While founders aimed for unicorn status, Paras’s goal was to earn Rs. 50,000/ month from Wingify.
Today, Wingify: 1. Revenue = Rs 155 Cr 2. Profits = Rs 51.5 Cr
All with ZERO VC funding!
Here’s a masterclass in startup lessons by Paras👇
1/ Catching the entrepreneurial bug
When Paras was a kid, his dad bought him a computer. And, instead of games, Paras went straight to coding.
In 8th grade, he built and published projects on the web and set up a donation button.
Soon, he was earning 5-6k/mo 😮
2/ Learning by doing
Come college time, Paras chose Biotechnology - not Computer Science as one might expect.
Yet, he continued to buildd startups: 1. He'd come up with an idea 2. Spend sleepless nights building it 3. Publish it online 4. Then, he'd wait to go viral.
