(Aditya Shaw, Intern Journalist): Getting out of the dusty lanes of the Kabir Colony on Anoopshahar Road, the path was not easy for Aamir Qutub, the former secretary of the Aligarh Muslim University Students Union, who founded a multinational company in Australia. Aamir, who left for the job of a multinational company in Delhi and reached Australia, also swept the airport and distributed newspapers there. After this, in 2014, the digital service provider opened a multinational company, which today is offering its services in seven different countries.
Aamir Qutub, living in Australia, said that he belongs to a middle-class family. His parents also wanted, like crores of a middle-class family, that his son become a doctor, but his mind was always engaged in some innovative activities. After 12th, he took admission in Mechanic in Engineering at Aligarh Muslim University. It was thought that there would be a chance to make and understand some new machines here, but it was soon discovered that they are the same old definitions and old chapters from which they have come out of class 12.
Throughout engineering, he got suffocated as to why he was unable to do anything. During this time, he contested the post of secretary in the student union in 2011 and achieved success. The benefit of this was understood by the nuances of Mila’s leadership.
After completing his studies, he got a job in a Honda company in Delhi, but then he was not satisfied. He moved to Australia by getting a student visa, but came here and felt that perhaps he has taken a wrong decision. Relatives also started making fun of him. In such a situation, only courage. Knocked on the door for 170 places here in 4 months, but success was not achieved. After this, he joined the cleaning staff at the airport. Also distributed newspapers. After a long struggle, he started the company for digital solutions, which has now become a successful company.
In a full class, the teacher said, “Write down, you can’t do anything in life.”
During the course of engineering studies, a teacher in the whole class had said that you write and take it, Aamir, you cannot do anything in your life. This was heartbreaking, but a few days later Tech Fest was organized by a multinational company at the university. It secured second place for the innovative model. It was also coincidental that the awardees were the same teachers who said that you cannot do anything in life.
