I started my coding journey just like most people — for the money

It’s an unspoken rule: if you have a skill, you can monetise it. That was exactly why I began learning to code.

But before that, I was preparing for the JEE exams, one of the toughest exams in India. Clearing it means getting into a top institution. When the results came, I got 93 percentile. It sounds good, but with over two million aspirants, only the top 1% secure seats in prestigious institutions.

Unfortunately, I didn’t make the cut and ended up joining a state college instead.
