Career Plan: Entrepreneur in IoT and AI-Based Systems
Introduction
Ever since my engineering journey began, I have been fascinated by how interconnected
technology can transform human life. From smart homes that learn our habits to intelligent
traffic systems that reduce congestion, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence
(AI) represent the next frontier of innovation. My career goal is to become an entrepreneur who
builds intelligent IoT-based systems and AI-driven solutions for real-world challenges in India. I
believe that combining IoT hardware innovation with AI-powered data analysis can redefine
industries such as healthcare, agriculture, and urban infrastructure.
Rather than just working for a company, I want to create one — a company that not only offers
innovative solutions but also nurtures young engineering talent. This vision was inspired by
observing entrepreneurs like Ritesh Agarwal, the founder of OYO, who started with limited
resources but built a global brand through bold thinking and smart technology adoption.
Similarly, I aim to build an organization that leverages AI and IoT to make technology
accessible, affordable, and impactful.
Career Roadmap
At age 25 – Foundation and Learning Phase
Position/Status: Graduate Engineer / Early-stage Entrepreneur
Skills Acquired: IoT system design, AI basics (Python, TensorFlow), embedded systems,
networking fundamentals, project management, and startup incubation experience.
Strategy/Roadmap: By 25, I plan to complete my engineering degree and gain hands-on
experience through internships in IoT startups or tech companies. My goal at this stage is to
understand product design, customer needs, and market gaps. I will also work on small-scale
IoT projects—like a smart energy monitoring system or an AI-based waste segregation
prototype—to build a personal portfolio. Alongside, I’ll participate in startup incubation
programs, hackathons, and university innovation cells to gain exposure to entrepreneurial
ecosystems.
At age 30 – Startup Launch and Market Entry
Position/Status: Founder & CEO of an early-stage IoT-AI startup
Skills Acquired: Business strategy, fundraising, leadership, AI model deployment, cloud
computing, data analytics, and marketing.
Strategy/Roadmap: By 30, I aim to officially launch my own company focused on developing IoT
solutions for smart environments—such as predictive maintenance systems for industries or
AI-driven monitoring tools for agriculture. I’ll focus on building a small but skilled team of
engineers, designers, and marketers who share the same vision. Funding will come from startup
