Speking about this achievement to reporters, Satish Raj, “ I tie my son's tie every day when he goes to school. My wife observed that I was tying his tie very fast. She gave the idea to make this a feat. After that, I have been practicing fast tie tying for the past three months. With this exercise I am happy that I could break Deepak Sharma ‘s Guinness World Record of 12.89 seconds in 2017 by setting the fast tie tying record in 11.55 seconds.  I attribute this feat to the idea and motivation given by my wife,” said Mr.Satish.
