Careers in Startups: My Journey from New York to Pune, India

Taking the Leap: Transitioning from Big Tech to Entrepreneurship

I always knew I wanted to build something of my own. I came up with my first idea during college, leading to valuable lessons in my early career. At Meta, I selected diverse projects to become a jack of all trades before realizing I needed more hands-on experience.

Choosing a Startup Experience

I transitioned to StubHub, where I took on multifaceted roles and learned the agile nature of startups. These experiences prepared me for my ultimate goal: launching a consumer tech product back in India.

Embracing Opportunities in India

The decision to move back was influenced by my desire to be close to family and the booming tech landscape in India. With internet penetration skyrocketing, I was eager to contribute to the growing consumer tech market.

  1. Deciding to move back after my fiancée's proposal.
  2. Surprising friends by leaving my US-based salary.
  3. Partnering with a cofounder to launch a startup by the end of this year.

I thrive on being close to my roots while tackling the entrepreneurial challenges in India—although I will always cherish my time in the US.
