He had an idea to build some sort of computer language program, but he did not know anything about programming. He applied to a computer training institute and was accepted, but was denied admission due to his inability to pay the course fees.

Inspired by the mythological story of Eklavya, the loyal and brave student in the Sanskrit epic of Mahabharata, Sunil taught himself computer programming by locking himself in a tiny room for almost six months with borrowed computer and books. After the first few months of continuous sitting, he experienced such extreme back-pain that he had to undergo tailbone-surgery. Doctors and family-members advised him to stop his madness, but he persevered, and his passion resulted in the world’s first-ever Marathi language search-engine which Sunil called “Marathi Talking Dictionary“. This search-engine became widely popular and the overwhelmingly positive response motivated him to design technology-platforms for multiple Indian languages. He worked with linguists, subject-experts, institutions, and universities throughout the nation.
