A few years ago, I had nothing—no fancy laptop, no funding, no clear roadmap. Just a deep urge to create something of my own.
At 18, while most were focused on school, I was searching for ways to earn. My first gig? A small job that paid me ₹2000/month. It wasn’t much, but it was a start. I knew I needed more—so I kept looking for opportunities.
I saved every rupee I could, skipping outings and unnecessary expenses. After months of grinding, I finally bought my first laptop on EMI, paying ₹3500/month. It wasn’t just a gadget—it was my gateway to building something real.
I dove into web development, app building, and AI/ML—teaching myself late at night, failing often, but never stopping. I tried SEO, email copywriting, even freelancing—all with mixed success.
Then came my first big break—a ₹1.2 Lakh project that changed everything. It wasn’t just money; it was proof that my skills had value.
Instead of celebrating, I reinvested, refining my expertise and expanding my vision.
Today, I run Olinp Technology, building web and app solutions and pushing the boundaries of AI/ML. But the real success isn’t the company—it’s the transformation.
Because success doesn’t wait for the perfect moment. It follows those who create their own.
