The Ineligible Millionaire  (English, Paperback, Tarun Varshney)

Arjun, a talented programmer struggling to get a job because of his poor academics, finds that his father is deeply in debt for a long time. With hope – his love, Shreya, and support – his friend, Raj, he gets roped into underpaying, downright, unfair programming jobs, yet out of necessity, and soon incurs debts of his own. He wonders if he has a destiny? Often lonely and cheated, Arjun swallows a bitter pill and leaves his parents alone to make more money with a promise to return. A 10-year-long journey of a man with his dreams who slowly discovers something else he is destined for after a near-death experience. Praise for the book: “Learning about a boy who was so under-confident, who didn’t know how to speak English properly but honed his skills and became a millionaire is surely an inspirational read. I think a large part of the audience will be able to relate to it, be it students, young professionals or mid-senior level professionals. There is a bit for everyone. And, what I really loved about this book is it doesn’t preach you anything as such in the direct narrative instead there are so many underlying messages which are enough to motivate you.” – BooksAmaze “Arjun’s character is somebody that you grow fond of as a reader because Arjun is literally the humblest guy in the world, somebody who works really hard, somebody who is trying his best to deal with all the distress in his life. Still, life keeps throwing curve balls at him while he tries to dodge them. He keeps getting hit by them, but he doesn’t stop, and that makes his character extremely inspiring. This is the kind of book that gives out the message that good things are just around the corner and you just have to keep going.” – Saumya’s Bookstation
