A few years ago, Suraj Biswas was navigating Bengaluru's streets as a food delivery rider while teaching himself coding between orders. Today, he is the founder of Assessli, an artificial intelligence startup recognised among the top AI ventures on global startup platform F6S. His journey from delivering food to building AI-powered solutions highlights how access to learning, determination and flexible work opportunities helped turn a side hustle into a technology venture, reported TOI.
Back home, his father worked as a labourer and carried a simple but powerful dream — that his son would one day become a doctor. However, the realities of higher education soon made that dream difficult to pursue. Tuition fees, rent, food and transportation costs mounted quickly, and Suraj realised that waiting for circumstances to improve was not a viable strategy.
