‘Rs 100 or Rs 200, start selling’: NEET aspirant shares two dozen success mantra after building Rs 5 crore net worth
Khan, who currently continues his studies at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, said that despite his entrepreneurial success, education remains important.
During the podcast hosted by Shreya Hegde, Khan talked about the balance between academics and running his company and said he continues to learn these lessons and apply them to his work.
Creating a digital asset key for entrepreneurs
Giving advice to young entrepreneurs, Khan emphasized the importance of developing digital identity and building trust through small business efforts.
He suggested that aspiring founders should start by selling a skill, service or advice, even of small value, as it helps build trust and experience.
Khan also emphasized the role of online presence, describing content as a form of digital currency and saying people without an online presence risk being less visible.
Zedital Media’s branding and marketing services
Khan attributed his financial success to his company, Zedital Media, which operates in media advertising and branding. He said the company also provides branding and personal branding services in addition to meme marketing and content distribution.
The firm also offers specialized services including Online Reputation Management (ORM), Content Delivery Management (CDM) and LinkedIn profile boost management.
From NEET preparation to entrepreneurship
Khan said entrepreneurship wasn’t always the career path he planned. Coming from a middle-class family, he initially faced expectations of becoming a doctor and prepared for the NEET medical entrance exam.
He started working on YouTube channels in the 12th grade and later took part in freelance projects. An early opportunity with a California-based influencer helped him earn ₹1.24 lakh.
After finally getting the support of her parents, she switched from NEET preparation to journalism and mass communication. He started his journey with Canon 80D camera and later started a production house.
Claims first crore in 2023
Khan said that he earned his first crore in 2023, when he was 22 years old. He added that he expanded Zedital Media by reinvesting his earnings into the business.
Despite his achievements, Khan said he identified academics as an area in which he wanted to improve, which led him to enroll in IIM Bangalore.
While he defined money as a tool that helps individuals achieve their goals, he also advised young people to avoid impulsive spending.
