A high school dropout from Andhra Pradesh is inspiring many by using the technique to create designs on wooden home items. Apart from making good profits in wood designing, he has also been expanding his business scope and providing employment to others.

Tangethi Raju is a native of Anakapalli district headquarters in Andhra Pradesh, who forbade formal education due to family reasons and financial problems. In search of a livelihood, he learned to operate a computer from his friends. But this was not enough for him to earn an income to lead a happy life. They came to know that there is no computer based wood designing in and around Narsipatnam, where people have to rely on handmade designs by carpenters on their home wooden items like doors, windows and others.

He thought of starting a computer based wood designing business in Narsipatnam. Raju, with the help of his friends, learned the technique of making designs on wooden household items on the computer. He bought the machine for this purpose and started his business in Narsipatnam.

In no time, Raju became a household name in and around Narsipatnam, where people preferred the carpenter’s hand-made designs to his computer-based designs.

Anyone who wants to get designs done on the doors and windows of their house has been approaching Raju without hesitation.

When contacted by News18, Raju said that he is charging at least Rs 10,000 depending on the design as per the customer’s choice. He also said that he has been providing employment to other people through his business.
