A 31-year-old entrepreneur shared on Reddit how he turned down a Rs 40 lakh annual job offer to start his own business. His startup initially achieved rapid growth, touching Rs 5 crore turnover within six months, but scaling challenges and debt slowed progress. The company now earns around Rs 6 crore annually with small profits, yet the founder takes home only about Rs 1 lakh a month, leaving him feeling stuck and envious of batchmates in high-paying jobs.
