Hareesh Parandhaman and his family spent just about 13 years with their son, Shreyas. Thirteen years of seeing him grow up from a child struggling with his studies to a driven teenager immersed in the dream of raising the national flag on the podium of MotoGP, the Formula One of motorcycle road racing.

Parandhaman watched his son grow into his racing career, cheering him on from the sidelines. Those thirteen years had gradually seeped into every corner of his life until, in 2017, he gave up his job as the head of business development at Resil Chemicals and devoted himself to nurturing the racing prodigy.
