Entrepreneurship Career

Entrepreneurship Career- Grapevine

I am 27, and I have a well paying job in Bangalore. 

I want to quit this job and try my hands on entrepreneurship. I feel like I can do much more than what I am currently doing and have a more fulfilling life this way. 

Unable to see a lot of risks I have a 2 yr runway with savings. Parents don't have financial dependency. If everything fails I can restart my life in the next 1-2 years. 

Looking for perspectives and things I should consider before taking this step.

Karnataka’s ‘quit job to become entrepreneur’ scheme: 192 apply for Rs 25K monthly aid for 1 year

Journalist

I completed education from tier 1 colleges (MBA and Engineering both from coveted IIM and IIT). After MBA, I joined Wall Street bank and life was really good. Was enjoying the perks of a MNC although the work was also excruciating but was an overall good experience.

Left it for a startup (fast growth kida in me led this decision). Worked in the startup across multiple roles, learned a lot of new things. Tried staying away from office politics and earned a good name in the circle. But growth (read pay) was not that enticing and was not growing hence decided to leave. Was naive enough to quote this reason to business head and HR as well. Obviously it didn't go well with anyone.

Joined startup2, changed cities and joined it. The role was similar, although my manager was an epitome of a toxic manager. Was doing good but he always was able to find some or the other mistake in my work. If he would not find any mistake then he would suggest some tangential hypothesis and then reprimand me for not thinking about it. Was so toxic that I didn't take leave when my wife was hospitalized and giving birth to our child.
Tried doing everything possible but couldn't save the job and got laid off in the 1st lay off wave.

Was shattered. Confidence was at rock bottom. Tried searching for roles. Luckily I got into startup3 who had remote work at that time. Although I joined the marketing team (which was not at all related to my previous work) thus creating a mess of my profile.
Worked hard but in a "restructuring" exercise got laid off again.

Within a year 2 lay offs with random work and no concrete direction in work. 
Now searching for roles but not able to find anything suitable as I was in non-core roles and in this difficult time everyone is looking for cheap resources with 1-3 yoe and not looking for 7+ yoe with generalist profile.

Contemplating starting from zero in Marketing or learning coding/Data science so that can start my career again with right basics.

I fucked up my career

Started working in my first job. Per month pay is around 50k. Very sad as to how will I grow financially.

Does money really come along the way?

Job in a startup

Consultant

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I quit my last company in Dec 2023 due to some reasons. I was not aware the market would be this bad. Basically in a nutshell I have at least given interviews in 10-15 companies till now, cleared most of theirs all rounds, but for some reason or other they didn’t release an offer. some feedback includes, why do you want to join us with such less hike, you would leave us in few months. One said they are not able to get final sign off from their lord in US. And mostly others just stopped responding. ATM I don’t understand anything, emergency funds getting over, and realised all the network I made till now in my career and whom I helped are of no use. I know I wont get any clear advice here also, but just venting out. I am on the brink of just quitting everything of this corporate drama and start prepping for govt exam, or start a small biz in my town

Unemployed since 3 months

Frontend Engineer

Hi folks! Am new to the city, working for an MNC and recently got the role of Project coordinator (similar to PM) but along with this, I want start exploring the startup ecosystem here in Bengaluru. Am still figuring out my niche. Could you guys please suggest what kind of events I should attend to meet people, what are some of the X (Twitter), Reddit, Instagram or any other such SM pages to follow so that I am relevant with the things happening here? I am up for part time jobs and apprenticeships if available to start immediately or after skilling up myself with the requirements.

PS. As I am still finding my niche, any sector is good enough to begin with, but since I am a Biomedical Engineering Graduate, I would prefer something in the Medtech arena.

Exploring start-up ecosystem in Bengaluru.

Project Coordinator

I want to work and gain some on site experience in the Indian startup’s. Anyone here who know good startup’s companies in Bangalore which can provide good pakages and I can gain a good experience with a better environment.

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Rant alert: 

Have you felt the same way? How many years of work ex after which you started feeling this way? 

Stability and money I’m grateful for. But I hate the constant comparison and competitiveness among peers/colleagues. Makes me want to quit and do a Teach for India fellowship. A little corporate detox. 

Wish I had become an athlete instead. I know it’s not an easy life, but It’s the kind of competitiveness I’m inclined towards. Not inclined towards the kind where you compete with people to please a company that will never care for you as a human. But people fail to recognise that, lose perspective, and lose themselves too. People have no class in this shitty world. If I have kids, they’re definitely becoming athletes and not entering this hellhole. 

Most ironically, I’m borderline considering an MBA to escape the corporate life for 2 years, but obviously I’m aware I will only get entrenched further in it due to the degree.

Corporate is not for me

Oh man. Just hoping for the day i can quit it all. Right now on the blue pill, but ek din ayega. I'm convinced only sociopaths and people with no personalities can enjoy being in this rut. Lavda build something - it's just about keeping the hamster wheel rolling.

Brand Marketing Manager

Product Manager

I'm working as a software engineer in Bangalore. I want to start something apart from my work to create a new income stream.
Can anyone suggest few ideas or wanna join to think of something great.

Any startup or money making ideas in Bangalore?

Can anyone suggest how a fresher starts his journey in entrepreneurship? 
And does MBA really helps to start the entrepreneur journey?

Entrepreneur?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Me and my wife are 30 years old software engineer with no kids. Draw 7 lac a month please some yearly bonus. We invest 2 lac a month combined into equity market through mutual funds. 

Expenses: 1.5 lac a month including everything, lives in Bangalore in good society, owns a car, don't thing much before spending. 

Still after everything left with 3 lakhs every month in bank account. Not sure how to use that. We both don't have any fancy "shauk" where we can spend and hence don't have an urge to earn more. 

Any suggestions???

Post tax 7 lac a month. Double income no kids, but not sure what do with all the money.

Hey - we are also similar to you. Would strongly suggest finding something you’re passionate about. 
  
 For us (primarily me) - got a dog, took a 6 month sabbatical, travelled to 30+ countries in this time, left job to pursue startup idea, spend time with parents, learn language, improve fitness, learnt some coding, etc 
  
 It’s a pretty good position to be in - just explore I’d say

Strategy & Operations

- Tried in the past or not, are you pursuing it now?
- Experience vs corporate job?
- Recommendations for those who think of shifting from corporate to entrepreneurship in the future?
      - Startup / Family business points if any?
      - Side hustle views?
- Anything else?

Have you tried entrepreneurship?

The US is in its late stage capitalist phase, a ship that's going to sink for the next 50 years. If you're a young person there it doesn't make sense to work as hard as your Grandpa the reward on average isn't as great. 

India on the other hand is poised to become a great multi-trillion $ economy.

Onto something huge. We're talking like 10x growth of the economy here.

Start-ups that have made it like Razorpay, Swiggy, PayTM, even Cred, if they survive will be really huge as capital in the country, liquidity and lifestyles go up over the next 50 years. 

Be the capitalist, take the risks, make bets, work and stack up promotions and money.

Don't join an Infosys and work 70 hours there, do it for a start up of any scale you believe is going to make it. Or better yet start your own.

Work hard and build in India 🇮🇳

I'm tired of this bullcrap. India will not keep growing if the US goes under. And all that growth shit is exaggerated. Divide those numbers by our population and it doesn't amount to shit. 
 All your fancy startups don't even combine up in value to even a single big tech company. 
 Yes we are growing but the inflation is also going up. On the whole I barely see any improvement.

Founder

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Folks here me out!

Would any of you be interested in joining an Indian promoter as a partner?

💡The idea:
India is run by MSMEs and if India has to become a $5/10trillion economy, it will be driven by a growth in MSMEs.
Now, none of us want to be part of these MSMEs (lala companies) as an employee due to number of reasons but would the stance change if you come in as a partner.

Benefit for MSMEs:
1. Get an experienced working professional who brings his network (to hire further folks) 
2. The professional brings in experience of a large organisation 
3. The professional invests his money to prove skin in the game.

Benefits for professionals:
1. Not everyone wants to become a billionaire and hence running / building a 100-500Cr ARR business is lucrative option.
2. Access to a launchpad of a profitable business with infrastructure already existing.


Would love to hear your thoughts.

New model for entrepreneurship

Guys,
I always wanted to start something on my own or be part of something which would grow as a big business in future.

I have a few ideas related to Agriculture and Landscaping particularly focusing on the Bangalore Region. But I don't have capital and teammates.

If someone is interested in joining me or anyone looking for someone to be part of something they're building. I am open to both of them.

Please DM or post your mail id below, would love to connect with you 😀.

Be part of the start-up/ start a start-up
