The baddest of bad day - Story of Sohil Jain

Yes, it was the day when he turned 17 (13th Aug 2007) and took one small website security project (the hacked website project) from digitalpoint.com so that Sohil could buy a bike for the earned money as a birthday present.

Someone said that when you know nothing about tasks that got assigned to you, just accept them, quietly learn about them, and prove that you are the best at them!

So ,here is the story of Sohil Jain

He was browsing digitalpoint.com, found one alert thread asking for help with a hacked website . He hits the thread with the response "I'm a security researcher and can clean and patch your site”. Luckily his response was the first one. The way he confidently wrote that he is a security researcher, led to positive results. She was impressed with his words and assigned me the project for $230 (around INR12,000) with a deadline of 72 hours. He does get $100 in advance as a part of the deal .

At the time he hadn't even heard about security patches, it was a really dangling target. From the fear of getting suspended from the forum and refunding the $100, Sohil started learning Linux & security patches, preventing sites from malware, etc. After 3 days of research work, he became 20% more skilled on the topic with the help of GURU Google. He had no other option, but to start working on code and clean patched code with the help of online scanners like Securi. He finally cleaned almost 80% of the website, but all those actions took around 6 days, which was almost double the time of the deadline.

Conclusion ? He missed the deadline and refunded the $100 as a penalty. Overall Sohil gained some good basic knowledge of website patches and interest in computer programming after that catastrophic, and that was the beginning of his so-called #GOLDEN startup career.

In the same year, Sohil Jain started MNCHOST.com, a server, and hosting company. He got around 11 orders of $3.50 in that year because of the low quality of his server website which themed as Indian. Indians get a lower global price. The best that he did for MNC HOST is the support system . He was able to maintain max 30-minute support response for every client signed up on his server website. For accomplishing commitments of max 30 mins support response time, He set a loud alarm so that when any ticket comes, he responds within 30 mins. The support response time had to be maintained even when he was sleeping or eating as it was commitment in writing - The core feature of his first MNC company. That worked !!. The unbiased reviews from those 11 orders brought him 1000+ clients including renowned clients like AVAST and the Bank of America in 2-3 years. :)

In 2008 he started TechNIERA Inc in the USA - the dream search engine project having a neutral and unbiased search algorithm to search premium open-source software and scripts in the one-click rather than paid software references as in Google.

He also started working on Fiverr for $5. In 1 year he became level 2 seller with 99% positive rating and 1000+ orders. Isn't sounds better? Well, the real twist of Sohil's Life started from here. He got into one of the good colleges of India (NIT Raipur). As we all can assume, he took B.tech computer science as a major stream.

Because 10-hours attendance is compulsory at the NIT college I started working on my secret projects after college from 5 PM to 4 AM.

Because of these challenges and finding opportunities on the same challenges, he is the owner of 11 major incorporations in the world. His aim was not to become a billionaire like Bill Gates but to do something good for society by digital transformation means.
