Teach 10M -- AI and Marketing | Ex-Alibaba Cloud + MakeMyTrip

Bangalore, India

The short version

I have never been good at sitting still. Not in school. Not at MakeMyTrip. Not at Alibaba Cloud.

At 20, I was one of the top 29 open-source interns in the world at Alibaba, hacking on PostgreSQL internals and Linux kernel I/O. At MakeMyTrip, I built the SEO backend that served 100,000+ concurrent users and won “Super Starter of the Year” my first year there. I re-architected their monolith into microservices. I won their inter-team hackathon. Then I left.

Not because it was bad. Because I wanted to build something of my own.

I started 30DaysCoding. No funding. No co-founder. No safety net. I did everything -- product, marketing, ads, email sequences, content, community management, sales. All of it.

80,000+ students later, across 15 countries, I realized the thing I was best at was not coding. It was teaching people how to use technology to grow. AI, marketing, automation -- the stuff that actually moves the needle for businesses.

The mission now: teach 10 million people AI and Marketing. For free.
