I first truly gained consciousness & took my life seriously when I was in the eighth grade; got bit by the proverbial startup bug, and my life began with my first entrepreneurial venture. It was an Online Intellectual Property Marketplace. Terrible idea, no (apparent) problem the solution was solving.

Thereafter, I met some incredible folks in the ninth & tenth grade, and got my first proper Internship; it was fun. Lost thirty kilos in two months (starved myself). Started getting comfortable in my body & became more confident. Started with poetry & stopped writing poetry in the same year. (it felt narcissistic)

Then the study-abroad bug bit me (why do these bugs keep biting me), and I wanted to study at an Ivy. Got to know about LinkedIn, and went goo-goo ga-ga over it. Loved it. Obsessed over it.

Then my second entrepreneurial venture came into my life; real problem, good solution, but there was no product-founder fit; I wasn't passionate about my idea. Got okay-ish traction & recognition.

Finally, when I was 15, and in the eleventh grade, my life took shape through Dublieu. I started Dublieu more as an ECA to put on my portfolio, but soon realized that Dublieu is bigger than what I could have ever imagined, bigger than me, and bigger than anything I had ever done in my life. So I set out to build the India story.

Gave up my dreams of studying abroad, and fully started focusing on my company ever since. Registered & cash-flow positive, bootstrapped, and completely organic growth.

I declined every TEDx Offer I got, every possible distraction, and slowly got more and more entrenched & captivated.

Since then, my life's mission has become to not be mediocre & do something truly exceptional.

I have till the age of 30 to accomplish it.
