In the first edition of ‘My Way’ we bring to you Manu Srivastava, whose name is synonymous with renewable energy in India.
My Way
I begin my day with…
Exercise, yoga and running 10 kms. I energies my body, mind and soul. Renewable energy is something I do out of my interest and it’s my passion. SuBaH is blessed to help & set up solar projects and help over medical institutions all over the country with zero investments and leading to savings to day one. I also get opportunities sometimes with the initiatives with the world bank in various countries.
What keeps me going!
Films, read offbeat films. These days we don’t watch films in the theatre because of the pandemic but films in theatre are something which interests me. I also follow international politics out of my interest.
Family and work-life balance
My wife is additional director general in police department. My eldest daughter completed LLB from NUJS and younger one is pursuing Law from National University Bhopal. Whenever time permits, we have food together and always keep each-other informed. We make it a point to travel together at least once a year.
Growing up
I grew up in a very small town which was not even a tehsil headquarter. Our battles are our own to win & fight & the rewards are our own. Whatever investment you could make in your life, in study, in working hard, there can be no better investment than investing in education. Investment in making yourself a better person.
Author a book
Lot of my friends like you have always pushed me to do that. I have been contributing articles etc. but never think of it. This is something which is of interest to me. My family and my wife encourage me. Perhaps today’s discussion also encouraged me to do that.
My motto
Aim for only what you are doing well, everything good will follow.
For youngsters
