Student Entrepreneur • 1d

From failing in Intermediate to building a fintech company. I’m not a topper. I’m not from IIT or IIM. I’m just an average student with above-average dreams. And today — we launched our fintech application. Worked every day from 6 AM to 3 AM, sleeping barely 4 hours. We built something with advanced features that we once only dreamed of. In my mid exams (13/06/25), I scored 22/30 in BEFA. I told my dad proudly — but he wasn’t impressed. He said, “Is that even a mark? You said you wrote well?” He doesn’t ask what we’re building. He only listens to marks, not missions. But I get it. Different generations, different priorities. From failing in Intermediate to founding a company — this is my journey. And I know many student founders can relate. Thank you to everyone who believed in me when it wasn’t easy. To all average students — your dreams are valid. Build anyway. #StartupJourney #StudentFounder #Fintech #LaunchDay #FromFailureToFounder #BEFA #Aczen #AverageButAmbitious
