Tech, Memoir, Social & Thoughtful Life Experience Chronicle

Retiring before the age of 40—an endeavour that many consider a far-off fantasy. Yet, through determination and unyielding persistence, I transformed this distant dream into a tangible reality. In this fast-paced life, it is crucial to pause, reflect, and relish in our achievements before embarking on new adventures. In the tapestry of my life, I share a collection of struggles that transcend the ordinary “I bet you can’t top that.”

#Memoir

After nearly two decades, I’ve bid farewell to my Karm Bhoomi, NCR, as I step into a purpose-led new chapter in Madhya Pradesh. Grateful for the experiences and challenges that strengthened my vision, resilience, and leadership — building me, one struggle at a time.

I’m Dushyant Gadewal, a small-town dreamer turned tech entrepreneur and advisor. From chasing cricket dreams and Indian Army SSB interviews to riding solo across India, my journey has been fueled by passion, curiosity, and a relentless drive to explore the unconventional.

My professional foundation was laid at NIT Rourkela, where I graduated in Computer Science & Engineering in 2006—an experience that instilled in me the problem-solving mindset and deep appreciation for technology that continues to guide my work.

Over the years, I’ve contributed to the growth of early tech movers like Travelguru (Desiya), Vriti Infocom, and Nagarro, embracing fast-paced innovation and product-first thinking. I later joined PeopleStrong as an early tech team member, where I played a pivotal role in its product journey and subsequently became a shareholder, witnessing the evolution of one of India’s leading HR tech platforms from the inside for a decade.

These stepping stones culminated in the launch of ArcTop Labs—my own tech venture recognized under the #StartupIndia initiative. Here, I brought my learnings full circle, building platforms and solutions that power businesses in a rapidly evolving digital world.

In 2022, after two decades in the industry, I stepped away from full-time employment #RetireAt40 to pursue work rooted in freedom, creativity, and long-term impact. Now, I guide students, startups, and businesses as a tech advisor—helping them align technology with vision, growth, and strategic clarity.

Through my blog, NextStruggle, I share personal memoirs, tech insights, and social reflections drawn from a life of experiments, risks, and reinvention.
