Advait Thakur's relationship with technology started unusually early. He began coding at age 6, and by the time he was 9 years old, he had already launched his first website. What began as childhood curiosity eventually grew into Apex Infosys India, a company now working in IoT (Internet of Things) and AI, reportedly valued in the multi-million-dollar range.

His journey stands out because there was no single "startup moment" - no one pitch or one big idea. Instead, it was years of consistent, early exposure to building things, long before most people even consider technology as a career path.

For students who feel like they're "starting late" in tech because they're in Class 10 or 11 and haven't built anything yet, Advait's story is a useful reminder that early starts help, but they aren't a requirement - what matters more is consistency once you do start.

His current work in IoT and AI reflects where a lot of Indian hardware-adjacent innovation is heading: not just software, but physical devices that use AI to become smarter.
