#AskDushyant Reflections on Technology, Memoir & Thoughtful Living
NextStruggle is not a publishing platformāit is a system I architected to capture and scale thinking. Every layer, from content creation to infrastructure, is built and controlled by me, enabling ideas to evolve beyond static writing into structured intelligence. Combining long-form depth with micro insights, it transforms experience into a compounding knowledge base. As a tech founder, Iām not just writingāIām engineering a platform that learns and evolves into the AskDushyant AI persona. āFrom code to cognition, I turn thinking into scalable systems.ā
Even the richest person are crushed under 'Loan Burden', @subhashchandra latest example.
Thatās the harsh truth, Iāve lived too.
With loan burden, every risk becomes reckless. #Leadership #Innovation #FinancialWisdom #AskDushyant #NextStruggle
In 2009, I returned to my village, Mohad near Kareli, Madhya Pradesh, seeking something I could not yet define. A simple bike ride on my Bajaj Avenger became more than a journeyāit became a path to self-reflection. The rustic roads, open fields, and silent skies created a space where thoughts slowed down and clarity quietly emerged. Village life in Mohad had its own rhythm, untouched by urgency, deeply rooted in tradition, and beautifully connected to nature. Riding through Kareliās countryside, I felt a rare stillness, something modern life often forgets but the soul deeply understands. Those days were spent with…
Every tech enthusiast dreams of building a powerful machine, and for me, that dream turned into reality. As a CSE graduate from NIT Rourkela with 20+ years in the tech industry, I always wanted a system that could handle high-performance computing and AI workloads. Building my SuperComputing AI cum Gaming Rig became more than just assembling partsāit was a personal passion project that tested my patience, technical skill, and love for hardware. Inside My Custom-Built Supercomputer The journey started with carefully chosen components: a Ryzen 9 processor with AM5 socket, high-frequency 64GB RAM, AIO liquid cooler, blazing-fast 2TB NVMe SSD,…
Growing up, visiting my fatherās workplace was always a fascinating adventure. As a child, I frequently accompanied him to the Sarni Power Plant on rugged Rajdoot motorcycle, marveling at the massive machinery and relishing hearty meals at the plant’s canteen. Those visits werenāt just about seeing where my father spent his days but also about learning the significance of hard work and dedication in powering the nation. Fast forward to 2013, during my Maha Kumbh biking journey, I made a detour to Sirmour Hydro Electric Plant, where my father was then posted. Riding my Bajaj Avenger, I spent a day…

For the last few years, AI in the workplace has played one role consistently: the assistant that waits for a question. You typed a prompt, it typed back an answer,…
For the last three years, the AI conversation lived entirely inside a chat window. In 2026 Whoever sees Nvidia Events, Now say AI is walking out the door ā literally,…
Every major shift in technology starts the same way: something takes power away from where it used to live and puts it somewhere more convenient. The app did that to…
Every enterprise wants an AI agent that can read the contract, touch the customer database, and make a decision ā and almost every enterprise is terrified to let it. That…
Walk into any boardroom in 2026 and you’ll hear it within the first ten minutes: “We need a frontier AI model strategy.” Nobody stops to define it. Everybody nods anyway….
Iām Dushyant Gadewalā#AskDushyant, 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 2006āan experience that shaped my problem-solving mindset and long-term view of technology.
Over the last two decades, Iāve lived and worked through the GurgaonāNCR startup ecosystem, experiencing it across multiple cyclesāearly-stage experimentation, rapid scale-ups, and acquisitions. My journey spans hands-on roles at Travelguru (Desiya), Vriti Infocom, and Nagarro, where I operated in fast-moving environments that demanded product-first thinking and execution at speed.
In 2010, I joined PeopleStrong as an early member of the core technology team, where I played a hands-on role in shaping the platformās foundational product architecture. Over nearly a decade, I had the opportunity to see the organisation scale into one of Indiaās leading HR technology companies. Importantly, this journey gave me perspective not only as a technologist, but also as a shareholderāincluding exit participation in its April 2025āGoldman Sachsāled transactionāand, therefore, a front-row view of how disciplined long-term technology and product decisions compound into sustainable enterprise value.
These experiences ultimately came together in the founding of ArcTop Labs, my own venture recognized under the #StartupIndia DIPP7405 initiative. Here, I apply everything learned from the startup trenchesābuilding scalable, resilient technology platforms designed for real-world business impact, not just launch-day success.
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 advisorāhelping 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.
Letās connect if you’re building, transforming, or simply seeking clarity in your tech journey.
