A mechanical engineering diploma holder shared their journey from earning Rs 21,000 per month to generating an annual income of Rs 1-2 crore. In a post on Reddit, the user detailed how he achieved success, becoming an inspiration for many on social media. The user wrote that they want to share how the "system" works, and how they "accidentally found a way to beat it".

It was a "Document Executive" job at a financial firm, as after the COVID-19 pandemic, the job market was "dead", and there were "zero options". Despite working hard, his salary increased by just Rs 2,000 over 4.5 years, from Rs 18,000 to Rs 21,000.
"'Document Executive' is a fancy word for a delivery boy. My job was to collect files from clients, check the papers, and submit them to banks. For 4.5 years, I was the guy running around in the Delhi summer heat and winter fog," they wrote in the post, which received nearly 2,00 upvotes.
