Dr Ajit Ravi's life has been nothing less than a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. He is now back at the helm as the chairman of Pegasus Global Private Ltd but the one who conceptualised the string of prestigious beauty pageants, had to be away from his business empire for a span of five years, during which period he handed over the responsibilities to his wife Jebitha Ajit.
It is fascinating to listen to his story of blood, sweat, tears and triumph.
Let us go back in time to 2001 when a catastrophe in the form of a road accident turned his life upside down. Ajit was barely 23 years old when his beloved sister and brotherin-law died in that tragic accident.
He was then working as an airport staff at Cochin International Airport Ltd, earning barely Rs 3,000 per month, and in the aftermath of the tragic event, he had a big financial obligation on his shoulders due to the unaffordable hospital expenditure. He now had the additional responsibility of raising his sister's children, and he accepted it stoically.
Ajit's meagre earnings, however, were insufficient to support his extended family. He opted to enter the world of fashion and entertainment with a lot of grit and perseverance. He was an ardent Amitabh Bachchan fan who was astounded and impressed by Mr Bachchan's organisation of the Miss World Pageant in Bangalore. When Ajit's favourite actor brought the world-famous pageant to India in 1996, it was a truly inspiring moment for him. But it wasn't until much later that Ajit learned about the massive financial crisis that Mr Bachchan and his firm ABCL had to deal with as a result of this single event. However, this did not douse his enthusiasm, and he bravely pushed ahead to make inroads into the world of fashion, which even the mighty Amitabh Bachchan had failed to conquer.
