If this feels like you, we'll get along effortlessly.
i was in 8th-9th grade and i just wanted to make real money. actual money on the
internet. so i literally scraped through youtube for hours searching how to earn as a 14 y/o student.
most
of it
was bs, but somewhere in that i stumbled upon affiliate marketing. i didn't fully get it at first, but the
idea made sense.. get traffic, put links, earn. so i went deeper. figured out that traffic is everything. so
to
get traffic for my affiliate links, i started a blog page, to review products and write about
lesser known business stuff. that phase lowkey introduced me to seo and how things actually work on the
internet.
around the same time i started being active on quora, answering random questions and sharing whatever
i was
learning... ended up getting like 56k+ views in total.
in 10th i learned basic video editing and started posting motivational reels on instagram (still
embarrassed about that). but yea, looking back, that phase taught me a lot.
while all of this consuming and trying was going on, one idea stuck with me:
"generational wealth isn't built in payroll systems, it's built through ownership." that kind of changed how i
see things.
i'm really into consumer psychology and
how (rich people) think and operate.
also working a lot on improving myself- mentally, physically,
emotionally.
still early. still figuring things out.
but i know i don't want a normal path.
i want to build something of my own.

yc's first ever physical event in india in 20 years, and it showed 25k+ applications in 48 hrs for just 2,250 spots. bangalore was packed with founders and builders, yc partners (jared friedman, ankit gupta, jon xu) on stage along with the founders of yc backed indian unicorns. felt like a genuine "moment" for the indian startup scene, not just another conference.
felt like 90% of the room was iit/iiith kids. wild concentration of pedigree in one place, made me think a lot about what "good enough to be in this room" actually means outside of a college tag.
met so many young cracked people there, genuinely one of those environments that pushes you to think bigger.
built paygate which is a simple way to enable onchain payments for APIs using the x402 standard.
distribution > product most people don't fail because their product is bad, they fail because no one sees it. attention is the real game.
the indian market rewards whoever reduces friction and captures attention.
people don't buy the best option, they buy the clearest one. if they have to think too much, you have already lost.
most ideas are just repackaged patterns. execution and timing decide who wins.
