While his father initially encouraged him to pursue government services such as IAS or PCS, Aaryan aspired to become an entrepreneur and build something of his own.
Journey at SkillBridge Program
After completing school, Aaryan got to know about the SkillBRIDGE Programme through his friend. Recognizing the growing importance of industry-relevant skills, AI tools, and employability training, he enrolled in the program with the aim of preparing himself for today’s competitive job market.

Through this role, he currently earns a monthly income of ₹15,000–₹20,000.
Entrepreneurial Venture – LaserLoom
Alongside his job, Aaryan is actively developing his own startup, LaserLoom.

The venture aims to offer high-quality, precision-based designs for items such as gifts, nameplates, décor products, and customized branding materials.
