l Neelam Singh, a native of Agra, always dreamed of starting her own business during her MBA days. Inspired by the lack of affordable, youth-friendly restaurants in her hometown, she decided to enter the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) industry.

She interned at a restaurant during her MBA, which gave her valuable experience. After working in the corporate world for nearly three years, she launched The Burger Company (TBC) in 2018. Her first outlet was a small 250 sq ft shop in Palam Vihar, Gurugram. Today, TBC is a successful burger chain with 100 outlets across India and over ₹40 crore in revenue.

Neelam studied BBA from Dayalbagh Educational Institute in Agra and completed her MBA in Marketing from ICFAI Hyderabad. A turning point came during a college fest when she ran a food stall that made ₹1 lakh profit in just 3 days-this gave her the confidence that food had strong business potential. After marrying Nitesh Dhankhar in 2014, Neelam began saving aggressively to fund her dream. While working at ICICI Lombard, she cut all extra expenses-skipped office lunches, ate roadside meals, and endured emotional lows. Yet, within 8 months, she saved ₹5 lakh

on her own, despite having no support from

her in-laws.In 2016, she quit her job and spent 10 months planning and setting up her first outlet. She handled everything herself-from finding the location to cleaning the kitchen. Her pet dog Bruno even became a mascot for the outlet, which customers affectionately called the "puppy café."

Even during the COVID-19 lockdown, Neelam didn't give up. She used the time to plan TBC's expansion. In October 2020, she sold her first franchise in Delhi. Today, TBC is run mostly through franchises, with just one company-owned outlet.

Neelam now leads 9 Plates Hospitality Pvt Ltd, the parent company of TBC. In 2021, her husband joined the business, helping with marketing, development, and finance. Her story is a perfect example of how grit, smart planning, and belief in oneself can turn even the smallest start into a huge success.

l Gangaram Ji: The Unsalaried Sentinel of Service 🙏🚦

In a world where most expect recognition or compensation for their efforts, 70-year-old Gangaram Ji stands as a remarkable example of selfless public service. For the past 32 years, he has been managing traffic — without pay, without uniform, and without any official post — driven solely by a deep sense of duty and compassion.

Every single morning, Gangaram Ji arrives at his local traffic point. Dressed in simple clothes, with no ID or formal training, he directs vehicles, eases traffic jams, and helps children and the elderly cross the road safely — with the dedication of a trained traffic officer.

There’s no quest for fame or reward in his actions. When asked, “What do you gain from this?”, he replies with a serene smile:
“Peace and contentment.”

Though he has received occasional acknowledgments from local authorities, his true reward lies in the gratitude and blessings of those he helps daily. The local community holds him in high regard, treating him as an unsung hero.

His story reminds us of a simple truth: you don’t need a title to serve — only intent.
Gangaram Ji is the quiet strength behind society — humble, tireless, and inspiring.

A heartfelt salute to Gangaram Ji. 🙌
May we all learn from his example and find ways to serve — no matter how small. 🌼
