Tapash Roy,Aaj Talkss:Often we hear that success changes your lifestyle, but what does being rich truly mean? For Soma Chakraborty, it has nothing to do with luxury cars, grand bungalows, or a glamorous existence. To her, true richness lies in the lives you touch, the hope you ignite, and the change you create. She believes the real measure of wealth is found in the number of people earning today because of your initiative, in the opportunities you’ve created for future generations, in the lives you’ve uplifted, and in the smiles that now exist because of your actions. Her journey is best reflected in the hospital she established—not as a symbol of personal achievement, but as a platform for others to grow. It became a place where young professionals were given their first break, and underprivileged individuals found not just employment but dignity, confidence, and purpose. While material milestones may appear along the way, Soma never equates them with success. For her, the real riches are knowledge and education—the tools that shape minds and shift realities. She lives by a quiet philosophy: value lies in contribution, not in display. In a world often obsessed with appearances, Soma Chakraborty stands for substance. And through her work, she reminds us that being truly rich is not about what you own, but about how many others you lift with you on the way up.
