'All he had was a laptop and patchy internet': How a 19-year-old built a Rs 1 crore-a-month AI business
When most teenagers were attending online classes during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ayush Singh was teaching himself artificial intelligence .
The 19-year-old is now making headlines after a post shared on X claimed that his AI-focused venture earns around Rs 1 crore a month. According to the post, Ayush's journey did not begin with access to elite institutions or expensive resources.

"He's not an IITian, not an MIT grad, and wasn't born with a silver spoon," the post said. His interest in AI reportedly began when he was 13 years old. At the time, his family was facing financial difficulties during the pandemic. The post said he had very little to work with.
"At 13, during Covid, his family hit a financial crisis. All he had was outdated courses, a patchy internet, a laptop, and a ridiculous amount of curiosity."
Despite those challenges, Ayush decided to learn machine learning on his own using whatever resources were available to him. The post claimed his efforts started paying off quickly.
"Within months, he was working with startups abroad," it said. It also claimed that "At 14, MIT recommended his course publicly."
Over the next few years, Ayush reportedly worked on natural language processing systems for a US-based startup. He also gained experience as an MLOps engineer and data scientist while continuing to build his profile in the AI sector.
