building.
I failed NEET twice, built ventures that went nowhere, started teaching five students on a balcony, and learned to speak after once shivering on stage. Today, I’m building Bolt Abacus and helping students become more capable and confident.

It ran well enough to fund my pocket money—until COVID stopped it in 2020.COVID years
Learning for free
Worked with other startups without pay and explored ideas such as a women’s safety ring.The beginning
Five students. One balcony.
No chairs. No website. Printed abacus material and five students sitting on the floor.The classroom grows
