Puru Gupta, 35 years old, Electronics graduate from one of the premier engineering institutions of India. After graduation worked with the Indian Army for a few years in their engineering division. Afterwards I was reassigned to the Army Research and Development Organization. After a brief stint at the ARDO, I joined by family business of logistics, transportation and import/export at 28 years old. In two years, I expanded the original business to thrice of its previous size. I developed plans to expand the business into different verticals, specifically catering to the hardware requirements of the army, my designs and plans were favored both by my employees and my ex colleagues in the army.
My plans reached fruition, business boomed and my company became the leading defense company in the country, we were supplying all three branches of the army. We begin to meet other requirements of the army like infrastructure development, vehicle manufacturing etc. We also begin to supply to neighboring countries of India (The friendly ones of course). In the meantime I also found interests in subjects such as Economics (helped me in the Business) and History, which I studied in my spare time. After 7 years of developing business we had gained good amount of reputation in the international market. I had completed my personal obligations like getting my siblings married, playing with my nephews and nieces, and with their insistence, was thinking about getting married, when tragedy struck.
I was getting back form a particularly grueling meetings with the army chief of a neighboring country in my private jet, when I suddenly felt that the plane was descending at and abnormal speed. I tried calling my flight attendants, when I realized that they had been drugged. On further inspection, I found out that the pilot had already fled taking with him all the parachutes on board.
Well, I decide to fly the plane myself. I had learnt to fly aircrafts secretly since I planned to develop my own ones for manufacturing, but then I realized that one of my engine was sabotaged as well, and the plane was falling irrespective of what I did. So I just tried to get the noose up and give as smooth landing as possible. Unfortunately, we were quite far away from any cost. After doing as much as I could, I woke up the flight attendants, and made them ready to jump out of the jet as we reached closer to sea level. After reaching at sufficient height, we all jumped one by one. While I was in the water, I got entangled in an underwater plant, and my consciousness started to fade away. My only hope was that a passing vessel might be able to pull me out, and with this thought I lost consciousness.
