Kalpit Veerwal’s journey from JEE Mains topper to entrepreneur

Securing a seat in the prestigious IITs of India is no small feat, requiring Herculean effort. Kalpit Veerwal not only achieved this but also made history by securing full marks in the JEE Mains exam. However, despite completing his BTech in computer engineering from IIT Mumbai, he chose to forge his own path rather than attending the institute's placement drive.

Kalpit’s brilliance was evident from his childhood, as he consistently excelled in competitive examinations. During his time at IIT Mumbai, his focus shifted towards building his own business, aiming to achieve financial independence before graduating. 

He began sharing his study techniques and life strategies online, garnering a substantial following. Venturing into YouTube during his second year, he continued to expand his platform, AcadBoost, while forgoing campus internships to concentrate on his entrepreneurial endeavours. Veerwal's educational website proved to be a success, surpassing the highest pay package offered during IIT Mumbai's placement season.

Choosing to nurture his business rather than opting for acquisition offers from prominent investors, Kalpit has seen significant profits. Over the course of two years, he diligently developed his venture. Instead of selling it, he reinvested his earnings into diverse sectors such as real estate, stocks, and other businesses. Today, he enjoys the fruits of his labour, having established a lucrative enterprise driven by his determination and vision.
