Meet Rounak Adhikary: Ashneer Grover once told him Tu Baith Jaa Yaar and cut off his pitch mid-sentence; now he's living every startup founder's dream

Dismissed by Ashneer Grover with a curt 'Tu baith jaa yaar' four years ago, Rounak Adhikary's startup, ProjectX, has now been accepted into the prestigious Y Combinator accelerator. Overcoming over 200 rejections and personal bankruptcy, Adhikary's journey, shaped by childhood bullying and a slow computer, highlights resilience and unwavering conviction in pursuing ambitious dreams against all odds.
