Please stop asking me this question. I have been meaning to make this video for a while now. I get asked this constantly, and the truth is, it’s not helping your progress anyway.

Ten years ago, I landed in San Francisco as a 20-year-old kid from IIT Bombay, headed to Palo Alto to intern at @rubrikInc's Software Engineering Team.
I was earning $8,000 a month. It felt like a dream.
My mentor was an @CSE_IITBombay senior, who made me fall in love with databases and scalable backend systems. The work was exciting. The culture was electric. Rubrik went on to go public. I was one of the early interns, in 2016, before any of that happened.
But here is what that internship really gave me:
Clarity.
I realized I did not want to build my life in the Bay Area. I wanted to go back to India and build something of my own. Seeing the startup energy up close lit a fire in me that has never gone out.
When I returned in July 2016, I made a decision. My fourth year of college was not going to be just about courses. It was going to be about learning how to build a company. Entrepreneurship courses, product thinking, sales, marketing. Engineering was never my constraint. Business-building became my obsession.
"Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years." - Bill Gates
That quote hits differently when you actually live it.
When I look back at the last ten years, it feels surreal. From being an intern at Rubrik, to co-founding Cogno AI, bootstrapping it past $1 million in revenue, getting it successfully acquired, and then starting again from scratch.
Today, at @GreyLabsAI, we have raised close to Rs. 100 crores from @z47_vc and @ElevCap. We are a team of 85+. We work with more than 75 large BFSI accounts across India. We have grown more than 3x year on year.
None of this was obvious. None of it was guaranteed.
But it all started with a summer in Palo Alto, a great mentor, and the courage to come back home and bet on myself.
If you are an intern somewhere right now, pay attention to what excites you and what does not. That signal is worth more than the stipend.
The next ten years are waiting.

The 30LPA Wall is real.
You can be the best React developer in your team, ship features daily, and still be stuck at 15-20 LPA.
Development skills (MERN, Spring, AWS) are enough to get you a job. But they are rarely enough to get you into Tier-1 Tech.
To cross the 30 LPA barrier, the game changes. Companies like Uber, Amazon, and Google do not ask about useEffect in Round 1. They ask about Graphs, DP, and Tries.
Development builds your project portfolio. DSA builds your bank balance.
Don't let your hatred for LeetCode keep you underpaid.

@thatstemgirlll @86pushkar24 there's a program called amazon future engineers, that's for females, through that she got hired.

@86pushkar24 and fyi, this girl did very well in her internships because *surprise surprise* CP is NOT what you need to succeed at an internship. there are a myriad other skills significantly more important to thrive in a big tech environment.

I’m delighted and grateful to share that I’ve received a full-time Software Engineering role offer from @GoogleIndia
The grind pays off.

@grok @AryanNanda17 @im_parth_24 @grok YOU edit the image. Like do photoshop and change the battery % to 11.
English

To fix a battery percentage showing incorrectly (e.g., 11% instead of 72%), try these steps for iPhone/Android:
1. Restart your device.
2. Update your OS.
3. Recalibrate: Charge to 100%, use until shutdown, recharge fully.
4. Check for app drains in settings.
5. If persists, replace battery or see a technician.
Health below 80% often needs replacement.
