The Blindfolded Visionary: The Story of Pratik Angurala
In a quiet town of Batala, nestled in the heart of Gurdaspur, Punjab, a young dreamer named Pratik Angurala was shaping a destiny far greater than the world could imagine. At just 20 years old, he has already emerged as a World Record Holder, a professional graphic designer, and a rising digital marketing expert, redefining what it means to chase your passion with heart, hustle, and a purpose.
Growing up in a small city where opportunities are limited but dreams are boundless, Pratik discovered his love for creativity and digital innovation at an early age. While his peers played outside, Pratik found joy in sketching, designing, and experimenting with computer graphics. The colors, shapes, and ideas he created weren’t just visuals—they were expressions of a mind bursting with imagination. As he matured, this passion translated into skill. Pratik began freelancing as a graphic designer, building a strong portfolio, and offering digital marketing solutions to local businesses. He quickly earned a reputation for his professionalism, innovative designs, and social media strategies.
But even as he grew professionally, Pratik felt a deeper calling—to do something that could inspire the youth, especially those who often feel invisible or incapable. That’s when he challenged himself to pursue something extraordinary: a world record. He trained with relentless focus to attempt something most people wouldn’t even think of—typing the numbers 1 to 50 blindfolded, as fast as humanly possible. Day after day, night after night, he practiced in silence, learning the rhythm of the keyboard by heart, memorizing its layout through touch alone.
And then, it happened.
With a blindfold over his eyes and confidence in his heart, Pratik typed the numbers 1 to 50 in just 23.8 seconds—a feat that would be officially recognized and certified by the World Record Certification Agency. But the achievement wasn’t just about speed or dexterity. It was a message. A message to young people who feel they lack direction, to those with disabilities who feel excluded, and to every individual who doubts their own ability—that limitations are often mental, not physical.
Pratik says, “I wanted this record to mean more than numbers—I wanted it to become a symbol of possibility.” And that it did. His accomplishment went viral across social platforms, drawing praise not just for the record itself, but for the intention behind it. He became a source of motivation for youth across Punjab and beyond—proof that a small-town boy, with limited resources but limitless determination, can rise to global recognition.
While pursuing his Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in Batala, he continues to balance his academic journey with his professional pursuits. As a graphic designer, he builds captivating visual identities for brands. As a digital marketer, he crafts campaigns that tell compelling stories. And as a world record holder, he walks with pride and humility, always ready to use his story to uplift others.
Beyond the screen and records, Pratik finds his peace in music, allowing melodies to recharge his creativity and ground his energy. He believes that every person has something unique within them—they just need the courage to bring it out. His journey, rooted in hard work and heart, proves that you don’t need sight to have vision—you just need purpose.
Pratik Angurala isn’t just designing graphics—he’s designing hope. He isn’t just marketing products—he’s marketing possibilities. And most importantly, he isn’t just breaking records—he’s building a legacy.
