In today’s time, education is the most important thing which helps us to achieve something in our life. Education doesn’t just carve our skills but also opens several avenues and platforms to showcase our talents. Still, some people excel without getting any formal education. Education does help us in so many ways but some successful people proved that formal education is not the only way to achieve success in life.
Here is the list of some Famous Indians Who Achieved Success despite being the college dropouts.
8 College Dropouts Of India

You can learn from their habits that how successful people follow their daily routine here.
