My name is Rahul and I was born in a city in India in 2001. I am the eldest and
my brother is a couple of years younger. Different events in my life have
directed this path depending on the circumstances I found myself in. I grew up
in a middle class family and had a very stable life, didn’t have much but at the
same time not too less.
As I grew up, I knew that I didn’t want to live the normal school life as
everyone else. I had my interests lean towards the coding and software
developments since my early teenage years. That’s when I asked my father for a
computer, which he did buy. Once I got one, I would spend hours and hours
with it every single day exploring the world of software and honing my skills in
the area. Academics were much less of a concern for me then, so naturally my
grades went down but I knew what I was doing.
As time went by, I started developing a software, of course my parents were
worried about my academics but I just couldn’t give in yet. I asked them to give
me just one chance to prove myself and they believed in me. It took me a couple
of years, to complete the software I worked on. I knew it was worth something
for me to put my years of time.
Finally, I was able to sell my project to one of the top tech companies for a very
big price. My parents were so happy that their belief in me didn’t fail. But I
knew that the money I earned isn’t going to stop me from doing what I loved to
do. So I knew that I still had a long way to go. I do know that life has to be
enjoyed a bit as well. Though people say money doesn’t buy happiness, It can’t
be helped but at the end money does buy happiness is some form or other.
The aim is to not desire too much, that’s enough to live a happy life. That’s
what made it possible for me to be where I am now, being one of the youngest
and top Innovators. I had a vision and I knew it was achievable and my parents
supported me, that’s all it took. This is not the end, I have just started. I believe
that I would be able to contribute to the society with many more innovations
that I come up with.
