""I was rejected by 47 investors. The 48th changed everything. But honestly, those 47 rejections were the best education I ever got.""

Arjun grew up in a small apartment in Bhubaneswar. His father was a government clerk. His mother taught at the local school. He built his first app at 19, got rejected by every investor in the room, and kept going. Today his startup connects 500 rural villages to digital health services.
