“Life has taken me in different directions that I never imagined. From dropping out of high school due to financial difficulties to driving a Truck and eventually running a successful YouTube channel, it’s been a journey full of unexpected turns. Recently, I’ve taken two more steps: starting the Mana Foundation to do my bit for society and also venturing into the Travel and Tourism business by providing bus services.

Growing up, life wasn’t easy. My family often struggled to afford even one proper meal a day. When I moved to Hyderabad, I couldn’t even pay rent at first. I took up whatever jobs I could find to get by. Starting as a cab driver, I ferried employees around areas like Madhapur and Gachibowli. Eventually, I learned to drive Heavy vehicles and became a Truck driver.

The YouTube channel began as a simple idea. I wanted to record my travels, showing the roads I took and the work I did. Over time, Mana Truck Vlogs became a space to share the everyday life of a truck driver-the challenges, the places we visit, the food, and the people we meet along the way.

I’ve always been an animal lover and have been involved in small acts of animal welfare whenever I could. That same love for helping others inspired me to start the Mana Foundation. Through it, I try to support those in need by providing food, clothes, and basic help. Giving back feels right, especially after receiving so much support during my own journey.

Thanks to the encouragement from my viewers, my well wishers, I was able to buy two new tricks today. It’s a big step for me and a reminder of how far I’ve come. My dream is to keep traveling, discovering new places, and sharing stories that bring people together.

One thing I’ve realized through this journey is how important drivers are-whether they’re truck drivers, bus drivers, or anyone who spends their life on the road. They’re the backbone of transportation, and yet their work often goes unnoticed. A little respect and kindness toward them can go a long way.”
