The Road From Adilabad
to Where I Am Today
Every milestone below is drawn from published news reports, interviews and recognitions — nothing invented, nothing exaggerated.
A journey measured not in kilometres but in decisions. A grandmother's charts, a local trainer who came home every evening, a smartphone mastered with one hand, and an AI-based digital marketing course — each step carried him from a bed in Adilabad to leading a digital marketing team.
In 2018 he passed Class 10 through open schooling. In 2019, health complications closed one door — and he found another. In less than three years he went from learning digital marketing to becoming a team leader earning ₹50,000+ a month.
