How I Started My Entrepreneurial Journey? From Zero Clients to Building Two Companies by 20 All things Started when I was just turned 18, and finished my High-School. I didnโ€™t choose the conventional path. While most of my peers were picking colleges and preparing for entrance exams, I took a one-year gap - not out of confusion, but out of curiosity. I had one burning question: โ€œWhat does it really take to build something from scratch?โ€ With zero funds but unlimited drive, I turned to Google - like many first-timers - and searched โ€œhow to make money onlineโ€. That one search kicked off a journey that changed everything. I immersed myself in learning - marketing, design, AI, tools, systems, how Companies works, strategies - whatever it took. I applied for 200+ internships on LinkedIn. Most didnโ€™t even respond,. But eventually, I landed two: one at a startup, another at an NGO. Thatโ€™s where I got my first taste of real-world execution. Simultaneously, I created profiles on every freelancing platform out there. My first client? Paid me โ‚น700 on Freelancer.com - Small amount - but a huge milestone. I didnโ€™t even have a bank account, so I sent the money to my dadโ€™s. From there, things picked up. Fiverr, LinkedIn DMs, Instagram outreach - I got clients. And I delivered. While others were out partying in their first year, I was up at 2 AM, doing revisions, learning on the job, and figuring out how to build value from scratch. At 19, I enrolled in B.Com ๐Ÿ‘€ ( well i don't go to college as we have 0% attentdance ๐Ÿ˜Œ ) And cleared CA & CS Level 1 in the first attempt. Why both? Because I wanted to truly understand how companies run - not just to get the mere certification, but more into the compliance, taxation, finance, costing and management. A mix of my Marwadi roots and my builder mindset. Now, at 20, Iโ€™m building Grofyl.com and SutharCompanies - helping Companies with everything from website development to business compliance and incorporation. we have recently closed a client worth 14k INR. This is just the beginning. I am building something real. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป The startup Iโ€™ve been working on behind the scenes - Iโ€™ll be revealing that soon. ๐Ÿš€ Would Like to know how you all started?
