New Delhi: In today's world, when starting a startup is considered a difficult task, a 24-year-old entrepreneur claims to have built a startup worth Rs 1 crore in just four months. His story is not just about rapid success, but also about identifying the right problem and acting in it immediately. Now this story, which has gone viral on social media, has both surprised and inspired people.

How did he came up with this idea?

The 24-year-old Ujjwal Nargotra, who is  the founder of LinkPlease, said he came up with this idea after observing a major problem in the creator economy. He noticed that content creators were creating great videos and posts, but couldn't handle the thousands of DMs and comments they received. This led him to believe that automating this process could create significant opportunities for creators.

How did the startup built in 4 months?

Instead of overthinking, Ujjwal decided to act quickly. He quit his job and built a basic version of the platform. It wasn't perfect, but it was good enough for users to use. 

His platform, LinkPlease, helps creators automate audience engagement, helping them catch missed messages and opportunities. Gradually, more than 10,000 creators joined the platform, and the product was improved based on user feedback. 

Now, Ujjwal claims that his startup has reached the Rs 1 crore mark without any external funding.

What is the next target?

Now, Ujjwal's next goal is to take his startup from Rs 1 crore to Rs 10 crore. He believes that if the right problem is solved quickly, growth will follow.

How are users reacting?

While many are praising his success, some are also raising questions. Several users have asked what the $10 million figure is. Is it revenue or just total value? 

Some compared it to platforms like ManyChat and SuperBio, asking what's new. 

One user wrote that true success is determined by retention and verified revenue, while another said that rapid execution is the real game changer.
