I Never Imagine that I would be here

By Gaurav Nardia • 27.JUL.2026

When I was in 6th standard. We (Me, My cousins and some friends) used to go to government school by walking and school is 2KM away from my home.

On the way to school, we used to talk about a lot of things as kids like dreams, what we will become when we grow up etc etc.

When they ask me, I always said I will become a software engineer and will start my own software company. At that time I literally don't even know what the hell is software engineering and what they do. And in my family nobody ever touched the computer (even smart phone that time), we only had a keypad phone.

My parents dont know how to use smart-phone even now. They can just call to someone and receive that's it. Nothing more.

But I always used to say them to become software engineer and building my own software company. I was between 10-12 years old at that time.

At 16, I passed out school (12th) and then my grandmother brought me a laptop for my IIT preparation. I prepare for it 3 years but i couldn't crack it.

Then I got admission in a college in gurgaon named Saint Andrewa Institute of Technology and Management but unfortunately had to dropped out after 7 months. Then I learn programming through YouTube and by searching on google. Then I laptop stopped working. I spent about one and half year without laptop because we had no money to purchase it.

I still used to watch programming tutorial from my phone. And Ive learnt basic programming. after one and half year i got laptop and build a product called MedipulseX where you can book appointment to doctor within few clicks. then I got some money by freelancing then move to gujarat to make a proper business out of this product with my friends.

We wprked on it 1 year and pitch investors to raise funds but didn't get any investment. Then I had to move back to home bcz we had not money left. then after home I built Trybit developer's betting app.

It worked very well, it generated $500 revenue in just one and half month. but still had to stop working on it due to some leagal issues in India.

But I got a job of software engineer from this game without any degree and interview. And i was 21 that time.

I just want to say that the kid who never went to private and premium school and had not tech background in family still became software engineer.

I observed that when we truely want something, universe definitely gives us. And The Steve Job's Dot theory is really.

When I think about this and see the dots pattern. It really gives me goosebumps and motivate me that, If i can reach here then I can definitely get what i want from my life.

I love you universe.
