The Journey of Harish Tiwari to Harry Sir – Founder & President of Aagaaz Youth Club
Harish Tiwari’s story is one of incredible transformation—a journey from survival to purpose that inspires all who hear it. Born into humble beginnings, Harish started his life working in a small shop, sweeping floors, selling crackers, and managing a bakery. For years, he took on any job he could find, thinking that survival was all life could offer. But deep down, he knew he wanted more: he wanted to create something meaningful, not just for himself but for those around him.
His path forward wasn’t easy. In struggling to find purpose, he fell into habits that only pulled him further down—alcohol, cigarettes, and other poor choices took him away from the person he knew he could become. But in the middle of this darkness, Harish found a spark of hope and decided to fight his way out. He began teaching himself soft skills and personality development, determined to build a future beyond his circumstances. After a year of intense self-study and dedication, he transformed himself into a skilled communicator and mentor.
This was the moment Harish Tiwari became Harry Sir.
With his newfound purpose, Harry Sir founded Harry Sir Academy, offering coaching in spoken English, personality development, and essential life skills. Today, his academy has expanded to five branches across Uttarakhand, empowering countless students to dream bigger and achieve more. But his impact didn’t stop there.
Driven by a passion to bring joy and connection to society, Harry Sir founded Aagaaz Youth Club, a community dedicated to tackling the struggles of isolation and depression faced by many today. Through physical activities, meditation sessions, and engaging group events, Aagaaz Youth Club has become a refuge for individuals looking to rediscover happiness, build friendships, and reclaim their lives.
Harry Sir’s story is a powerful reminder of resilience and purpose. His journey from Harish Tiwari to Harry Sir is an inspiring example of how anyone, no matter their start, can become a force of positive change. He leads Aagaaz Youth Club with a simple yet profound mission: to bring health, happiness, and hope to all who need it, building a stronger, more connected society.
Dheeraj
Co Founder and secretary
From Humble Beginnings to Inspiring Change: A Journey of Strength and Purpose
Growing up in a modest village with few educational resources, he faced challenges early on. With limited access to learning and financial pressures, he took on work as a young boy to help support his family. His first job came when he was in the sixth grade, working at a local hotel, and by the time he completed tenth grade, he had taken on the physically demanding role of a horse rider, covering 50 kilometers each day. Balancing multiple jobs while studying taught him the value of resilience and the profound importance of education.
Determined to rise above his circumstances, he pursued higher studies and began searching for a mentor to guide him toward a more fulfilling path. This search led him to Harry Sir, whose mentorship helped him realize his potential in education. Embracing this new direction, he dedicated himself to teaching and spent the next eight years growing as an educator, learning not only to teach but also to help students overcome their own struggles.
Alongside his teaching career, he developed a passion for physical fitness, understanding its powerful connection to mental well-being. Committed to inspiring youth to lead balanced lives, he joined Aagaaz Youth Club as co-founder and secretary, championing initiatives in fitness, mental health, and environmental conservation.
Now, with extensive experience in teaching, fitness, and legal advocacy, he continues to lead by example, helping to reshape the lives of young people. His journey stands as a testament to resilience, transformation, and the impact of giving back through Aagaaz Youth Club’s powerful mission.

Ravindra Prasad
Advocacy and Content Advisor

From Adversity to Advocacy
Ravindra Prasad’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and purpose. Born in a small rural community, his early education was a daily ten-kilometer trek from home. Despite limited resources and tough circumstances, he persevered, completing both primary and secondary school while helping his family make ends meet. His dream of attending university, though difficult for his family to support, became a reality through sheer determination.
At university, financial struggles meant he couldn’t afford even basic needs, and he relied on the kindness of relatives for shelter. Soon, he found a job in the media sector, working as a content writer, but the job’s demands forced him to put college on hold. Although he loved his studies, life took him through several difficult paths—unfulfilled relationships, heartbreak, and periods of profound hardship.
When a stable career remained elusive, Ravindra tried multiple fields, from MNCs to the hospitality industry, ultimately working as a chef in a five-star hotel—a role he excelled in and loved. However, when the pandemic struck, his position was cut, and he found himself stranded in Mumbai, jobless and uncertain about the future. Returning home, Ravindra began a path of rebuilding from scratch, doing labor work to survive while reigniting his dream of education. Balancing jobs and night shifts as a content creator, he eventually graduated with a law degree and began working as a practitioner, focused on making a difference.
Joining Aagaaz Youth Club, Ravindra finally found an opportunity to give back to his community. His unique journey, tenacity, and content creation skills now enrich the club’s mission. Through his work, he hopes to inspire others facing adversity to persevere and find purpose in their own lives.

Raised by a hardworking family, with his grandmother as an early inspiration, he developed a love for physical activities from a young age. Throughout his school years, he excelled in running and fitness but struggled with a lean physique, which held him back from his dream of joining the armed forces.
Despite his dedication, he couldn’t pass the physical tests due to his physique. Feeling discouraged but determined, Navdeep completed his graduation and began working at a hotel to support himself. However, he soon realized his true calling lay in fitness. After earning a diploma in yoga, he felt closer to his purpose, but his lean frame still limited his self-confidence.
