Started a dev shop in my final year of college. Ran it for 1.5 years. Grew from just me to a team of 10 developers, designers, QA - basically a tech team.Generated more than 1Cr in revenue (doesn't mean much, does it?)Had to move on because my co-founder and I were both fed-up of the agency model.

My first taste of how a startup functions (YC W22). Joined this YC-backed startup as an intern in my 3rd year of college. Spent 9 months devouring best (and worst) practices around building a product that people would spend money on.Prepared me to start my first business.

Web3 was all the hype then. And I was a broke college kid.Started writing solidity smart contracts.I realised, back then, that I'm not the best at writing code. I'm okay, but competing with those heavy math people would be hard for me to do.I took a decision after this to explore other skillsets.
