While in high school, Dara worked at a local gas station to earn pocket money. His duties included checking oil levels and cleaning windshields. Competing with a coworker for tips, he once earned a silver pen as a prize. This humble beginning, later recounted by cousin Hadi Partovi, stands in stark contrast to the executive stature Dara would one day achieve.
