Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 9: <\/strong>With the highly competitive tech industry in India, where degrees can make all the difference in the world, Subhash Choudhary is a folk hero among those who eschewed college. With the valuation of his company at \u20b9800 crore now, Choudhary\u2019s personal worth has crossed the \u20b9200 crore mark. But, even more than the monetary achievements, he\u2019s becoming a literary mentor to the developer community that\u2019s getting the country\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

Fighting for the Bihar Odyssey: Grit Over Pedigree<\/strong><\/p>\n

After his father\u2019s death, his mother, who earned her living by tailoring, could not afford to send Subhash to school after his father\u2019s death, and he was born in a small village in Bihar. When he arrived in Mumbai at the age of 17, he had no plan or map in his mind, only to live.<\/p>\n

Financial difficulties ended his goals of becoming a Chartered Accountant and he decided to take a detour to a Hardware diploma. Subhash picked up programming skills from the dusty corners of computer labs, and many hours of self-taught coding. He wasn\u2019t trying to make a career out of certificates, but rather work on the most difficult technical issues that even the most experienced engineers stayed clear of.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Accidental CTO\u2019 Handbook is the new \u2018Bible\u2019 for engineers<\/strong><\/p>\n

What used to be a derogatory term for Subhash to use was \u201cAccidental CTO\u201d. Today it is the title of his influential book that has created a \u201cmust-read\u201d bible for software engineers all over the nation.<\/p>\n

The book has rung true chords in the tech world because of the elimination of company jargon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It provides an honest and authentic view of:<\/p>\n

\u25cfHow to create a company worth \u20b9800 crore?<\/p>\n

\u25cfInfrastructure Mastery: Dukaan\u2019s journey from expensive cloud solutions to Bare Metal servers.<\/p>\n

\u25cfHow to scale to millions of users from a low resource\/high output team?<\/p>\n

With its focus on technical logic and problem-solving skills, the book has proven to be a guide to success for thousands of aspiring programmers in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.<\/p>\n

The development of the empire cost \u20b9800 crores.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Subhash has been the technical design architect and has been guiding Dukaan to become a huge organisation that allows over 3.5 million merchants to sell online. The company has been led by him through the market volatility, and has successfully charted the course for the D2C revolution in India. Dukaan has been able to compete with the global giants and not get fatter on the platform and Subhash\u2019s \u201cbare metal\u201d ideology.<\/p>\n

The boy from Bihar is enjoying a hat trick-style moment as he recently had his equity valuation done and it has made him a net worth of \u20b9203 crore.<\/p>\n

A history of \u201cSkill Over Degree\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though Subhash is rich, and his book is a best seller, he is a staunch believer in meritocracy. He is still working on the creation of an employment system that appreciates \u201cproof of work\u201d over the universities and their rankings in India.<\/p>\n

Subhash Choudhary wants to make it clear that the part of an Accidental CTO isn\u2019t a matter of luck; it\u2019s a matter of being ready when opportunity strikes and an opportunity is created by your hard-earned skills. It means that the book is becoming a standard on the desk of Indian engineers and it\u2019s more satisfying than \u20b9203 crore.<\/p>\n
