I’m Rudra Sharma, currently studying Computer Science in AI & Data Science @ DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering.

While I study tech, what excites me just as much is business — not the textbook kind, but the messy reality of building something, watching it break, and fixing it again. I see failure as feedback and execution as the only real differentiator.

There's so much to say I don't know where to start, anyways I've always been fond of working for one's self especially due to the benefits of doing things however you want them to be done and whenever without having someone to tell you what needs to be done and how it's done. I truly believe that there's no better job out there for anyone instead there's a better paying job and I think doing it for the money just doesn't work for me anymore because the way I see it you helping other people achieve their dreams forgetting about your own. The unemployment rate is so high and yet people are still trying to get employed and it's like why don't you just start a business and employ those same people looking for employment. For me it's all about doing what you love because I wouldn't mind not getting paid for doing what I love because it is what I love, money is just an added bonus it's almost like a musician before they become famous, what if they started recording music for themselves and decided one day to share it to the world and that's when they became famous and their musical career starting taking off. That's the very definition of doing what you passionate about
