Verma was born to Chandra Mohan Verma, an income tax lawyer in British Government. He was ambitious to be a successful businessman while growing up. However, after the sudden death of his father, he entered the education industry. His first accomplishment as an educator was to be selected by the British Council under AIMEC project and sent to CAMET, University of Loughborough, England for the advanced study of teaching mathematics for a period of ten months in 1982-83. During this period, he visited several educational institutions of all levels in U.K and did projects on different topics on the preliminaries of calculus, trigonometry, geometry, algebra and applied mathematics. A few years later, he presented his thesis paper in physics to the same university and was awarded his PhD.

He tutored and mentored many students to be successful entrepreneurs in life and their respective fields.
Although he is said to be a notable mathematician but he was never successful as a businessman. He started many businesses in his lifetime but could only barely run them despite of his book on Business Mathematics published by FK Publication. It is also said that the ventures started by him for the benefit of society are the only successful ones.
