🚀 Step-by-Step Roadmap (2025–2032)

Coding (Web, App, AI, Blockchain)
Video editing & graphic design
Digital marketing (SEO, Social Media, Funnels)

₹1L/month+ by 2027 if you scale or specialize
📱 3. Leverage Social Media (2025–2032)
India's creator economy is exploding. Build a brand.
Start a YouTube channel, Instagram page, or podcast
