THE JOURNEY OF THE 18-YEAR-OLD STARTING HIS OWN COMPANY.

Hussain was an early starter. He was just 12 years when he started learning coding and programming on his own. Having said that, he had struggled a lot to reach this stage. According to him, nobody used to take him seriously so he had to make his bedroom his office.
Employing skilful people and guiding them to transfer knowledge to every individual was not at all an easy task for us.

Hackerkernel’s USP is they focus on newer technology and leave no stone unturned to give a hands-on experience to the clients.
HOW DID IT ALL START?

Hussain did not plan for a start-up company when he was 18 years old. He used to do freelancing jobs as a web developer with a simple aim: to pay his internet bill. Later, he also took freelance projects wherein, his clients loved his work.
Hussain got an offer to build an e-commerce website for a local fast-food brand to which he could not deny. “My first customer was a local fast-food brand,” Hussain says. He says the outlet served finger-licking burgers, but the owner was unaware of the internet’s potential.
The people at the local fast-food chain were impressed by seeing Hussain’s work and gave him 5000 for it. On earning Rs 5000, he was very happy as now he could pay his internet bill for 6 months. Back then this helped him with a good start and now, he realizes that he could have earned around 80,000-90,000 for that website.
