough.
There were many times when he felt alone. He didn’t have anyone to lean on. But even in those tough moments, he kept going. Many people in his place would have given up, but not Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma. He chose to walk the hard path and he did it with courage. What made him different was not just his ability to handle work well, it was his deep desire to do something meaningful. He didn’t want to be just another person doing a job. He wanted to bring change and he did.
There were days when even basic needs were hard to manage. He had no financial help, no connections and no one to guide him. Still, he didn’t stop. He worked twice as hard as others. Life tested him in every possible way, but he kept moving forward. He turned every problem into a lesson. What he didn’t get in support, he made up for with sharp thinking, discipline and a never-give-up attitude. Nothing came easy to him, he earned every bit of success with his own efforts.
As a child, he had seen the pain of common people, students being ignored, patients suffering without help and people feeling helpless against big systems. These were real things he saw every day. Instead of turning away from these problems, he decided to fight for them. Even before he became a lawyer, the fire to stand up for what’s right was already in him.
Today, his work and achievements speak for themselves. From handling serious cases to guiding teams and building strong systems, he has done it all and more than once. He never worked to show off. He worked with purpose. People trust him not just for his work but also for his honesty, sense of responsibility and strong judgment.
Even with all this success, he remains simple and down to earth. He never shows off his achievements and never judges anyone by their background or money. What matters to him is honesty, hard work and knowledge. That’s why he connects so well with people not just as a professional, but as a human being who truly listens and understands.
His family has always been his strength. His wife stood by him through every up and down. She was his biggest support, quietly managing everything at home while he worked long hours. Their relationship is built on deep respect and shared values. Their children have grown up with these same values, discipline, love and purpose. Whether it was a big win or a tough case, his family has always been his biggest support and motivation.
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma is not just successful, he is a self-made man. His story is not about comfort or ease. It’s about standing tall even when the world doesn’t know your name and leaving that place with everyone remembering it. He didn’t wait for chances, he created them. He didn’t wait for someone to give him a seat, he made his own space.
This is the story of a man who came from nothing and had the courage to become everything. And this is only the beginning.
Phase 2: T he Foundations of Early Life
“Let your smile change the world, but don’t let the world change your smile.” , Connor Franta
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma was born in Mumbai in 1976, in a modest home where dreams were big but means were limited. His father worked in a private limited company and his mother was a devoted homemaker who built the warmth and discipline that anchored the family. Life during those days wasn’t easy as resources were minimal and luxuries were rare. But what the family lacked in wealth, they made up for with constant support, quiet strength and deeply rooted values. There were no shortcuts, no special advantages and certainly no ready-made paths to success. Everything had to be built from the ground up.
Growing up in the narrow lanes of Mumbai, Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma quickly understood the meaning of discipline, sacrifice and self-respect. His parents never allowed hardship to become a reason to give up; instead, they turned every challenge into a lesson for him. His father, though not highly paid, carried immense dignity in his work and always spoke of doing things the right way, even if it took longer. His mother, with her nurturing spirit, made sure the home remained a place of emotional strength, no matter what the world outside looked like.
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma grew up in deep poverty, but he and his siblings never let it steal their happiness. There were many days when they had almost nothing, no fancy clothes, no toys, sometimes not even enough food. But they still smiled, played together and found joy in small things. They ran barefoot in the streets, shared notebooks and helped each other with schoolwork. Their parents gave them love and values, not money or gifts and that made all the difference. Even when life was hard, they stayed strong, because they had each other.
At school, Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma was a sharp observer and a quiet performer. He didn’t always have the latest books, fancy uniforms, or tutors, but he had a hunger to learn. His parents could not afford the extras, but they never let him feel small for it. Instead, they gave him something far more valuable, which was the confidence in his character. They raised him to believe that knowledge had nothing to do with cost and that respect is earned, not bought. It was this belief that carried Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma forward, even when others had more resources, more guidance and more privilege.
The values taught at home shaped his entire personality. Honesty, humility and high standards were lived every day. There were no grand speeches, no loud lessons, just examples from life. When Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma saw his father refusing to take unethical shortcuts at work, or his mother managing the household with dignity despite limited means, those images stayed with him. They quietly taught him that strength doesn’t always look like aggression; sometimes, it looks like calm, unshaken integrity.
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma’s journey into the world of law did not begin with privilege, power, or pedigree. He came from humble beginnings without the cushion of inherited wealth, elite institutions, or family connections in the legal fraternity. But what he lacked in material comfort, he made up for in self-discipline, purpose and an inbuilt drive to rise. In his early home, conversations weren’t about status or shortcuts, but about doing the right thing, no matter how hard it was. This silent foundation of values built his mindset, brick by brick.
Even as a young student, there were early signs of the leader and advocate he would become. He stood up when others stayed quiet. He helped classmates who were overlooked. He didn’t chase applause, he simply did what felt right. These instincts were not taught but were part of who he was. Struggles didn’t shake him, they trained him. Financial hardships never became an excuse. They became his fuel. Academic pressures didn’t break his spirit; they sharpened it. While others waited for guidance, Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma taught himself how to lead.
Phase 3: Four Plates, One Soul
“Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you.” , Walt Whitman
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma grew up in a small, modest home. The house had thin walls but inside, it was filled with warmth, laughter and togetherness. He was one of four children, one brother
and two sisters. They didn’t have many comforts, but they had something far more important: a strong bond with each other and parents who loved them deeply.
Life wasn’t easy. There were times when the kitchen had only a little rice and some borrowed oil. But when their mother served the food with her tired hands and a soft smile, it somehow felt special, like a celebration. The children never complained. They had learned early that happiness didn’t come from things; it came from moments, from love and from being together.
Every morning, they walked to school hand in hand. They shared everything including books, meals and dreams. After school, they played in the sun, got dirty, laughed loudly and returned home tired but happy. These simple days created memories that stayed with Rakesh forever.
His father was a quiet man who believed in living with honesty and dignity. He didn’t talk much, but his actions spoke loudly. He worked hard, never made excuses and always taught his children to stand strong without ever needing to say the words.
His mother was the heart of the home. She managed everything with care, giving more to her children than she ever kept for herself. She taught them what sacrifice meant, long before they even understood the meaning of the word.
As time passed, Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma started feeling a deep sense of responsibility. Being the eldest, he felt it was his duty to take care of his family, to keep them close and to make sure they were safe and happy. When his siblings grew older, they got married, moved to different cities and started their own lives. The house that was once loud and lively became quieter. But Rakesh stayed. In his heart, he was still the same elder brother, always watching over them, always ready to help.
Even now, no matter how far life has taken them, he keeps in touch with each one, remembering birthdays, sending help when needed and silently carrying the role of the guardian. He doesn’t talk about it much, but the love he holds for his family is deep and unshakable.
People often measure success by wealth or fame. But for Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma, true success has always been about family, about seeing his siblings smile, knowing they are doing well and feeling proud that he played a part in their happiness. He believes that while life moves on, the love shared in childhood never fades. It stays, quietly sitting in the corners of the heart, always alive, always enough.
Dr. Rakesh Vishwakarma’s story is proof that even if you start with nothing, if you have love, you already have everything.
