One of the biggest lessons to learn from Lovely Professional Universitys Chancellor Ashok Mittals life is to always follow your calling. Its the path this son of a sweetmeat shop owner has taken. Ever the obedient child, he studied law from Guru Nanak Dev University because that was his fathers wish. Then he joined his father and two elder brothers in the family businessonly that wasnt enough for him. With his fathers blessings, Mittal first ventured into the automobile field, then into telecommunications and did remarkably well. Along the way, he realised that his heart lay in doing something big in the field of higher education. So thats what he attempted next.
