Success rarely arrives overnight. It is built quietly — through curiosity, countless experiments, failures, learning, and an unshakable belief in one’s vision.
My entrepreneurial journey began much earlier than most — at around 12 years old.
Back then, I wasn’t thinking about profits or business models. I was simply driven by curiosity. I spent my school days building project models and my evenings repairing electronic products for neighbors. What started as a hobby slowly became a passion for creating, solving problems, and understanding how things work.
That curiosity shaped everything that followed.
Early Steps into Digital Business
In 2011, I took my first formal step into entrepreneurship by becoming a seller on eBay India. This exposure taught me the fundamentals of online commerce, customer expectations, and digital operations.
Soon after, I began learning website design on my own. By 2015, I launched my first independent online store — a major milestone that marked my transition from experimentation to structured business.
Fast forward to 2026, I now operate multiple digital ventures across different industries:
- Printing Services: Kii Print (kiiprint.com)
- Website Design & Development: Kiix (kiix.in)
- 3D Printing & DIY Electronics: Running Robot (runningrobot.in)
- Carpentry & Modular Furniture: Folding Furniture (foldingfurniture.in)
Each business reflects my belief in hands-on learning and practical innovation.
Lessons from Failure and Growth
Not every venture succeeded.
Some projects failed because my knowledge was still developing. Others struggled because I launched too many initiatives at once or couldn’t build the right team for proper management.
But failure never discouraged me — it educated me.
Every setback sharpened my understanding of operations, leadership, finance, and execution. Today, I see those early mistakes as paid tuition for real-world business education. Some paused ventures are already planned for revival in the coming years — this time with stronger foundations.
I’m still learning. I’m still growing.
And that mindset keeps me moving forward.
Choosing Entrepreneurship in a Job-Oriented Environment
I come from a place where most people prefer safe, predictable careers. Risk-taking entrepreneurship wasn’t common, and support for unconventional thinking was limited.
Even within my own circles — family, relatives, and peers — the dominant mindset was employment-focused.
But I always envisioned something different.
I didn’t want to be someone looking for a job.
I wanted to become someone who creates jobs.
That difference in thinking often made my journey lonely. Yet it also strengthened my resolve to build something meaningful, scalable, and impactful.
Building Trust Before Building Scale
As I work toward creating a larger business ecosystem, I understand one truth very clearly:
Investment follows trust. Growth follows credibility.
My current focus is not just expansion — it is transparency, quality, and long-term relationships. Whether it’s printing services, digital platforms, hardware innovation, or furniture manufacturing, my goal remains the same: deliver honest value and earn lasting trust.
I believe personal branding and business integrity go hand in hand. My journey is open, evolving, and driven by purpose rather than shortcuts.
Looking Ahead
My vision is to build a diversified, technology-driven business group that empowers people, supports innovation, and contributes positively to the economy.
There is still a long road ahead.
But every step — from repairing electronics at age twelve to running multiple online businesses today — has prepared me for what’s coming next.
This is only the beginning.
