From Silence to Significance

By Dhananjay Kumudini Shingroop


There was a time when I thought my story had ended before it even began. I still remember the day I walked out of my polytechnic college-empty - handed, broken inside, and ashamed. The only subject I had passed in my first year was ‘Communication Skill.’ Ironically, the very skill that would later become my strength. But back then, I felt like the biggest failure in my mother’s eyes. She had dreamt of seeing me become an engineer. I had dreamt of making her proud. But all I had were failed attempts and an admission slip that never matured into a diploma. I wandered in silence for years -frustrated, jobless, directionless. Friends moved ahead. Cousins flourished. And I... just kept hiding my truth. Inside, though, a fire was kindling.
The Turning Point Years later, I stood at a dusty bus stop near my home when I saw a child crying, unable to spell a simple English word. His parents had left him at a coaching class that cared little. I sat with him. I taught him, not for fees - but because I wanted to feel useful. That was the spark. I enrolled for English Literature and Social Studies, embracing the very language I had once underestimated. And this time - I soared. I didn’t just pass. I excelled. Today, people know me for the very skill I once considered my weakest -  language. The irony still makes me smile.
Building a Mission, Not a Career Alongside my mother - my first teacher - I started Shree Shiv Samarth Scholars Classes in 1996. Our mission? To prepare students for the State Board Scholarship Exams with not just syllabus knowledge, but samskaras - values. Since then, over 25 of our students have secured top positions. Many still return to touch our feet. That’s success to me. As time moved on, so did the mission. I launched Mission Abhyas Sanskar - a powerful awareness movement for students and parents. We travelled to schools, villages, urban hubs - reminding families that education is not about marks; it’s about mindset.
The Writer Within I began expressing myself through words - poems, articles, essays in Marathi, Hindi, and English. My works have been featured in reputed newspapers like Daily Deshonnati, Lokmat, Matrubhoomi, The Hitavada, and in popular magazines like Amrut, Zep, and Diwali Ank. But nothing humbled me more than the day the legendary Ratnakar Matkari praised my Marathi poem ‘Lachaka Todnyasathi Wakhwakhlele’. That single line of appreciation wiped out years of self-doubt.
Digital Swaraj & The Rise of IEE In 2016, I founded Digital Swaraj - a vision to empower youth to reclaim their intellectual freedom online. Not through distractions - but through direction. Later, in 2023, we launched the Internet Education Empire (IEE) - a dynamic learning ecosystem for the inter NetGeneration. Through online and offline platforms, we’re helping students find meaning, build skills, and unlock their brilliance. And what touches me most? When students say,
"Sir, I joined for grammar… but I stayed for the inspiration."
GrowEng Studies and Trainings: Strong Foundation, Stronger Future To serve school-going students even better, I designed GrowEng Studies and Trainings  (GST) - a dedicated offline/onsite platform for students of all boards (State, CBSE, ICSE) from 7th to 12th standard. Through GrowEng, we offer intensive academic coaching, personalized attention, English fluency training, and success mentorship - all under one roof. Parents trust it. Students love it. Results prove it. This is where future toppers are being shaped.
My Courses Are Not Just Lessons -They Are Light Whether you’re a student struggling with self-doubt, a parent seeking the right mentor for your child, or a teacher looking to evolve -  you’ll find yourself in my journey.
And I invite you to walk with me. Explore my courses. Read my writings. Join my mission. Let your child or student not repeat the mistakes I once did. Let them grow with guidance, not just guesswork.
A Final Word From My Heart to Yours I’m not a perfect man. I’m a man who failed, got up, and chose to rewrite his story. If you’ve ever felt broken, lost, or left behind - please know this:
You’re not too late. You’re just on your way. Let me walk with you. Welcome to my world of Digital Swaraj,
Welcome to the Internet Education Empire (IEE),
Welcome to the growth platform GrowEng Studies and Trainings (GST),
Welcome to the journey of turning setbacks into shining success. Let’s begin. -
