Not a straight line, but a spiral. Scroll to explore the path taken.
I was born in the historic land of Magadha (Gopalganj) — a region once known for power, strategy and empires that shaped civilizations. I didn't understand legacy then. But perhaps legacy understood me.
Raised in Kolkata. Loved deeply. Yet often feeling different as a non-Bengali child. Inside Bhushan township I felt privileged. Outside, I learned resilience. I grew up protected — until reality arrived.
By 9th grade, financial pressure hit home. Loans. Credit cards. Uncertainty. I watched my family fight silently. One evening in the kitchen, my mother and I decided — we would fix this ourselves.
At 15, I wasn't just studying. I was managing apparel production. Securing orders. Handling machines. Learning execution when payroll depended on it.
My 10th marks suffered. People judged. Doors closed. But I realized — a marksheet measures performance. It does not measure pressure or potential.
LOGO in 1st grade. Java later. Code felt like control. Even when institutions resisted — I chose computers.
Food blogging. WeTalks. Helping restaurants grow. Learning that building value is different from building features.
COVID paused everything. My father got infected. Startups didn't matter. Survival did. He recovered. Gratitude replaced fear.
Built an IT services firm in college. Not for prestige — but to help a friend facing financial crisis. We grew. Then we collapsed. My first real failure.
Lost technical sharpness. Lost direction. Then rebuilt. Flutter. Systems. Mentorship. Cleared UCA. Reclaimed confidence.
Rejected on campus. Applied off-campus. Even messaged the founder. Landed the internship. Converted to full-time. Now building fintech systems at scale.
At 15, I made a promise: One day my family will never fear instability again. That promise still drives everything.
