How to Earn at the Top
The fastest path to ₹15+ LPA in employed work, or ₹3L+/month freelance:
- Get certified — verifiable proof of skill matters more than years of experience.
- Build a public portfolio — 2–3 live builds, documented.
- Specialize in one industry or one tool stack — generalists make less.
- Develop business judgment — the consultants who command ₹2L+/month know revenue, not just systems.
