18: Had no clue what I wanted to do. 19: Landed my first internship. 20: Completed 4 internships and published 2 research papers. 21: Built a startup. Completed 10 internships, published 4 research papers, filed 2 patents, built my own gaming café, spoke at 3 universities, mentored 300+ students, led Infosys Springboard programs, and helped raise ₹50 lakh in funding. 22: Lead Voice AI Engineer. Since then, I've mentored 1,000+ students, received 7 job offers, built an audience of 13K+ on LinkedIn, helped 29 people land jobs, and realized that breaking into AI isn't about grinding harder. It's about building the right skills, projects, and network. Now I'm sharing everything I wish someone had told me through my AI Masterclass and mentorship sessions.
