Early Life
Arora was born in Wooster, Ohio to Raj Arora (father), and Shivani Arora (mother). He grew up watching his parents run their own business and was very inspired by their passion and determination. In middle school, Pranav began his first “business” by buying packs of gum and pencils then sold them to his classmates in between the classes. That was his first real taste of being an entrepreneur. When he was sixteen years old, he started his first proper business. It was called Highly Educated. It was focused on selling smoke products and accessories like hookahs, stash jars, and incense.
Education
Through the remainder of high school and into the first half of college he grew his business in his spare time. After half a semester at college, Pranav made the decision to drop out and focus fully on growing his business. He was able to successfully grow Highly Educated to be a million-dollar company. It was after a few years of growing the business that he made the decision to sell and pursue other passions.
