While many young people were learning online during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ayush Singh was teaching himself artificial intelligence.The 19-year-old is now making headlines after he shared on X that his AI-focused business earns Rs 1 crore a month. According to the post, Ayush’s journey didn’t start with access to elite organizations or expensive things.“He is not an IITian,​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​and not an MIT grad, and he was not born with a silver spoon,” the post said. He says his interest in AI started when he was 13. At the time, his family was having financial problems during the pandemic. The note said he had very little to work with.“When he was 13 years old, during the Covid, his family faced a financial crisis. All he had was an old education, limited internet, a laptop, and an incredible passion.”Despite the difficulties, Ayush decided to learn machine learning on his own using whatever he could find. The post said his efforts quickly began to pay off.“Within months, they were working with outside developers,” it said. It added that “On the 14th, MIT promoted its studies publicly.”Over the next few years, Ayush reportedly worked on a natural language development startup in the US. He also gained experience as an MLOps engineer and data scientist while continuing to build his reputation in the AI ​​field.According to the post, he later founded Antern and also founded Second Brain Labs. Along with his startup work, he also started teaching artificial intelligence to engineers.“Today, they are teaching AI to hundreds of engineers in India, helping them find work that was once impossible,” it said.However, turning that knowledge into a successful business wasn’t easy. The article stated that despite helping hundreds of students, teaching did not bring the expected results.“However, for all of this, the theory was not returning him,” he said. According to the post, things changed when he focused on presenting and selling his technology effectively.The story gained a lot of attention online, with many social media users reacting to the young entrepreneur’s exploits. “My 28-year-old self is jealous and frustrated that so many kids have accomplished so much at such a young age,” she wrote.
