NiceRigs

• New Delhi, Delhi, India

• Founder

  • May 2020 - Sep 2021

  Started building custom gaming and mining rigs. Technically, I did scale it to a healthy 6 figure revenue business within a couple of months. Got hit with the realisation that there must be an actual value-add in whatever you build. Shut it down because of the semi-conductor shortage and also because my dad wouldn't let me use his credit card to get GPU drops :D Had fun, made my first income, and was happy. That's pretty much it. Started building custom gaming and mining rigs. Technically, I did scale it to a healthy 6 figure revenue business within a couple of months.

Cryptya

• New Delhi, Delhi, India

• Founder

  • Jun 2021 - Jul 2021

  Wanted fellow gamers to enjoy the feels of owning a top-of-the-line RTX rig (and make some money in the process). Idea was to lease out rigs, make customers mine Ethereum and take a cut. Clearly wasn't a sustainable business model and despite being scalable, based heavily on speculation at multiple levels. Ethereum announced its PoS merger and it didn't look like it was going to be delayed again. Dropped the idea within a month.
