Deepinder Goyal was born in 1983 in Punjab’s Muktsar. His parents are both teachers. In an interview, Goyal once said that he was an average student and that his father had to request his teacher to let him graduate from Class 5. However, when he was in Class 8, a teacher helped him turn his life around.
“When the exam results were declared, I was in the top three of my class,” he told YourStory, adding this incident was the turning point in his life.
Earlier this year, he married Mexican model Grecia Munoz. He also appeared as a judge in the third season of the popular business reality show Shark Tank India.
