who is Boobesh,
actually?

I got near tech very early. Maybe 2nd or 3rd standard. My father had a touchscreen phone when almost nobody in my family had one, back when touchscreen phones were still rare. So yes, I used to flex it. But more than flexing, I explored it. Settings. Random options. Features nobody told me about.

In 4th standard I started playing with the photo editing tools on a Samsung phone that had an old S-Pen. Not the one you see today, an older one. You could stretch faces, add filters, make silly edits. That was the first time technology felt interesting to me. I knew nothing about programming or careers. I just liked opening things to see what was inside.

During my 5th standard holidays I joined a computer training institute, even though computers were already a subject in school. I joined because I liked computers. To be honest, I also played a lot of games on those systems. But something else was happening quietly. Curiosity. I was never a sports person. I liked screens more than playgrounds.

Around then my parents bought me a second hand computer, and I broke it in about a year and a half. Not by dropping it. By installing too much software. It was a 4GB RAM machine and I kept adding random tools, testing things, opening everything, until it gave up. The computer died. The curiosity did not.

10th standard. Corona time. My parents bought me a tablet for online classes, and I used it for a lot more than classes. I started watching videos about programming. That is where I first heard about Python. I did not really learn it then, but I understood that programming languages exist. I also kept seeing Byju's and Vedantu ads everywhere, and even though I never joined them, those ads quietly showed me what EdTech was.

Then one day I searched the thing almost every student searches. How to make money online. That search changed something. I found reselling. Sharechat was trending at the time, and after some digging I noticed kitchen utilities were selling well, mostly to housewives, and housewives were very active on Sharechat.

So I tried it. Posting pictures of kitchen products, taking orders, reselling them. The money was small. The lesson was not. That was my first taste of sales, and the point where tech curiosity started mixing with business.

In my third year, my friend and I decided to go in different directions. He is more into marketing, so he started his own thing, and honestly I am happy for him. It let me go deeper into Gari Tech. Right now most of our clients come through referrals and trials.

In 2025 I started a community called Start The Up. Simple idea, get students thinking like founders. We ran four webinars. Then engagement dropped, and it stopped. Just like that. Around the same time I started Vizhva, a learning initiative about how Gen Z actually learns, and I paused that one too.

If you open my laptop's project drive today, you will find more than 50 projects, and 20 to 30 of them unfinished. That says something about me. I start fast. I get excited fast. And sometimes I jump to the next idea before finishing the last one. Maybe it is shiny object syndrome. Maybe I just like new things more than repeating old ones.

Maybe you also have folders full of ideas. Projects you started with full excitement, told your friends about, genuinely believed in. And then slowly, you stopped. Not because you are lazy. Because something new caught your eye. A new idea, a new chance, a new direction. Suddenly the old thing feels boring. So you move again.

If that sounds like you, you are not alone. I am still working out how to turn curiosity into consistency.

Right now I lead marketing at Tribe Fortis and run content marketing at Your College Senior, while Gari Tech keeps going in the background. I am also interning as a backend developer, mostly Python and FastAPI, learning how systems hold up in real projects.

So I am learning two things at once. How to build systems, and how to build the story around them. Engineering on one side, brand on the other. Somewhere in the middle, I am still working out how the two connect.
