Born in a Gujarati family at Ahmedabad in 1976, Vishal was always interested in meeting people since his childhood. As a child he used to enjoy visiting people with his parents or entertain guests at home.
As he grew up his count of friends of both genders and different age group began to increase. He completed his graduation in 1997 and started his own career in 1999 by working for a manufacturing unit. He had already gained basics of an office environment while studying in college due to his involvement of running errands in the business of his father (Engineering Consultant) and his brother (IT Techie). Now with more than 17 years of experience in different industries and diverse verticals he has met lot of people closely observing them apart from performing his primary function.
In his life span till now, he has encountered many serious incidents with himself like which were much fatal physically and much stressful emotionally but he has managed to pass them all. What he learnt from these incidents that more you speak up your mind to somebody, you get the positivity to handle the situation in a much better way. He felt that stress comes when you deny yourself the expressing of your genuine feelings for fear of judgment.
His activity of observing people under various situations and he himself being part of certain stressful times of life, he often wondered how can people become stress free making their own life joyful instead of complicated given any situation or circumstances. He often used to listen to few of his many friends about their issues. They would just keep talking out their frustration about something while he would actively listening to them – at the end of the outburst they would say “Thanks yaar, felt good that someone listened to me”. This compliment gave him an idea that this is his strength – Listening to people – why can’t this skill be taken to people and support them to live a better life. With this inspiration in mind he came up with Green Apple.
