Meet a 23-year old from India running a $20,000,000 company in the US

Kesava's went to a prestigious International School called United World College so I wouldn't beat the Indian education system up over this. His low grade - 27 out of 45 - probably indicates he was focusing on bigger things outside his formal studies. However, just by the language he uses, and some knowledge about the International Baccalaureate I can tell his schooling added to his natural intelliegence. Personally, I would grade his school highly, because his ability in the real world is far more important.

One thing to note about Keshava English, he studied at UWC Mahindra College, which is an ultra-expensive international boarding school that has an English language immersion program (equivalent to Phillips Exeter Academy) but he is smart enough and resourceful from a family perspective to study in it.

to get ou of this system , this matrix system that will do everything to keep you poor with high taxation bad salary , no opportunities to travel or to learn is something amazing he did it .... unfortunately many people are stucked in this system

In the US, Silicon Valley especially they let the individual thrive & succeed & get recognition for that success with society's help along the way. But in India, the individuals success becomes a matter of everyone's pride & success story meaning everyone needs a cut/recognition from that success even if they got no special help from their community to succeed in said field and even if they did they need to benefit from that success. Eg. Why was Kamala Harris's indigenous village where her grandfather's grandfather or father was from celebrating her success like it was their own? She has never been an Indian and has never asked for or done anything for that community. She's becomes VP of US to help the people of US of which she's a citizen. It's the individualist vs collectivist mindset. Also the collectivist mindset put a lot of pressure on the person who does succeed and obssess over them for a long long time disallowing others to come in. Whereas in Silicon Valley today's there's Kesava who did his thing, tomorrow there will be another & the day after more of others. They don't stop. They keep going. Keep building ontop of one another's ideas, let people get their due credit and move on. Money system has been set that it will come to you. You just have to do the job. Not like you'll do the job and still you get no wage, no reward, no compensation, no recognition for it. It's all in the mentality we've set up as a society. It's not about just fixing it, we have to always be willing to fix & change as time requires.

Indians have a lot of ambition that's why they thrive in the US. It's funny that despite having that suppressed ambition people aren't able to build a thriving environment for that ambition. And I don't think thats necessarily on just being open to funding but what precedes it; social mentality. Who can succeed and has a lot to do with gender, age, caste, perception etc etc. It's a big commentary that I think also includes a kind of numbness & confusion that the population has been experiencing since achieving "freedom". Freedom not just from colonial rule, but a sudden shift from monarchies to democracy, barter & social class structured jobs to capitalism & trade etc etc.

Is he talking about the IB programme in highschool? Isn't that out of 45?

What's wrong with working on a farm? Everyone makes this rags to riches story when literally a majority in India is from one way or another from an agricultural background. I also dislike simpler lifestyles being painted as rags when farming is not always equal to poverty.

Thanks for interviewing and introducing this young man. This kid is definetly going places. This Indian younger generation is amazing, so entreprunerial . A very good interview.

Why is he faking an accent after spending just 4 years in US?

These south indian Tamil kids from Tamil Nadu are phenomenal. Tamils excel in chess in India . Tamil Nadu is the Chess capital of India. Tamils also predominate as ISRO scientists Tamil's are a global enigma 🎉

if your family and Daddy has money in India, you can do whatever F you want check everyones story, either kids of babus or businessmen

she is mesmerized by his ideas, the way he talks and his young age! can see that excitement in both of their eyes!

How did he lose his Indian accent?

Make money honestly and legally. Don't regret of history. Be good at what you do and be humble and use your strength to succeed in your life.

Another Chennai guy... With SVG 😅









Ps: commenting from outskirts of Chennai 😂

I wonder where you can find a hacker house in San Francisco, I also want to live in such a house, I want to move from New York to Silicon Valley

Just imagine millions of high school students, college students watch this mr proud and lost their motivation, power , passion and desire of completing their path towards what they want because of this lucky man and ended jobless or salesman or taxi drivers . I was an example who left my own education as reaction of this stories to start a business and lost money lost certificate lost a job . now am under zero all just because of these type stories .
And remember there a lot millions of talent very young very smart hard worker who end broken .

We need much more content like this sis. I'm from India 16..y.o..i always like to watch your content.. So I need more content like this for student's good.. ❤❤🎉

Solving Rubik's cube that way..is the best introduction anyone could ever get, I hats off to the video team here...! Obviously the one solving is good but recognising is good too!

This guy is not just a big inspiration for us but also he is so humble ❤ from Brazil Thank tou so much❤

Born in a farm yet went to UWC Mahindra and speaks Engish fluently- difficult to believe. But very impressive guy no doubt

He sounds just like Sundar Pichai🙂

Really good points on how the world is changing with ai. That automation process of taking input from people and then trained itself. Adaptation is key for us People. Hope everyone, will achieve what they want along with growing AI❤

He is an year younger than me and have already achived almost everything I ever wanted in my life (while I was finishing college and writing code for others).

😮

Marina should marry keshava ❤

Absolutely amazing!!!! Really enjoyed watching this.

I had some skepticism about this guy's story(esp B1 to O1 to EB1) when I viewed it few months ago. People run creative scams for the greencard these days. Now I am interested how his startup is coming along? I know VCs poured money in 20/21/22 & there are tons of startups which rose overnight doing random things & now dying one after another. So is this another such blip or truly something I should be inspired by?

The rubix cube 🎉

How did he go to US with zero dollar ?

he said 'like' so many times throught the interview

Brain drain 😢

India has many special gifted guys
Now india is far way backward , little or more prejudices ,

Perhaps Mr Modi if he hears or watches this video

Modi can somewhat help India put forward

There are thousands Indians who don’t see themselves going to back to India

Why haha — I don’t want to answer

Nice video - thank you

How is the product different from ui path? Ui path has been there for quite some time.

What a great story, not a victim mentality, a winner mentality.

I hope, that: "N.R.I.s":
(ALL of those, from/of: "Indian_Origin/Descent"): can some-how:
"Contribute, to: "The [very]_-Indian_Economy"".
-M.K.S.
-(M.K.S. they can!!)!!!!

Hey @SiliconValleyGirl iam following you for quite a while - great great video. Can you interview someone who has a family and is not early 20? The reason is, that I really badly want to move to the US (as a Developer) and want to be part of this - I also will visit the valley in november - but it would be nice to see how families hadle the business in valley.

Love From India

Tamils are bloody intelligent !

plz give your fb id.I want to talk with you

I am from Pakistan and I truly appreciate Indians. I am glad that I can understand their language and can learn from them.❤❤❤

how does she not a spotify/apple podcast??

Индииц и русская в чужой стране на чужом языке разговаривают про жизнь. Она для контента, с ней то понятно. Он - талантлив, но в его стране это не оценивается, каки в России. На этом индийцы американцы сделают ещё больше денег.

Парень молодец, от души.

Is there any success 'story' that comes to the US with more than Zero dollars 😂. I mean, how much does a plane ticket cost 😎

She's a blessing to her family please i need a Financial Advisor.
