Still
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.

Build.
Learn.
Begin again.

The honest roadmap

No straight line.
Plenty of forward motion.

Not a polished success story. A record of building, learning, losing momentum, finding a new direction and beginning again.

01

Twice

Failed NEET

I chose BBA when the path I had imagined did not work out.
02

College

The entrepreneurial bug

Joined the E-cell as vice president and was later promoted to president.
03

Build. Fail. Learn.

Eruliaf, chai and PAIN

Hydroponics. A chai brand. PAIN—a gym clothing brand. None became the company I hoped for.
04

A working business

Flight tickets

It ran well enough to fund my pocket money—until COVID stopped it in 2020.
05

COVID years

Learning for free

Worked with other startups without pay and explored ideas such as a women’s safety ring.
06

The beginning

Five students. One balcony.

No chairs. No website. Printed abacus material and five students sitting on the floor.
07

The classroom grows

300+ students taught

More than 200 of the learners I taught personally were from the United States.
08

The pivot

Bolt becomes software-first

Unlimited practice, structured learning, analytics and a platform built for students and teachers worldwide.
09

The fear

From shaking to speaking

I used to shiver on stage. I fought that insecurity until the stage became a place to help others.
10

Today

Still building

Bolt Abacus, books and sessions that help students break out of the insecurity shell I knew too well.

I want to help students break the insecurity shell that I suffered with—and become more confident than I was at their age.

From a balcony to a platform

Practice deeply.
Compete boldly.
Teach with evidence.

Bolt Abacus is a software-first practice and competition platform being built for abacus learners worldwide.

Students receive structured progression and unlimited practice. Teachers receive lesson support, detailed reports and analytics that make every attempt useful—not just another answer on paper.

Behind Bolt

The screens are the product. The people are the reason.

Software, classrooms, messy whiteboards and small moments of trust—all part of the same build.

Entrepreneurship sessions

I once shivered on stage.
Now I use it to help others.

Sessions on entrepreneurship, failure, confidence, execution and the courage to begin before you feel ready.

Real rooms. Real conversations. Original audio.

The opening clips begin inside the audience, because the energy in the room says more than any paragraph could.

In the room

Speaking journal

Every room belongs in the archive.

Schools, engineering colleges, innovation summits, jury panels, awards and the conversations that continued after the microphones were switched off.

Yes, they are all here. Swipe →

Press & recognition

The work travelled
further than I realised.

Newspaper coverage, public events, jury invitations and recognition moments—kept here as proof of the journey, not decoration.

Books in progress

Ideas worth
carrying forward.

I’m writing slowly—on philosophy, personal development and entrepreneurship. Not to sound certain, but to make better questions useful.
