My Biography

I was born on June 1st into a humble middle-class family, where curiosity was both my strength and my mischief. From an early age, I was endlessly fascinated by how things worked—especially electronic gadgets. That curiosity often turned into a hands-on adventure, earning me a bit of a reputation for “fixing” things that weren’t broken—and a fair share of scoldings too. 😄

My father had a transferable job, which meant our family hopped from city to city. As a kid, I wasn’t a fan of this constant moving, but looking back, it was a blessing in disguise. Every new city came with new people, new ways of thinking, and new cultures. Over time, it sharpened my understanding of human nature and helped me develop the ability to connect with all kinds of people.

Growing up in a middle-class home meant I didn’t get a taste of luxury—but what I did get was far more valuable. I learned the true worth of things: the importance of money, the beauty of culture, the weight of words, and the unshakable value of genuine friendships. Honstly, I believe those lessons were the real riches.

Despite financial constraints, my parents never compromised on one thing—education. Whether or not it fit the budget, they made sure I had access to the best learning opportunities possible. Looking back, I can say I had everything I needed to grow, even if I didn’t always get everything I wanted. And maybe, that’s what made all the difference.

My College Life

I’ve always been ambitious and fairly good at academics, but during my engineering days, my marks never really crossed that 65% line. On paper, that might not look impressive—but there’s a story behind those numbers.

By the time I hit 11th grade, I started growing restless. The traditional Indian education system, with its heavy focus on theory, began to frustrate me. I didn’t want to just memorize formulas or write exams—I wanted to build things, innovate, and solve real-world problems. And I didn’t want to wait until after graduation or work for someone else to start doing that.

But there was a catch: I had no idea where to begin.

Questions constantly buzzed in my head—How do you start something on your own? How does a company actually function? How is money made, moved, and multiplied online? Why do some people succeed repeatedly while others never catch a break? What really separates the two?

The problem was, no one around me had the answers. These weren’t the kind of questions covered in textbooks, and I didn’t have mentors or role models who could guide me.

So, I did the only thing I could—I went looking for answers myself.

That journey of curiosity became its own kind of education. It opened doors to new ideas, new ways of thinking, and a whole world of possibilities far beyond what the syllabus could offer. In chasing those questions, I ended up discovering a lot more than I expected—about the world, and about myself.But there was a problem. i never knew how to start? I had too many questions about how to start on your own? How company functions etc. I wanted to know how money is made, circulated and distributed on the web. Wanted to know why few people succeeded every time, others not a single time. What was the deciding factor? So many questions but no answers.

More worse was that it was even harder to get answers to my questions because nobody in my surroundings had answers to my questions. Without worrying about anything, i started finding answers on my own, which again gave me huge opportunity to explore.

At Present

It’s been just a few years since I stepped into the world of entrepreneurship—and what a ride it’s been. I’ve made bold bets, taken risks, and yes, lost quite a bit of money along the way. But the good news? I’ve always managed to make more than I lost.

Most of my investments have been in .com startups, software ventures, and real estate. Each experience—whether a win or a lesson—has helped shape the way I think, build, and grow.

These days, I spend most of my time as Senior Software Engineer at an International Bank. Alongside that, I’m constantly working on building innovative software products that solve real-world problems.

I genuinely enjoy sharing what I’ve learned. That’s why I often offer free consultancy to small and mid-sized businesses—it’s my way of giving back and staying connected with ground-level challenges.

Lessons from the Hard Way

“To err is human,” they say—and I’ve lived that truth firsthand. Since starting my journey, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes. In fact, some of them didn’t just cost me money—they shook my confidence, strained relationships, and even dented my self-respect.

But if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: mistakes are only final if you stop learning from them. Thankfully, I bounced back, reflected deeply, and used those experiences as stepping stones to grow stronger. Here are a few hard lessons that, in hindsight, I wish I had learned earlier:

1. Getting Too Personal at Work

I’ve always believed in building warm, friendly relationships at work. Seeing my team happy made me happy. But I learned the hard way that blurring the line between professional and personal too much can backfire.

The closer you get, the more they tend to offload their personal struggles onto you. While I love helping people, I came to realize that constantly solving others’ problems can prevent them from growing—and weigh you down in the process. Boundaries matter, even when your intentions are good.

2. Saying “Yes” to Everything

I used to say yes a lot—mostly because I genuinely wanted to help, and also because that first wave of appreciation felt great. But over time, I discovered a painful truth: when you say yes to everything, you slowly start saying no to yourself.

Not every opportunity is worth your time. Not every request deserves a yes. Learning to say no is one of the most empowering skills anyone can develop—and I learned it a little late.

3. Neglecting My Network

I once had a thriving network. But as my work piled up and I took on more responsibilities than I should’ve, I stopped nurturing it. And in the business world, your network is your net worth.

Losing touch with that ecosystem limited my exposure to new ideas, collaborations, and even opportunities. Looking back, I realize how important it is to keep your relationships alive—no matter how busy you get.
