Deepak Tiwari lives by the motto: wish, will, and determination is the law of success. Tiwari is a living example of the potential of the American dream. He left India in 1989 and landed in Louisville with his wife, two sons, and a $10 bill in his pocket. Desperate to provide for his family and speaking little English, Tiwari began working multiple jobs and worked 20 hour days for two years. Tiwari now owns and operates eleven Subway franchises and has won awards from Subway for opening stores and increasing sales. He has also owned franchises from Noble Roman’s Pizza, TCBY, Frisch’s, Mailboxes Etc., and Choice Quality Inn. Tiwari received a master’s degree in physical education and was the athletic director at Jiwaji University in India.
