IIT Madras Graduate Faces UPSC Setbacks, Later Finds Success in TradingPreviousNext

An IIT Madras Chemical Engineering graduate rejected a 10 LPA campus job in 2012 to pursue the UPSC civil services exam. Despite multiple attempts and clearing prelims once, he did not clear the mains. He then pursued professional badminton but left due to politics and disillusionment. After battling failure, heartbreak, and addiction, he found success in day trading and now earns around Rs 2 lakh monthly as a SEBI advisor, recently marking a new personal milestone with marriage.
