His father called it the game of fate. He saw a gap that could be filled. That idea is the heart of his new book.

New Delhi: As a schoolboy, Ravi Kapoor noticed that some classmates arrived in cars while his father dropped him on a bicycle. When he asked why, his father told him it was a matter of fate. Ravi Kapoor did not see fate. He saw a gap that he could choose to fill. Decades later, that thought became his book, SUCCESS BY CHANCE OR CHOICE, launched at Prerna Utsav 4.0 in New Delhi on October 25, 2026.
The turning points
- A middle-class childhood: his father worked a job, and his mother knitted sweaters.
- An article in Employment News: he read about a course in gems and jewellery.
- A course in diamond cutting and polishing: followed by practical training in how the market worked.
- 1998: he began his journey in the gemstone business, building it as a first-generation venture.
- 2025: he launched Gemwix, a certified gemstone brand.
He shared these memories in his interview on Kuch Ankaha with Yashika.
“Business” was always the answer
He recalled that whenever someone at school asked about his hobby, his answer was the same: business. He also tried several things and left them when they did not satisfy him, because his ambitions were bigger.
What he told the audience
At the launch, Ravi Kapoor said success is not decided by luck alone. Opportunities come, but they turn into success only for people who are prepared. The book, he said, is for anyone who wants to do something big in life.
Q&A
What is the main idea of the book? That success is shaped by preparation and choices, not left to chance.
Why share such personal memories? Because they show that a modest start does not decide where a person ends up.
Where can readers find the book? On Amazon and Amazon Kindle.
