Started learning coding in 2002 when internet cost ₹60/hour. Self-taught through 5-6 hours of daily practice. My first income came from teaching C programming in 2003.
After working on hardware compilers at Cadence Design Systems (publishing IEEE papers on power optimization), I discovered the web in 2008. That curiosity led to bootstrapping Ready Bytes from a small town in Rajasthan, building 20+ products, and 2 successful exits.
“From teaching C programming in 2003 to building products on 150K+ websites. That curiosity led to meeting PM Modi in Silicon Valley as part of NASSCOM's top 35 Indian startups.”
