Here is my full story that made it possible!
My conscious life began in Standard 9th, when I started reading books. Just like all teenagers in my time, way back in 2007, I was fascinated by IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) and anything and everything related to it. My elder brother was prepping for it and it was a topic of great interest to my family and the entire community around.
During this time, Chetan Bhagat, an IITian and an author, became extremely famous among us, because of his books Five Points Someone and One Night at the Call Centre. I grabbed both the books and a Pandora’s box just opened in front of me.
And no, it wasn’t because of Chetan Bhagat’s book, but because of the fact that I started reading. I started with fiction but due to my immense curiosity, I quickly shifted to non-fiction.
Due to this habit of reading, I started to explore worlds that were nowhere close to the world I was living in. I got a glimpse into so many different worlds, so many different worldviews and so many of them were actually winning big time in their own worldview.
This is the moment I realized that reality is merely a construct — a malleable concept shaped by perception.
Infinite parallel realities exist, branching endlessly and every successful person I’ve studied seems to champion their own version of it. They fine-tune their approaches, like adjusting weights in a vast neural network, based on real-time feedback, all to amplify their wins and edge ever closer to mastery.
Since I was reading anything & everything that I can get hands-on, I started picking newspaper as well and I got exhaustively interested in economics and finance. During this time, Times of India used to provide Economic Times as well, along with the usual newspaper.
The Economic Times was a goldmine to me and the financial crisis of 2008 started around that time.
When I started reading Economic Times, it was full of jargon to me. About 30 percent of the words did not make any sense to me but right across that time, I started to follow Vivek Kaul, who was a blogger and an author and he was writing blogs on explaining all the jargons that were there in the Economic Times, and other news outlets.
By 2011, I started to know in-depth about the global monetary system, the deficits of the government, the massive quantitative easing that US was running to save the economy from the 2008 financial crisis, the Centillion effect, the fractional reserve banking and the holy grail of every one of these things — called the fiat monetary system.
This was a massive eye-opener for me. Over the years, I read and consumed content on the global economy like crazy.
The world of finance is wild, and it just didn’t open in front of me. It changed the way I looked at everything.
I got to know that governments were printing money big time, they were running massive deficits to fund businesses that were already too big to fail and even when they failed, they were bailed out by using taxpayers’ money.
Also, it just doesn’t stop there. Almost all countries are on fractional reserve banking, which means new money is created into the economy whenever someone takes a loan.
All in all, the amount of money that are getting into these massive businesses are so wild that a normal person doesn’t even stand a chance to do anything in the real world.
All the major businesses have already moved to massive VC-funded games and the government to Wall Street, to the central banks, all were complicit in it.
The above knowledge of the world’s financial system is what 12xd my wealth in the last 5 years! Here is how —
The 2008 financial crisis and the US government’s ability to manipulate the money supply gave birth to Bitcoin, crypto, blockchain and later Techno Feudalism BATMMAAN, which stands for Broadcom, Apple, Tesla, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia and Alphabet — and now AI and Physical AI i.e. Robotics.
Since I knew all these things in-depth for the last decade, I finally got the courage to act on it in late 2019. I invested in Crypto (Bitcoin, Solana, Ripple & more), Mag 7 (BATMMAAN), AI Chips (Nvidia, AMD & more), Energy, Data Centres, Robotics, Quantum and a few other asymmetrical bets!!
All these got accelerated because of Covid as well.
Note: I talk about all these in detail on my newsletter and channels, so do subscribe!
Since I am a big believer in honesty, transparency and integrity (big believer of decentralization, crypto, code and math) here is the proof that I have been reading, writing and doing all these since 2009 — that’s 16 years ago!!
- Have been writing about all these on Blogger since 2009!! Here is the link to substantiate it — Blogger: User Profile: Sumit Chatterjee

All these have time stamps that can’t be faked!!
And since 2017 onwards I got busy in the following pursuits—
I completed my MBA in Finance in 2017 and received dual placements in Bandhan Bank and HDFC AMC. I joined Bandhan Bank initially because I assumed it would offer better long-term prospects, but I quickly transitioned to Deloitte in the same year.
From 2017 to 2020, I worked at Deloitte, after which I moved to EY as a Senior. I stayed at EY until 2024 and eventually became an Assistant Manager. In September 2024, I returned to Deloitte—this time as a Manager.
On March 30th, 2025, with the help of my co-founder Supriyo and my wife, I registered RevTribe LLP, website as Revenuechef.io with the MCA (now at $40,000 in revenue). On August 18th, 2025, I started Broke2Alpha and my personal brand SumitChatterjee.com to build distribution across YouTube, X, and LinkedIn—so I could educate, document my journey and build in public.
I’m all in. The 12× isn’t a flex—it’s an acknowledgment that I can be of immense utility to the community. And I’m not stopping at 12×. My ventures and my personal brand are evidence of that commitment. I’m here to educate, help, and be of service to anyone who chooses to be part of this community.
That’s all about me as of now. Rest is going to be history for sure but the only question is, whether you will be a part of it or not?
