About Me

I have always been driven by one thing: understanding systems deeply enough to bend them to my advantage—whether those systems were software, markets, or businesses. Curiosity came first. Money, leverage, and freedom followed.

I was born in Delhi, India, completed my schooling at School, Pusa Road, and earned my engineering degree from Delhi Technological University (DTU).

My interests have consistently sat at the intersection of technology and finance. Long before it was fashionable, I was breaking, rebuilding, and monetizing systems—sometimes successfully, sometimes painfully, but always deliberately.

Early Years: Curiosity Before Credentials

During school, I was already hands-on with technology. I jailbroke my sister’s iPod Touch and the family iPad, not out of rebellion, but to understand how things actually worked.

By 6th standard, I launched a tech blog, which I ran until 10th grade. I didn’t use templates or shortcuts—I built it myself using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Node.js. This wasn’t a “school project.” It was my first real experiment with ownership, distribution, and self-learning.

University: Opting Out of the Obvious Path

At DTU, I quickly realized that the coursework was repetitive and low-leverage. So I diverted my energy elsewhere.

I started an ecommerce business alongside stock trading, working with the little capital I had. Failure was frequent—but instructive.

• Custom T-shirts & hoodies
  Demand existed, but margins were garbage. I learned quickly that volume without margin is just busy work.

• Custom etched jewellery
  This worked. Margins were strong, operations were manageable, and I made decent money. This was my first real validation that business fundamentals matter more than hype.

My daily routine during university was aggressive and unapologetic:

• Sleep at 1–2 AM, after reviewing Meta (Facebook) ads and launching new creatives.
• Wake up at 5–6 AM to coordinate with warehouse managers in China—early morning for them meant top priority.
• Leave for university by 7 AM for 8 AM classes.
• If there was a 2+ hour gap between classes, I went back home—either to work or recover.
• Evenings were spent analyzing swing trade charts, creating ad creatives, and refining SOPs for customer support VAs.

At one point, between the T-shirt and jewellery phases, I briefly considered starting a digital marketing agency—because why not? I never pursued it seriously. Focus mattered more than ego projects.

COVID: Forced Pause, Strategic Shift

By November 2019, I began facing shipping delays from China. What used to take 2–3 days stretched to 2 weeks.

By January 2020, I shut down ecommerce operations entirely. The plan was simple:

• February was historically slow.
• It was Chinese New Year.
• University exams ran from late Feb to mid-March. A two-month pause made logical sense.

Then March 2020 happened.

COVID hit. Ecommerce was already paused. University became easy. Meanwhile, market volatility exploded—and with it, opportunity and profit.

As shipping normalized later, I reassessed ecommerce and found it unattractive compared to trading. The risk-reward wasn’t even close. I never restarted the business.

Around this time, I also faced significant personal loss, losing close family members. That period stripped away distractions and clarified priorities.

Since then, my professional focus has been singular: trading.

Now

It has been five years since COVID. Life today is monotonous—but profitable. Systems work. Capital compounds. Days are predictable.

Which means one thing:

It’s time to disrupt my own comfort.

2026 is about spicing things up again.

Some learning from my own journey so far:

• Skills compound faster than credentials
• Margin matters more than vanity metrics
• Volatility creates opportunity for the prepared
• Focus beats diversification when you’re early
• Comfort is the enemy of growth
