Sunil lost his mother when he was only 1 year and 9 months old. He studied in a boarding

his time in boarding school during that time. After high school, he moved to Allahabad, India

marriage was arranged to his wife Verbina (Herbert) Osmond. They had 2 daughters, Veronica

7-Eleven. From there, he realized that he not only had a passion for agriculture, but also loved

serving neighborhood locals in a small grocery store like 7-Eleven. From that time, he knew he

wanted to own his own neighborhood grocery store and called it S.K. Groceries.

walks of life, made many friends, and was able to get a lot of exercise to keep his heart healthy.
