Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Recently, the founder of Apna appeared on Rajshamani's podcast, boasting about his entrepreneurial journey and the success of his startup. However, his portrayal of Apna as a revolutionary product is misleading. 

https://themorningcontext.com/internet/all-is-not-well-at-apna

Here's a brutal takedown of him
https://x.com/ravihanda/status/1730453950485401872

Despite his claims, the company is currently laying off employees, experiencing stagnant revenue growth, and facing significant financial losses. 

The founder, who has spent most of his life in the US, now presents himself as a champion for Bharat (India), but the reality is starkly different from the image he tries to project. 

His attempts to appear as if he has everything figured out contrast sharply with the company's troubling financial situation and operational challenges.

The podcast feels fully paid but is not revealed which is illegal.

जीतना हक़ है तुम्हारा

बहुत हार देख लीं तुमने,
बहुत ताने सुन लिए तुमने,
बहुत कर लिया सबके लिए,
अब बारी है ख़ुद को बदलने की,
अब बारी है ख़ुद के लिए कुछ करने की
अब बारी है ख़ुद में साहस भरने की।
लोग तुम्हें स्वार्थी बोलेंगे तैयार रहना,
लोग तुम्हें अभिमानी बोलेंगे तैयार रहना,
लोग तुम्हें अनदेखा करेंगे तैयार रहना।

ये सब ज़रूरी है एक बड़ी जीत के लिए
खुद को हर रोज़ याद दिलाइये,
'जीतना हक़ है तुम्हारा'।

Welcome to Mental Well-being's Private Community

These days, I feel lost at work. I keep procrastinating, with the first half of my mornings consumed by calls, and by the afternoon, I feel sleepy. I tell myself I’ll work at night but end up postponing it until early morning. I give 'in progress' updates during stand-ups, and somehow manage to finish everything under pressure on the last day of the sprint. It feels like I can’t motivate myself to work until the pressure hits. How can I overcome this behavior?

Corporate Strategist

10 years of schooling, studying hard during festivals, sacrificing my playtime, my childhood for marks..
2 years of high school - Completely cut-off from the world for a good college.
4 years of hard work for a job for a below average salary!!!

On the other hand:
Some random chai wala earns in lakhs.
Some MLM meme girl, living a luxurious lifestyle.
Insensible people are valued in society.
Even a 12th fail selling beer in his family shop lives a better life.

All the hard work I did is in vain? Whatever I did till this point of time was useless? What's the point of an endless struggle, if my destination has more struggle? Something is really wrong..

I have lost all my motivation 😞

What am I doing wrong?

Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by scamming people with MLM schemes? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by running a tea stall? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Would you be happy, satisfied and fulfilled by dancing on reels? Would you respect yourself? 
  
 Scamming people is illegal, immoral and unethical. 
 Running a Tea Stall is nothing to be looked down upon. It is honorable hard work, regardless of perceived status. 
  
  
 Dancing on Reels -> gaining followers -> being valued by society is nothing to be looked down upon. Creative pursuits, regardless of platform, are honourable hard work and deserve appreciation and respect. 
  
  
 There are people earning millions of dollars doing OF. It depends on the individual whether they are happy doing it or not. 
 So please don't get demotivated. 
 If you see yourself entertaining people by all means work hard on social media. 
 If you see yourself in the food and beverage industry by all means work hard to get there. 
  
 But if you don't see yourself doing all of that and you see yourself doing what you're doing now or something similar but just earning much better, with a prestigious title tied to your name, and being valued and appreciated more by people, then just accept the fact that you've just begun to climb the mountain. Though it's a long and hard climb, it's worth the view. 
  
 Hard work never goes to waste. Work harder and smarter. You'll get where you want to. But decide where you want to go. Stop looking at people who are not even in the same race as you.  
 It's like cursing your destiny why am I not born at Ambani's place, it's if no use. Think and take action only about controllables and leave rest to God.

What’s the one big motivation that makes you work for a startup?

Drive to part of a startup

Program Manager

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

My current salary is 42LPA. I am from IIT, have 7 years of experience and work in product. Honestly, my value in the market is higher than what I’m being paid but I am very demotivated to optimise for that. When I do see less deserving people minting more money, I feel that I am doing injustice to myself and playing the wrong hand.

More and more though, the thought of earning more money chokes me a bit. I have dreams of building something of my own - that gives me control to build something my way and freedom to live my life as per my terms. But the mindset of “zyada paisa pareshaani hai” doesn’t leave me.

My family also is not dependent on me and whatever is needed from my side, I actively contribute to. I also lack any motivation to focus on my investments and see my money grow. I just have money sitting around in my bank account purely for nothing

I also look at my lifestyle choices from time to time and go into existential debate of why we need the things that we do. This has come to a point where I really do not understand my relationship with money and why we earn and spend it. 

For me at this point, it’s just a show for the world. There’s very little that you need, and really no limit to what you want to show. And I just don’t see a point in it anymore.

I am demotivated to work to earn more money

Hey @Hungryninja  
 Extremely relatable and very beautiful write up 
  
 I get the trouble you face. When you’ve almost figured out what you like and what you don’t like (that money isn’t thaaat needle moving, I have basic needs) but at the same time, the opportunity cost of relaxing is too high - everybody from your batch will remind you of how far you can go, and the middle class boy in you will find it difficult to stomach letting go of all the money, even though you can make it  
  
 Went through this at one point. I have ultimately sided with money. I cannot sit back and relax. Money will only unlock a lot of foreign travel and good lifestyle for me. But more than that, I am lucky to be in a position that allows me to earn money easier than other people do. So I’ll make it, help extended family and people who cannot earn as easily, because at least in a country like India, it’s almost a responsibility. We’re not fucking Europe. 
  
 I’ll just not kill myself for it as much as I used to :)
