Bengaluru Techie shares part

A Reddit post that was about how a Bengaluru technology freak, a net assets of RS 1 Crore, can be reached 30 years ago on social media. The engineer went with the popular Personal Finance India of Subreddit that his trip began in 2018 with a modest salary of 2.4 LAKH per year (LPA) in 2018 when he was only 23 years old. But now, even though he comes from a family with a low income, he said that he had managed to achieve financial stability and prosperity before he turned 30.

“This is not a boast. It is my story,” clarified the original poster (OP) at the beginning of his contribution. He announced that he comes from a family with a low income, in which his father earned around 7,000 to 8,000 rupees and his mother about 5,000 to 7,000 rupees. The money was always scarce, but he managed to study in a decent private school and paid fees of 1,200 rupees per month when he graduated. “I was smart, but also deeply lazy. 89% told both in the 10th and 12th place with minimal studies and maximum cricket,” wrote the Redditor.

When it was time for the college, the man said that he held the Jee test and joined a local private engineer College. “The main reason? The college bus started from my area, so guaranteed window seat for four years,” he wrote. “The college fees were difficult to make, loans were rejected, but relatives occurred and helped. We did it,” he said.

The Redditor announced that he was pursuing Electronic and Communication Engineering (ECE) and was immediately busy with projects with electronics projects. “It was less about grades and more about playing around with bots and components. I moved with a minimal effort with 8 CGPA,” said the operation.

Up to the third year, his interest in programming revolved. “The electronics slowly took up a back seat and I made myself in the writing of code,” he said. “The last year came and a well -known company attended our campus. 35 of 400 students were selected. Somehow I was one of them. Then things started rolling,” he added.

In 2018, the Techie completed his career in Bengaluru with a lean content of 2.4 LPA – about 15,000 rupees per month. He then described his early years of survival and hustle and bustle with humor and honesty. “We even had fun. Tons of it,” he remembered his PG life when he worked six days a week, saved 2,000 rupees per month and took knowledge from both component mentors and colleagues who confused the programming of copying.

Then came Covid, a ghostly job offer from a large 4 company and finally a life-changing HR call that led to an RS 12 LPA offer. “My brain shortened,” he wrote.

Then, in the boom in the 2022 job market, his journey made another jump and he managed to crack 13 offers. He accepted one of a product -based company that offered RS 32 LPA. The technology frequency said, although its basic salary did not increase much afterwards, his stock grid increased its total compensation to almost 45-50 LPA on RS 45-50.

Despite the massive income jump, the technology meat said that his lifestyle remains grounded. “I've never been materialistic. I still use the Android phone that I bought in 2019. My wardrobe mainly consists of free office t-shirts and a few zuDio/Westside jeans. And my shoes? Independence (FI), which enables me to choose peace about salary checks,” he wrote.

In addition, the man admitted to making financial mistakes at an early stage. But he announced that he is now investing RS 71,000 per month through SIPs and maintaining a portfolio that has grown from 31.6 LAKHS in 2025 in 2023 in 2023.

In the coming years, the man hopes to change his final job and possibly be retired before 45. The man ended his post to “just stay in motion”.

“Be economical, where it matters, where it matters and never underestimate the power of compounding (financially and professionally). And above all, you humble humble. Life has a funny way to keep them ground. Like your RS-2050 shoes, while your warehouse portfolio climbs calmly,” he said.
