Paru comes from a humble Jain family.She lost her father when she was a child. She was academically inclined as a child and so did well at Sharda Mandir,the Gujarati-medium school she attended. Her mother passed away when she was a teenager.Then she had to shelve her dreams of becoming a doctor. She then studied Philosophy and Sanskrit.

The rise in email scams is directly proportional to the increase in internet penetration in the country, especially with the number of first-time internet users going up each day.A recent Cisco study found that India is the world’s largest source of internet spam, followed by the United States, South Korea and China. With over 130 million users, India’s internet population is one of the fastest growing in the world. Most of these scam emails are targeted at average, technically less sophisticated email users.
