Digital Desk: Kishan Bagaria's remarkable journey exemplifies how determination, curiosity, and access to online resources can pave the way for extraordinary achievements, even without a traditional college degree. Hailing from Assam and educated in Dibrugarh, Kishan's passion for coding ignited at the young age of twelve through online tutorials. 

His journey took a significant leap forward with the creation of texts.com, an innovative app designed to aggregate messages from various platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp into a unified dashboard, ensuring user convenience and privacy with end-to-end encryption. The prototype quickly gained traction among users, propelled by positive feedback and enthusiastic word-of-mouth recommendations.

In 2020, Kishan's dedication bore fruit when Automattic, the parent company of WordPress, recognized the app's potential and acquired texts.com for an impressive $50 million (approximately ₹416 crore). This acquisition not only validated Kishan's entrepreneurial spirit but also brought him accolades from industry leaders, including Matt Mullenweg, who hailed him as a "generational tech genius."

Presently, Kishan Bagaria continues to lead texts.com under Automattic's wing, expanding its capabilities and user base from the United States. His story serves as a testament to the boundless opportunities enabled by technology and the invaluable role of determination and self-education in achieving remarkable success in the modern age.
