This is how I made around ₹1crore by the age of 23.

Disclaimer - I’ve never really worked on any extraordinary things or got here within 5-6 months.

After 12th, I needed to earn money because of some financial issues.

The only skill I had was programming.
I tried to get a job installing cable TV antennas but I couldn’t even do that.

so I spent a lot of time searching “ways to make money” on the internet.

things like dropshipping, trading, content creation, affiliate marketing, etc. didn’t appeal to me because I didn’t have the time or money to invest in those things.

I wanted to get paid instantly for doing something, even if the money was small.

Obviously, freelancing made sense to me.

I knew how to code, but I hadn’t built anything serious, so I collected all my stupid little projects and started approaching random people I connected with on Facebook 😂

The first project I got this way was a small automation script in Python and paid me $100.

Then I helped a cybersecurity guy with some more Python scripts. made around $500. That same guy later paid me over $2000 for helping him for a couple of months.

I added everything to my portfolio and got some small projects on Upwork.
They were mostly prototypes. Sadly, I never took it seriously, so made only around ₹20 lakhs.

I made most of this money writing PHP, Java, Python and Javascript. I didn’t have a niche, I just asked to fix problems that others couldn’t or wouldn’t fix.

Then I worked on some React and React Native apps with some agencies in Noida and Gurugram.

For some months, I managed a small agency almost all on my own that I started with a friend. We basically worked for other agencies that worked for other agencies.

All this lasted until I was in third year at my university. Then I got bored and frustrated because this work was making me lose interest in programming.

Took a small break, working with only 2-3 clients, I did some small open source contributions and got a job in a US based startup.

In final year, I had ₹50 lakhs liquid and I didn’t know what to do, so I bought a plot and started a side business.

I graduated last year and took a whole year to just have fun.

My income dropped from ₹5lakh to around ₹3.5 lakh but my life has been really fun. Also, my investments are growing, and I don’t have any responsibilities, so I don’t really care.

Now, I’m finally planning to build something while pursuing my hobbies and without sacrificing my freedom.

📍 Coonoor, Tamil Nadu.

Small drive from Bangalore. Much better than Ooty. If you want peace, visit Coonoor.

Having good friends in life makes life very easy! It’s so so nice when you have people with whom you can joke about things and laugh it out.
Make sure you make a lot of friendsssss!! Living without a partner is fine but living without good friends is hella toughhh!!!!
