Failed in 12th exam …
The same year Ajay Unni built software for a school that printed 3000 report cards for year 11 and 12 students.
How did that happen?
Much later, he shared his story in LinkedIn article “The joy of failure” https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140603131707-5693854-the-joy-of-failuer/
That one freelancing work turned into a company with 100 employees.
Yes, he did pass his year 12 next year and also graduated while building his business.
Ajay ran his company from the age of 16 to 26 and then sold it to one of his clients.
Worked for World bank for a couple of years in India.
Then came to Australia for his masters.
Someone who had once failed in year 12 was chosen to be the graduate speaker of his class in his masters.
From freelancer to a CEO of a software company to selling it to one of his clients. From CEO to an IT consultant to a master’s student. And, then from a project manager to CEO again.
He shares what worked and what did not work in his journey of building a career and business.
He also talked about his breakthrough moments, successes and support he got from various people.
I was touched by his humbleness, authenticity, and willingness to share the vulnerabilities and challenges he faced at various stages of life.
He is an interesting storyteller too, so you will get a visual picture of situations he describes.
My #1 takeaway was to become comfortable with uncertainty – that’s where the magic happens!
Listen to the conversation – it’s full of inspiration, fun and learnings
