Community, Curiosity, and Growth: Karan's GetSetUp Journey

eet Karan, a lifelong learner and an active ager residing in Noida NCR near Delhi. Karan's story embodies the spirit of curiosity, continuous growth, and community engagement – values that lie at the heart of GetSetUp's mission.

Karan's story begins with his illustrious career at Mother Dairy in Delhi, which came to a fulfilling close in 2008 upon his retirement. However, retirement didn't signify a pause for Karan; instead, it marked the beginning of a new chapter enriched by learning, sharing, and inspiring others. His path to GetSetUp began with his unwavering commitment to volunteer work. Post-retirement, he remained dedicated to various organizations, including SPICMACAY. This organization is on a mission to introduce India's rich cultural heritage to young minds through classical art forms, connecting them with top gurus in the field. Karan's active involvement in this initiative speaks to his passion for fostering curiosity and learning among the youth. He came across the GetSetUp platform during one of his endeavors to find new ways to engage himself. He vividly recalls, "I keep looking around for various opportunities to engage myself in. One day, I think I just came across GetSetUp on Facebook, and then I explored it. I found something that was right up my alley. There's so much to learn on this platform, maybe even something from your business angle, your technology. There was something for practically all aspects of our lives. My wife and I often join the sessions together. She is also a huge fan of GetSetUp.”

Karan's enthusiasm for continuous growth and his love for diverse learning experiences found a perfect match in GetSetUp because he enjoys interactive sessions that challenge his thinking and allow him to express his opinions. Karan shares his preference for live sessions, sharing, "The live sessions are always better because then you can interact immediately and express your opinions. I especially enjoy the quiz sessions.” For Karan, learning isn't about achieving specific goals but rather a continuous journey of self-improvement. When asked about what he has achieved through GetSetUp classes, he offers a profound perspective. "See, accomplished means, like I said, it's part of your life now. It's not something where you say, okay, after doing ten sessions, I'm going to be something," he explains. "It's like the learnings are there with you every day. So every day you are brushing up something or the other, you learn something or the other, and it keeps on polishing your life. Learning is an ongoing process that enriches various aspects of life, ensuring that one is better prepared for each new day." As for his experience with the GetSetUp guides, Karan appreciates the bond that forms with them over time. He finds value in his connections with each of them, demonstrating the strong sense of community that GetSetUp fosters. 

Karan's story is a testament to the transformative power of continuous learning and reflects the values of empowerment, curiosity, and inclusivity. For Karan, GetSetUp isn't just a collection of classes; it's a daily source of growth and enrichment that touches various facets of life. In Karan's own words, "It keeps on brushing you up and makes you maybe fit for the next day." His story serves as an inspiration to all active agers, emphasizing that the journey of self-improvement is an ongoing, dynamic process even as you age.
