Sharma’s life was not limited to Chaiwalas. He was also involved in social work and public speaking and had built a following on social media.
His family background was rooted in Dausa. His father, Hitendra Mohan Sharma, runs a medical store, while his wife works as a teacher at a private school.
Sharma is survived by his wife and their seven-year-old son.
For those who knew him, his death marks the loss of a young businessman who began working towards his ambitions at an unusually early age.
Police investigation underway
Police said Sharma’s death was reported from his Dausa residence on Saturday. His body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem examination.
The exact circumstances surrounding his death remain under investigation, and police have not yet established a reason.
His journey, meanwhile, has drawn renewed attention to the life of a young entrepreneur who started a tea company at 17, expanded it to several outlets, earned recognition for his work and later moved away from business towards spirituality.
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of his death.
