This scenario may seem like a dream, but it is a persistent reality in which we live. Smartphones have completely altered the way information is delivered and consumed, making it accessible to people and giving them the power to change their lives.

My love for software development led me to attend an Android Workshop in 2012. The workshop, though short, got me extremely motivated to start developing apps on my own. I would code for hours on end, fixing and debugging the apps. After about a month of rigorous coding, I released my first app, Ultra Explorer, a multi-purpose File Manager with gesture recognition and smart search. As a token of thanks to all developers who had helped me start on this beautiful journey, I released the app as opensource. I was pleasantly surprised when my app was featured on XDA-Developer (an online developer’s community having more than 6.8 million members) and within 24 hours, it was downloaded 10,000 times. This boosted my confidence and reaffirmed my faith that I was making a difference through my work. I went further and started developing apps for clients as a freelancer. Now I boast a clientele of companies like DroidKitchen, JRummy Apps and many more. My clients are highly successful with some apps crossing 200,000 downloads within a month of launch. I also maintain a personal portfolio of successful apps under pseudonym Kshark
