Dear,
This snaps are used from the library to quickly share who am I. Let’s go!
The story of 19 y/o dropout to ₹ 01,20,27,305?
It started by May, 2020. Ate 5 meals a week, traded, worked part-time and dropped out of engineering (@9.2 CGPA) by July, 2022 to build Licaverse, World's first AI Learning Ecosystem. Pitched 43 times, got 7 rejections and barely a few replies here and there.
Spent 14 months working alone, disconnected from the world. Made 6304+ notes learning & documenting the journey along the way and obtained 4 copyrighted documents, got 121+ certifications (Every sub-skillset contributing to product designing, now 315+) and reached 4 Top incubators in Chennai & their reactions, highlights for you as follows:
♦️"Handed PI Agreement before expert panel interview & said haven't seen such a proposal & presentation in the past 3 years." Mr. Koushik Sriram, AIC - Anna Incubator
♦️"Your docs & perspective on SOPs & brand building were extraordinary." Mr. Gowtham Subramani, E-Cell IIT Madras
♦️"Design is unique & a brilliant idea." Mr. Sree Takshin N, Crescent Innovation and Incubation Council (CIIC)
♦️"Your attention to detail teaches us something new, Kamal." Mr. Saleemnawaz M A sir & Ms. Nandhini Suresh mam, Vel Tech Technology Incubator (Vel Tech TBI)
♦️Got into Microsoft for the Hub (Up to $1,50,000 Credits)
♦️Been in PostHog for startups ($50,000 Credits) & Google Cloud partner Program.
♦️Asked to be mentor at Vel Tech TBI (Dedicated to my dear dad who screwed me up saying without a degree, you can't get married)
Most significant moment: It's a meeting regarding NDRC funding with Mr. Chandra Kumar P Sir Dean & CEO, Vel Tech Technology Incubator (Vel Tech TBI) scheduled for 10 mins for quick knowledge about our venture, but it went for 65 mins and at the end, he offered us a launch to 8826 students (8826*16 dollars/head: ₹ 01,20,27,305 worthy launch) of the Vel Tech Vel Tech Rangarajan Dr. Sagunthala R&D Institute of Science and Technology University (free trial) and also he generously offered a soft loan up to ₹50,00,000.
Following this, he said, "Your journey is so inspiring and you're too ambitious, man. I will help you in any possible way & we will cover the launch for you." Getting this appreciation from a wise man with more than a decade of experience is more than an award for me(and surprisingly this was the first time we met). Unfortunately, I lost my health, so that abandoned the launch. Now I think we should build networks, resources & Brand and not the other way around.
Success is so subjective; what I consider as success is that I started with nothing & as no one. I earned the space where I’m today only because of the fullest effort and on complete merit.
