Vinkal Kotangale

Vinkal Kotangale grew up in a small Indian town, where limited means taught him resilience, gratitude, and the joy of little things.

An Electrical Engineer, a former Government Officer, an MBA from IIM Mumbai, and now a Management Consultant, Vinkal shares stories that are as much about people and kindness as they are about his own life. Through his stories, he celebrates how growing up with less can teach us to truly live with more.
