14 year old who's deploying local LLMs and won international MUN competitions wants to monetize.

Hi.
I'm 14 right now, living in Mumbai and about to finish Grade 9 in a few weeks. I'm looking to start making real money.

Here's what I've done as well as the experience and skillset I have.
I've built AI systems on my own hardware. I don't simply use ChatGPT or Claude or any of the thousand AI tools out there. I've built entire local AI systems from scratch running quantized versions of large LLMS on my own 16GB RAM computer, setting up projects like OpenClaw and others, which would've taken the help of a professional developer for many my age.
I keep track of the open source model space as well as the entire AI space closely because I find it genuinely interesting but unfortunately, I am very constricted due to no financial front, hence my post here.

I've done MUNs seriously for a couple of years, including international conferences like DAIMUN, IIT Techfest World MUN, Podar Summit among others. Won Best Delegate, High Commendation and other awards at most of what I've entered.
The part that actually transfers to real life is the research and public speaking. I can go from zero to a comprehensive, cited document on almost any topic pretty fast, because in MUNs if your research isn't airtight, your defenses are ripped apart by the 50 other countries listening to find a single flaw in your argument.
Over all MUNs, debates and other competitions, I've also established my public speaking skills, such that I can speak in front of large crowds without stage fright, improvise on the spot and deliver natural speeches in real time.

My income goal is ₹2–3k/month minimum to start, mostly to fund more hardware and tools to keep building. I'm not available all the time because of school, so I do need flexible timing and most importantly, remote work, but I'm willing to get the job done on a fixed timeline.
If you've done something similar at this age, or tried and failed, or have anything to help me, I would love to hear what actually helped and worked as well as how I can implement it.
And if you're a founder or business owner, and my skills pique your interest or catch your eye, don't hesitate to DM.
