Hello! 👋🏻 First, lemme expand on the bio: 🏛️ A Failed IITian It seems that with my education, background, and a GMAT 770: • I should have stayed "in my lane" with a high-paying job (and then applied for a top MBA) • But I decided to question everything my family and formal education trained me to do • What was I trained to do? Crack exams & earn money by renting out my time ⚡️ Writing advice to my 2-year younger self • For 24 years, I could not find a "role model" — somebody who I genuinely looked up to • Then I learned how to find mentors from across the globe through their content • Now I'm writing content I wish somebody had shared with me years ago 📝 Learning Design & Writing (in public) • I graduated from IIT Bombay with a very nice, comfy job — but with no real-world skill • How do I know that? Because the only thing I was good at was: cracking exams • Now I'm educating myself through the internet (and sharing the journey here) *** ⛔️ I don't think quitting my job and taking this path is "superior" to any other way of life But I believe it's my best bet to create a life where I have the freedom to: • Design my schedule • Live wherever I want to live • Work with/for people I genuinely like • Build something crazy with awesome people *** 🎯 Why am I here? I'm using LinkedIn to find people who FEEL that something is not right — people who don't want to postpone their life until a hypothetical retirement at 40 My hypothesis: Technology has democratized resources to an extent such that you can design your lifestyle without waiting for an arbitrary "financial independence" (that most people don't achieve anyway) *** If you wanna get in touch, please do! 💛 In case you're not sure what to say, answer this question: What game are you playing?
