Run by a 29-year-old Oxford MBA and staffed almost entirely by deaf people, Mumbai-based 'Mirakle Couriers' is a unique company whose internal operations we were long interested in. So we got PaGaLGuY's Lajwanti D'souza to spend a day at Mirakle Couriers and accompany a hearing-impaired courier delivery boy as he made his way through Mumbai's commercial Fort area dispatching mail and witness for herself this 'miracle' of social entrepreneurship.

But once he begins to speak, the confidence and command of a topper are quite evident. Prabhu topped the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (CET) for management this year by scoring 179/200 and a 99.99 percentile. "I kind of knew I would top the exams. I believed in it," he says as a matter of fact. Studying to become a doctor, Prabhu is working towards treading the unusual path of first becoming an MBA and then 'managing' his own medical business.
