A 20‑year‑old from Bihar, who began working at 14, now earns about Rs 4 lakh a month and says he has financially retired his mother, drawing widespread attention online.
A young man from Bihar, now 20, disclosed that he started earning at the age of 14 and has since built a monthly income of roughly Rs 4 lakh, despite never completing a formal degree. He attributes his earnings to self‑taught skills and online ventures that grew steadily over the years.
The entrepreneur said his earnings have enabled him to support his family fully, allowing him to “retire” his mother financially at just 20. He highlighted that the income covers all household expenses and provides a safety net for future needs.
His story quickly went viral on social media platforms, where netizens praised the achievement as a testament to the potential of self‑learning and digital entrepreneurship. Commentators noted that such examples could inspire other youth to explore non‑traditional career paths.
Experts pointed out that while the case is exceptional, it underscores a broader shift in India’s job market, where skill‑based, online work is increasingly valued over conventional academic credentials.
