This is my story

I belong from a middle-class family and passed out commerce graduate in 1997. I was an average student when I studied for my graduation. When I was in the second year of my commerce graduation, I got a stroke in my mind to do something for my career because then I will not be able to get a good job or earn good money in my life.

In the year 1994 (vacation of my 10^th standard), I did a small Diploma course from a private institute and passed it with the last grade of C. So, I thought to take another chance and enrolled in one more Diploma in Software Engineering course from a well-known institute after fighting with my father to do the same side by my commerce graduation.

Fortunately, I got so much passion while doing that Diploma because that was my own choice to do to make my career better and I passed it with 92% and a gold medal. That boosted my mindset and transformed my thought process to go ahead and grow in my career. I started my 1^st software company with my friends and worked for ONGC, Ahmedabad for a year. But unfortunately, I did not earn a single rupee in that and so got my career’s 1^st failure at a very early age.

Then I was idle sitting home and one of my friends told me to learn new technologies to get a good job and I enrolled in one new course again to grow and get a good job. While learning, my friend hired me in his institute as a lab coordinator and from then I grew for 2 years and got an opportunity to write programming books as a technical head. Again, a big fall down came in 2000 for the Y2K issue in the IT industry and so I lose my job.

I struggled a lot to get a new job but finally, I got a job from one of my best friend’s references in a software company on a low salary because I was from a teaching industry and my education is the Commerce graduate. I worked there for 3 years with a great promotion on my designation of Junior Software Developer till Team Lead. After the same, I got very good opportunity in a big IT company in Ahmedabad around 2004 on a position of Senior Technical Lead. I did job there with good promotion every year and reached on a position of Project Manager till 2006.

It was a golden period of my life and I got an opportunity to start my own IT company with an investor from Denmark (a Danish guy). I started my own IT company and ran it successfully for 3 years. After growing it at a level, I felt that I only was not been able to manage it and so I merged my company with one of my good friends. We worked together for couple years and there was very unfortunate situation of my life came in year 2013.

Tongue Cancer was detected and I had to go through the surgery and radiation which took me a year in a process of curing the Cancer. This year was a very worst period of my life where I struggled to live with huge pain. I was not been able to speak single word, was not been able to sleep for months, was not been able to take any food. Because of my mind-power and inner strength, I passed that time with strong mindset.

By God grace, it was cure 100% and I came back in my life again. When I went back to my friend’s company where we were working together, he kicked me off in my bad time by grabbing all my clients and contacts. So, you can imagine that what will happen when you know that you are not able to speak and whatever you were having is lost completely.

I was not knowing how will I survive my life and my family. Also, the time was bad and my capabilities were not as the previous time. So, I lost everything with bad health situation because I was not completely recovered. I was not been able to speak and was on a liquid food. My mind got blocked and I got very frustrated with my situation overall.

I was trying to find job in the market and was having a smart phone with me but my father was using a normal mobile phone and so he was not knowing what I was doing. My father thought that I was passing a time by playing games in my mobile. My father shouted on me just before a Diwali of 2013 and I promised him to start job at any cost just after 5 days. Fortunately, I got a part-time job in a company with very low salary of 15 K INR but I was having a trouble speaking. So, I was knowing I have many problems. When you are in problems, you have to compromise on everything and so I did.

I started a new part-time job in a company because I was not been able to sit for more than 4 hours. After couple months, I got another opportunity in a company to start with part-time engagement. So, I started 2^nd part-time job in the other company with a good salary. Finally, I got two part-time jobs which stands me out like a full-time job and I got happy. It was a 3 months of part-time job contract with a new company but then you know when you are true, God is always with you. My 2^nd company called me for a full-time job with a handsome salary package and I started full-time job there.

In just 3 months of time, I again set back in my industry on an executive position. I worked there for 2 years and again, I had to resign because they planned to stop their US partnership. I resigned and started looking for new opportunity. But I never give up and started actively looking for a good position. I got new opportunity in a company on an operations manager position for the Overseas division. I worked there for 8 months only because the language and the attitude of the Director was not good and so I resigned.

Before Cancer, I was an Entrepreneur of an IT company and so that problem came with me when I started doing job after my recovery. Entrepreneur never dies and so I wrote an article on a platform called LinkedIn and it went viral. I got a call from US to offer me an Entrepreneurship and start their IT company in India. I started with them and worked there for couple years.

But then there were again big fall-down happened in COVID-19 and they stopped operations. So, I started my own again and running my own consulting business alone. I started my own company in year 2020 and I am growing it every day.

So, I am happy now to say that now I have multiple business options running side by side. I am running my IT consulting business and tied up with more than 50 IT companies in Ahmedabad. I am putting new technical and non-technical courses on a Udemy platform and I am a successful instructor on it because my 1^st course on it got enrolled by more than 107 K students. I have many more courses to be published on it. I am running my own YouTube channel which is monetized and I am enjoying it. I am providing Corporate Training in other IT companies. I am providing a service as a Business Coach to help IT companies in Sales.

Apart from above, everyday I got to Gymnastics and exercise 2 hours every day. I used to ride my new bike Jawa Classic Maroon and enjoy long rides of more than 1 K kilometres. I am very active reel maker on an Instagram platform. I have more than 30 K followers on Chingari application which is the 1^st similar Indian application like TikTok.

Also, I am the key survival of my family and running a joint family of 10 people along with old age parents and making everyone happy every day!
