From the hills of Nainital to your screen - My solo journey to revolutionize India's egg market
Hello! I'm Charanjeet Singh, a solo developer from the beautiful hills of Nainital, Uttarakhand. I code, design, manage, and maintain everything you see on TodayEggRate.com - all by myself.
What began as a simple project to help local farmers has grown into a platform serving thousands across India. Every feature, every price update, every line of code - it's all me, working from my home office overlooking the Kumaon hills.
Started with a simple Excel sheet shared with 5 local farmers. Coded the first version during Uttarakhand's harsh winter nights.
Built the first website while learning full-stack development. Manual price collection from Nainital markets every morning.
Added 10 more cities. Started automating price collection. Many sleepless nights debugging and optimizing.
Covered all major egg-producing states. Platform hit 100,000 users. Still handling everything solo from Nainital.
500,000+ monthly users. Advanced features added. Still passionately coding and maintaining everything myself.
This is what my typical day looks like as the solo creator of TodayEggRate.com
Check NECC rates and verify with local Nainital markets. Update today's prices.
Upload new prices, fix any overnight issues, ensure everything runs smoothly.
Work on new features, improve user experience, fix bugs reported by users.
Respond to emails, help users with calculations, gather feedback for improvements.
Write blog posts, update market insights, connect with poultry communities.
Plan next features, analyze user data, strategize for platform growth.
Every decision aligns with my original mission - helping farmers get fair prices
No committees, no delays. I can implement user feedback within hours
Every feature is built with care and understanding of real user needs
If something goes wrong, I fix it immediately. No passing the buck
"As long as I'm running TodayEggRate.com, it will always be free for individual users. I started this to help people, not to become rich. The satisfaction of knowing I'm making a difference in farmers' lives is payment enough."
