Rags to Riches

Swish! Goes the drain water as it flows on the littered grounds of the Dharavi slum. The slum is filthy and full of trash and houses constructed an inch apart. To sum it up it is revolting and foul. Sadly, hundreds of thousands of people call this place home. Among these people, there is a man named Rakesh Nemari he works 12 hours a day in a Biscuit Factory to earn money. Rakesh dreams of being a CEO of a colossal technology company and is willing to go to any extent to attain his goal.

He wanted to work at a factory to earn enough money to buy a computer and commence his journey. In addition, he wanted to have a sense of how business works as he had no prior experience in this field. He expeditiously worked up the ranks in the factory and became a director within no time. Now Rakesh had a choice to make him could either continue like this and have a mediocre life or take the risk and try to go big. Rakesh really wanted to try and go big but, a tingling sensation in the back of head wanted him to stay safe and be felicitous with what he got. Rakesh unsure of what to do consulted his friends, they all said he had no chance and to be complacent with he got. Rakesh got enraged because they didn't believe in him. At the end that was what finally convinced to take the risk.

Rakesh then proceeded to buy himself a computer and some other items he needed. He started off learning to code as that is vital in becoming a CEO. While learning to code he faced his first obstacle in his journey. He was making many gaffes and getting many issues and had no idea on how to fix them. However, that was not going to knock Rakesh down he would not take no for an answer. Rakesh coded around the clock until he understood how it works. Rakesh decided to understand the hardware and the other aspects of technology too so he would be well prepared.

Rakesh had an Interview for a post as a software engineer at dell in a few weeks. He wanted to get a grip on a technologically based job and the environment at an office. He practiced and learned for prolonged periods of time. On the day of the interview, Rakesh was nervous but exited head held high. He cracked the interview! He could see his dream of becoming a reality. Rakesh spent 10 months at Dell and like at the Factory he went up the ranks swiftly. He soon became a Vice-President and learned lots.

Rakesh got an offer to become president but rejected. Even though Rakesh wanted to become a CEO and becoming president would help him do that he felt like he didn't deserve it. Reason being that he didn't make a company himself and start from the ground up. He felt like he had copied someone's homework. He then resigned and went to start his own company. Here is where he faced a bunch of problems. He first decided to make an office and hire employees. After a few months, he got a couple of hundred employees and an office to work at. He then had to decide what he was even going to do. He then settled upon doing AI and constituting Video Games. Throughout his journey, Rakesh had many hurdles one of the most significant ones being advertisement and marketing. Rakesh found this extremely tough as he had to convince people to download his game. Furthermore, it was hard to sway big companies to use their AI. Eventually, through experience and time, he got a decent amount of people and companies using his games and AI. Rakesh kept on working and working and eventually they got very big. Now Rakesh was worth 10 Billion dollars and was one of the biggest CEOs on the planet.

Rakesh decided to splurge a little and get himself some luxuries. However, he kept true to himself and helped the people from the place he was from and did lots of charity and helped people around the globe. With determination and intelligence, Rakesh went from an unknown and poor person to one of the world's biggest people.
