Sachin's entrepreneurial journey started when he was just in elementary/middle school selling candy, stickers, and toys to other kids at school
When he was a pre-teen he launched an eBay store and sold old things around his house that wasn't being used anymore and he made 5 figures by 13 years old
He got his first job at just 14 years old as a paid marketing intern at a tech company. This company recruited Sachin to join their team after seeing his experience and LinkedIn profile.
Now at 17, he makes hundreds of dollars per episode on his podcast from his sponsors - these companies hire Sachin to be a brand ambassador for their product/service. He has made thousands from his podcast and the numbers keep going up.
Sachin's slogan is "O'ChakDe!" O'ChakDe is a Punjabi word and means "Go For It!"
He's also a big believer in his quote, "It's all about the power of ask" (meaning asking for help from people you look up to is very crucial in entrepreneurship and podcasting)
