For people with a willingness to achieve, the world is full of opportunities. For that matter, Rakshith Shetty, who shows the world that to be an extraordinary achiever, all you need is a lot of passion and some out-of-the-box thinking. This man who lives by the principle of simple living and high thinking, down-to-earth, soft-spoken Rakshith is now a proud holder of 14 Guinness World Records and guess what?- he’s the only one of his kind in India.

Even though Rakshith Shetty has bagged so many Guinness Records, he is very much hurt that no one from his community nor the government nor any organization has come forward to felicitate or help him financially in his sports talents. “Maybe because I am simple and poor, that no one wants to come forward and help me. I am looking forward to support and encouragement from anyone to succeed in my running/Marathon career, ” he says.
