Social media is celebrating a Mumbai techie who turned a second-hand laptop into a profit-making machine. In just 200 days, he went from making his first dollar to earning over $2,800 as a solopreneur. The culmination of his hard work was the purchase of a new MacBook, a moment he described as a dream come true after months of dealing with slow hardware and building a community on X.
