Who knew that working just 3.5 hours a night on AI tools could make you a millionaire? He’s raked in nearly Rs 2.69 crore in a few months, earning about Rs 18,000 per hour while everyone else is just trying to figure out how to make instant noodles without burning them.

In an interview with CNBC Make It, Amitabh let slip that he’s pulling in about $200 an hour. For those keeping score, that’s roughly Rs 18,000 per hour. Meanwhile, the rest of us are wondering if we can afford to make instant coffee without a side of crippling debt.
How It All Started

His journey officially kicked off in January 2025 when a data-labeling startup called micro1 threw him a life preserver in a sea of obligations. Because who isn’t busy multitasking like a circus juggler?
Wearing Many Hats At Once
4/8
When he’s not busy making money, Amitabh is writing books, lecturing universities, and running a mentorship platform. Oh, and he’s also squeezing in some time for his new baby. It’s almost like he took one too many ‘How to Succeed in Life While Making Everything Look Easy’ courses.
Why He Said Yes
5/8
Despite the chaos, Amitabh decided to accept the role, citing “intellectual curiosity.” Because if you’re going to be drowning in work, you may as well be mildly entertained by the depth of your own genius.
Strong Academic And Corporate Background
6/8
Amitabh’s credentials read like the resume of a superhero: a mechanical engineering degree, a master’s in moral philosophy, and six years at Microsoft. Who knew saving the world from mundane work could be so well-documented?
Rs 2.69 Crore In Just Months
7/8
In a mere few months of working approximately 3.5 hours each night, Amitabh has reportedly earned close to $300,000 (around Rs 2.69 crore). Why work full-time when you could sip chai and still make a fortune, right?
More Than Just The Money
8/8
In the end, while the money is great, Amitabh claims his true motivation lies beyond cash. He believes AI has the power to uplift mankind rather than put us all in virtual shackles. Irony alert: his “real” job is outsmarting robots, not just collecting checks.
