Forged in Adversity: The Relentless Rise of a Self-Made Man | Aquil ur Rahaman | TEDxVCOE
This isn’t just a success story—it’s a survival story. I wasn’t handed anything. Every step of my journey has been a battle: against doubt, failure, fear, and the odds stacked against me. But through grit, sacrifice, and relentless hustle, I built something real.In this video, I open up about the unseen struggles behind the scenes—the late nights, the rejections, the failures that nearly broke me, and the mindset that refused to quit. If you’re chasing a dream, building your vision from scratch, or fighting to rise—this is for you.Let my journey remind you: it’s not about where you start. It’s about how hard you’re willing to fight for where you're going.
