Is it often that we see a non-business person becoming an entrepreneur? This is very rare, and it’s hard to believe once you know that this same person used to mix up the letters b and d during his early years. ShwetankDwivedi, who is 26 years old and an RB Tech founder, has proved himself thousands of times over as a successful example for many young businessmen who desire to change their lives through resolute determination. He never gave up in the face of numerous challenges. In his teens, he was always scolded by his father. His dad wanted him to be either a doctor or an engineer. However, that did not stop his father from encouraging him. He would narrate so many stories about achievers all over the world.
He was just an average student with only passing marks. Despite being poor in academics, he had great passion for technology but ignorant of career aspects relating thereto. Board exams fetched him below average results too. This also affected his self-confidence quite dramatically overnight. By hook or crook, he managed to get into Bachelor’s Degree in IT.
Gradually he started participating in extra-curricular activities and college fests which boosted his confidence level.Now nothing appeared dull, this further increased his interest for computer science.He participated in may activities which made him more confident and after completing graduation he scored distinction for first time in life.
THE NEVER-ENDING STRUGGLE
Nevertheless this did not in any way help shape his career as no company offered him employment placement.It depressed him so much because all my classmates were finding jobs while some have already settled down.Like my parents I also lost hope.This made things worse; even looking for a job itself gave him no good result at all.
He guided his team leading them into scoring the highest points ever achieved by any college students throughout colleges within Mumbai on a college project.The entire society applauded his innovative project.From there on, he decided to not work on the same thing everyday like others and started enjoying the process.He and his friends began seeing creativity as a start-up opportunity.Meanwhile, he got an opportunity for a job in Wipro but refused it because of his passion in own charter.Also, he easily landed into first project while one of my friend’s got very good job at Hyderabad where now I did not have much information.Unfortunately, he was left with the project which meant that he had to manage on his own.
THE LEARNING NEVER ENDS
On the other hand, he had gained a lot of practical knowledge. That was a bit opposite what he learnt at college. This helped him to learn how to deal with technology development. Furthermore, he acquired ways of applying theoretical knowledge and skills in real world situations. That passion for technology and love for his job pushed him into creating his own company ReBoot Technology, now known as RB Tech Solutions. The desire to create new Technology, spread awareness about Technology and provide technological services constituted the foundation of this firm. Everything seemed perfect but there was no work after the first project and client-less life continued.
Among all these things were patience from himself and support from parents and friends that kept him going forward no matter what. He never lost an opportunity to fight back in his life. Henceforth, numerous software development deals have been coming his way. This even pushed him to start working on an app for his company so that it could operate more efficiently. For that purpose, he assembled few freelancers who were very much interested in technology and would devote their time as per their convenience.
Besides; he also began getting funding towards accomplishing dreams seemingly impossible at one time or another for many different reasons.Unfortunately however things did not go according to plan.He had high expectations of kitting out a team.But they did not meet up with his expectation.Therefore, he decided to undertake some business studies just so he can understand how to recover from failure.So doing,he went ahead and enrolled himself for MBA project management.On top 0f this journey , small assignments began trickling in which where too good be filled.Essentially it was one of those milestone events that shaped his career.
The Fruition Phase
ViralTube is a unique software by Shwetank developed using YouTube such that you can use its background without viewing videos; it is the only application like this worldwide; downloaded over seventy thousand times globally (Poland top 100 and USA Top 500). The game was ruined by similar paid apps from other developers all over the world. Google has since removed his app from the Play Store. Nonetheless, it became a turning point for him.
In the subsequent years, he searched for funding opportunities. He attended many seminars, met a lot of people and introduced them to LOKALAD, his own new project. One investor agreed to invest. A new enthusiastic staff was formed and he started working on another project. Regrettably though, lack of experience led to below average performance and huge losses resulting in learning. This was just one more experience for him.
They say Rome was not built in one day. Hard work pays off in the long run, though it may take some time for its seeds to germinate. After going through ups and downs, he eventually introduced several new products that would be used by ordinary people. Shwetank’s new idea, BookBungalows, was thus brought into light. It simply implies that a customer can lease room from any of their partners who provide over 250 bungalows. A sharp corner characterized the growth of this business which then enabled it to rope-in customers with potentialities. Now the company’s turnover has exceeded 10 Million.
Moreover RB Tech Solutions had many helpful clients added both from within and outside this country and also had an ever increasing team who were supportive of it day today . The team is currently brainstorming on some new products.
His recent activities show that his ingenuity is now beginning to bear fruit. He’s currently introducing revolutionary ideas one after another that meet specific customer’s desires.
