I began my career as a Telesales executive earning ₹7,500 per month, and over time grew into a full-stack Tech Lead earning 30+ LPA.
I failed hundreds of interviews, but I kept pushing forward—and eventually landed multiple offers, often doubling my salary with each move.
I landed my first telesales job in Bangalore through a referral, then transitioned into my first software engineer role at Opcord Consultancy where I learned web design and development using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, and almost all my interview opportunities came through Naukri.
From Struggle to Startup: A Language-Driven Journey
I watched Hollywood movies over Bollywood in my college days just because I could learn English. When I entered the 11th standard, it was not easy for me to understand books in English because I read in Hindi until the 10th standard. Due to a lack of understanding, I had to memorize by repetition to clear my exams. I remember my first group discussion in campus recruitment where I started speaking, but after one or two sentences only, I was not able to make sentences, and that time the observer nodded her head, meaning that they were not going to select me. Later, I went to Bangalore to search for a job. There, I spoke with Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil people in my broken English. I was reading everyday English newspapers or Google News to improve my word power. From the news, I learned how to frame sentences. There, I had to speak English because of a Hindi language problem. There, I came to know that you don't have to be 100% correct to speak English; whatever you know, just convey it. That's how it works. Gradually, I was involved in real-time conversations with my colleague, and day by day I became more confident. I realized later that this is a problem for every non-English student. That's how the "Just Convey" company was born. Previously, I named it "The Orator Club.". Later, I hired employees to run my meetings, and the journey continues.
Turning Impossible into Possible
When I started asking people whether I should change my job, most of them said, “The job market isn’t good right now—stay where you are.” That response was demotivating.
But instead of stopping, I decided to take action. I began applying for new opportunities—and soon, I was receiving 20–25 calls a day.
Then came the next challenge: my notice period. Interviews weren’t getting scheduled because of it. So I made a bold decision—I resigned from my job to be fully available for interviews. Within a few months, I cracked multiple interviews and achieved what once felt uncertain.
This journey taught me something important: Don’t rely solely on others’ opinions to validate your decisions. Take time to analyze yourself—your skills, your readiness, and your chances.
Sometimes, the “wrong time” according to others might actually be the right time for you.
Trust yourself. Take the leap. Make it possible.
Choosing Between Success
The day came when I selected two companies on Naukri that matched my skills and after interviews got offers from both companies with good packages.
How People Have Described Me
Many people, at different points in my life, have described me as clever, honest, intelligent, a family man, a chess master, hardworking, a lover of books and nature, a skilled driver, someone with a king-like demeanor, and a very straightforward person.
