Extremely modest and affable, Vishnu Kumar Suhalka is a renowned name in the construction sector in the city. Born in and a native of Lake City, Udaipur, Suhalka had his early schooling in St. Paul’s School and later at Central School, Pratap Nagar. He completed his B.Sc. (Mathematics) from M.B. College, Udaipur in 1982. To begin his career by joining his family which was into the sale of liquor but later switched to the construction sector. For some time, he was also a royalty collection contractor for the Mines Department. He also successfully ventured into the housing construction sector where his core belief remained a commitment to quality which he eventually delivered. A teetotaler and a practicing vegetarian, he strongly believes in the benefits of these practices. 
Impelled by his belief that education is a potent means of bringing about social change, Suhalka has recently launched Aadhar Career Classes, a coaching institute with the help of his son and daughter in law. About the coaching scenario in Udaipur, he feels that now 80-90 percent of students go for it in Udaipur for two main reasons. Most teachers in several private schools are low paid while on the other hand, there is a miss-match between the salary and performance of govt. school teachers while they are required to be engaged in non-teaching activities. This has created a situation where teachers are either overworked or they are unable to produce academic outcomes. He also feels that parents have much higher expectations from coaching institutes where students spend 3-4 hours a day than schools where they are for a longer period. Much depends on parents, he believes, as it is their responsibility to make children disciplined. They can play a crucial role in protecting their children from time killers such as smartphones, TV, bike, money and wrongful company. Preparing himself hard to teach Maths which is also one of his passion, Suhalka thinks that Maths makes one’s brain logical while English also remains important in this global age. So also is good handwriting as it attracts the attention of the teacher and examiner. 
During school days, Suhalka participated actively in mental activities such as debates, sports, and workshops. He was under officer in NCC Army Wing and a Cadet in the Air Wing. His love for adventure once made him go to Chittorgarh on a bicycle and return the same day covering a distance of about 225 km.

His plants have won several prizes in the annual flower show organized by the Municipal Corporation at Gulab Bagh and Fatehsagar. 
His wonder lust took him to a month-long ‘yatra’ to the abode of Lord Shiva- Kailash Mansarovar in 2005. The parikrama of Mansarovar with a radius of 90km and mount Kailash with 57km, according to him is the holiest and toughest pilgrimage.
