Aryaa-Chapter 3: The Decision to Keep Going
Arya didn’t waste any time. Armed with his passion for technology and the lessons he’d learned, he began working on his first startup idea—a mobile app aimed at small businesses in his town. It was something he understood intimately, having seen firsthand how local shops struggled with outdated technology.
The first few weeks were brutal. Arya had no funding, no team—just himself, a laptop, and a lot of late-night coding. His first version of the app was rudimentary at best. It wasn’t polished, and there were bugs everywhere, but it worked well enough for a test run.
He pitched it to a few local businesses—mom-and-pop shops, a small clothing store, and even the bakery down the street. Most of them laughed it off. “We don’t need something like that,” they said. “We’ve been doing fine for years.”
Rejection after rejection, Arya’s heart sank, but he refused to quit. It had to work.
And then, one day, he met someone who saw potential in him.
After a particularly tough pitch, a local entrepreneur, Mr. Sharma, approached him. Mr. Sharma was an experienced businessman who had started several small companies. He was older and had the wisdom of someone who’d already seen the ups and downs of running a business.
“You’ve got the right idea,” Mr. Sharma said, after hearing Arya’s pitch. “But you need to make it simpler. Don’t just build a product—build a solution people actually need.”
Mr. Sharma took Arya under his wing, offering advice on refining the app, understanding the market, and learning how to network. With Mr. Sharma’s guidance, Arya made adjustments to his product, focused on user experience, and started seeing results.
It took months of refining, failing, and learning, but Arya’s hard work began to pay off. One small business owner, Mrs. Gupta, decided to give his app a shot. It worked. Slowly but surely, Arya’s business started gaining momentum. The app began helping local businesses track inventory, sales, and customer preferences. Word spread, and more businesses signed up.
