For years, many Indians believed wealth was created only through business, real estate, gold, or luck.

For years, society pushed one message into the minds of students: “Learn coding. Become a software developer. That is where the future is.” But the future quietly changed while most people were still attending coding bootcamps. Today, AI can write code in seconds. A junior developer may spend three hours...
