Jaiprakash Rengarajan was born in Bangalore, India. Sadly, he lost his mother at the young age of two. Fortunately, he was adopted by his biological father's elder brother, Rengarajan Venguduswamy, and his wife, Rajam Rengarajan, who raised him with love as their fourth and youngest child.

Jaiprakash grew up in a traditional Tamil household, traveling and attending schools in various locations across Tamil Nadu due to his father's work. Even as a boy, he harbored a passion for movies and dreamt of being an integral part of the filmmaking process.

Despite his aspirations, Jaiprakash pursued a practical education, earning an engineering degree in electronics and communication followed by a postgraduate diploma in business management from VPM Institute of Management.

However, his unwavering ambition couldn't be contained by a desk job. He often says, "without dreaming big, I would still be that office boy in a small photo studio in Bangalore." To support himself and foster independence at a young age, Jaiprakash took on a variety of jobs throughout his youth, including working at

a telephone booth, doing freelance electrical and fencing work, setting up cable TV connections, and running various other errands.
