Born into a modest family in a village where his father worked as a daily wage labourer, the techie studied at a Hindi-medium school and remembers facing not just physical hunger, but the emotional hunger to feel included in a world of privilege. A single sentence from his father changed everything: “The day people know me because of you, I will feel proud.”
That moment became the turning point in his life. “I still remember what hunger feels like not only the kind where your stomach aches, but also the kind where you quietly wish to wear a branded Levi’s T-shirt not because it’s expensive, but because you just want to feel normal among the city crowd,” he wrote.
His fortunes began to shift when he discovered computers, which sparked a lifelong passion. Entering the tech sector after much struggle, he dedicated himself to learning, saving, and growing. With no mentors or formal training, he self-educated through YouTube videos and books, eventually expanding into part-time trading.
Now, with ₹4 crore in savings, he owns a car and a bike but still chooses not to buy a house, valuing flexibility and minimalism over symbols of success. For him, true achievement lies not in wealth, but in becoming the kind of son who would make his father proud.
“I did not win a lottery, I do not have a rich uncle. What I have is patience, hunger to grow, and self-discipline,” he wrote. “You don’t need fluent English or an elite degree. You just need hunger, consistency, and belief in yourself.”
His story has sparked a wave of support and motivation online. One user commented, “Thanks mate, I needed a heads-up to go on and work harder every day,” while another said, “Very heartwarming. Hoping for more success for you and your family.”
On his birthday, the techie chose to reflect on his journey not to boast, but to inspire others: “I’m still learning, still growing, and staying grounded.” His post stands as a powerful reminder that the combination of grit, vision, and humility can take anyone, no matter where they start remarkably far.
