Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a buzzword. It has become a tool that can make or break careers depending on how it’s used. One former software engineer from Jaipur has proved that even simple AI solutions can generate massive success, if they meet the right needs.
Hitesh Choudhary, who is also a YouTuber, recently shared his inspiring story. He revealed that a basic AI-powered photo editing app he developed has been generating Rs 8.4 crores every month, just three months after its launch, reported Moneycontrol.
His app allows users to do simple tasks like removing photo backgrounds and adjusting saturation, targeting non-tech users who may not have access to or knowledge of advanced editing tools.
Sharing the journey on X, Hitesh said he created the app after noticing the growing demand for AI in non-tech industries.
“Never knew that there is this much AI demand in non tech segment. Built a really basic AI powered app that helps people to modify photos. After 3 months, I am at 10,000 $ MRR,” he wrote on X.
Hitesh revealed that his first client, who also happens to be a friend, helped distribute the app among contacts via WhatsApp groups. This word-of-mouth approach created a ripple effect and led to impressive growth. What’s even more remarkable is that Hitesh shared his methods openly on YouTube, creating tutorials for aspiring developers.
