Ravi is a dedicated Relationship Manager who hustles to meet monthly targets while balancing personal responsibilities.
Living in Bengaluru for work, he visits his wife, daughters, and elderly parents in Gulbarga every month. Despite the pressure of closures,
manual paperwork, and high ROI hurdles, he remains jovial and energetic, though he hides the stress. Not tech-savvy, he relies on intuition,

last-minute dropouts, and intense performance pressure.
