This photo captures a special moment in my scrap business journey. The man in the blue shirt was the very first rickshaw puller from whom I purchased scrap materials. It was a small transaction, but it marked the beginning of something important.

On that day, we met in the village and shook hands after completing the deal. He had collected recyclable items through his hard work. I bought the scrap at a fair price, and both of us were happy with the exchange.

What may have looked like an ordinary purchase was actually a memorable milestone. Every successful business starts with a first customer, and for me, he was that person. His trust and support gave me confidence to continue working and growing in the scrap trade.

Today, whenever I look at this photo, I remember where my journey began and the people who helped me take my first step toward success.
