So the entire thing was more about getting the platform up and running. So I threw a very basic thing to begin with. I made it on my own. Once I got that up and running, then I went out to people talking to them about it. Once they got on board, I realized there's a lot of market for it. And then we thought we had a lot of people come back and said, try doing it on social media.
But we realized one thing. Nobody's out there in social media looking for death. So we start talking to people. Every individual I've been around, I travel a lot. At every airport, I must have spoken to 30 people every time. And I've had people come back and say, I want to sign up. I've gone to another country and people say, yes, I love the idea. People come back.

That's where we got more people coming on board because of touching lives, because of talking to people.

So I think life for everyone is a little different. For me, it was a lot different as well. I grew up across the world in 36 different countries. I went to school every year in a different country. And it was fascinating because I never had any friends. The only friends that I had were my two brothers and my dad and mom. Because you move in every year. So from there, but landed in New York.

I made my first software at the age of 18 and sold it off for $75,000. Just being a sophomore college student, I knew nothing about C++, but went into an organization, made that software. And that's where I realized, no, I've got that neck. My dad wanted me to get into more of IT or get into being a doctor because both my brothers are doctors. I said, no, I can't.

I think I'm okay with blood, but it was never about, I don't want to earn. I want to make something different. And that's where I started my journey. I've done all kinds of jobs. I've worked with hotels. I've worked with being a salesman. I've trained people across the world in different countries. And then eventually started about, I had a restaurant as well back in India.

So I had that, sold it off, and I said, fine, what do I want to do next? Made a dating app, didn't work, shelved it, and I said, fine, what now? And when my mom went away, this is when Life Index really happened. And yes, we did have those little failures when people would come back and say, no, it won't work. I said, why would it not work? You've got Facebook. Facebook worked.

This person who spoke about Facebook, he went from college to college talking to people. And that's how it worked. And today people don't have to talk. They don't even have to empathize. People come on. Yeah, you create a snowball effect.
