In yet another proud moment for the Shridhar family, Moksh Shridhar, a student of RAN Public School, Bhura Rani, has secured a stellar 98.8% in the CBSE Class 12 examinations, becoming the second topper of his school. His achievement comes just weeks after his cousin sister, Mauli Shridhar, daughter of Naresh Shridhar, topped the ICSE Board in the city—marking a golden academic chapter for the family.
Born into a reputed business family of Rudrapur, Moksh is the son of Mahesh Shridhar, while his uncles Naresh, Rakesh, and Mukesh Shridhar are also well-known names in the local business fraternity. Despite the business legacy, Moksh has charted his own path, choosing academics over inheritance.
“We never pressured him to follow the family trade. His dreams are bigger than shops and ledgers. Today, he’s proved that,” said an emotional Mahesh Shridhar, his father.
Moksh credited much of his success to a “healthy and motivating competition” with his cousin. “Mauli and I pushed each other to do better. She inspired me when I felt low, and I did the same for her. We celebrated each other’s small wins,” he said with a smile.
His uncle, Naresh Shridhar, said, “First Mauli made us proud, and now Moksh. It feels like our family has been blessed twice this month. Their bond is rare, and so is their brilliance.”
Moksh aspires to carve a niche in financial management and plans to pursue higher studies in Dubai, aiming for global exposure and professional excellence.
With roots firmly planted in Rudrapur and dreams reaching for the skies, Moksh is a name the city will remember.
