Deprived Of Education But Not Of Knowledge: 

Rohit Kashyap hails from Patna and he discontinued his education post Class VII due to his family's financial constraints. Though Rohit didn't go to school, he never stopped education. He continued to study at home and enrolled under the Bihar School Examination Board. Along with the home study, he also explored various interests in him like entrepreneurship. He used to participate in several science and maths Olympiads and won them too. He cleared the CA Foundation exam and was ranked among the top 1,000 in the ICAI Commerce Wizard. Alongside, he started exploring his interests like entrepreneurship.  In 2016, when he was just 14 years old, Rohit founded a food-tech startup called Foodcubo.

After serving more than 10k customers, it was acquired by a global platform in 2018. Rohit opted for open learning rather than going to a college and continued to embrace his passion for startups alongside studying. He was a self-taught coder. He also started developing software for clients and has co-founded various companies. He eventually became an influencer on Quora and also started a blog on entrepreneurship. Within just 6 months, he got 10 million views on his content and his blog also received a good user base. “People were interested in entrepreneurship and startups, but they faced a lot of problems while starting up because of lack of proper mentorship,” he said. This is what drove him forward to help first-time entrepreneurs.
