I failed IIT twice. Took loans I couldn't afford. Started as a Quality Engineer while my friends climbed faster. 25 years later, here's the timeline:
2000: Decided to become an Engineer from IIT
2004: Failed to get into IIT
2005: Failed to get into IIT a second time—reluctantly took admission in another engineering school
2006: Started preparing for grad school in US
2008: Ran around trying to get a loan to go to grad school.
2009: Graduated with an engineering degree in India
2009: Moved to the US for grad school at UPenn, started from scratch in a new country
2010: Struggled landing an internship, while all my friends had one.
2010: Clock was ticking on student loan installments
2010: Finally got an internship at a tiny startup
2011: Finally landed a job at the same startup
2012: Struggled through tech career beginnings as a QA engineer
2013: Doubted if I belonged, took a leap into customer-facing engineering
2014: Really felt like I'd arrived in my happy place—solving new business problems every day with engineering
2017: Google found me!
2019: Found this role called DevRel, found my love for learning out loud
2020: Launched some cool zero-to-one products
2021: Became a published best selling author
2023: Led Developer Advocacy for North America at Google Cloud
2024: Microsoft found me to lead Developer Strategy for GTM!
2025: Earned Wharton MBA, launched another best selling book, took the TED stage while building and leading a team with multi-billion dollar impact.
Story goes on...
The entire time, one truth kept me going: I had to believe in myself before anyone else would.
Failing IIT twice felt like the end of the world. But it wasn't my destination—it was just the beginning.
From a "Not-IIT" engineering school to leading developer strategy at the
world's biggest tech companies wasn't about being the smartest person in the room.
It was about showing up consistently, learning relentlessly, and never letting failure or fear make my decisions.
Don't give up on yourself. Your timeline is your own. Dream!
Dream big! You can only achieve what you can imagine..so don't hold back.
