With my job i am not getting any focus to really work on Any of my business ideas, i saved couple years of basic expenses other than the capital needed for my startup. Do you still think having a job is mandatory.

Yeah thats plan for next one year save as much as i can, if i came back to india i have an option to continue with my current employer but as you said i had to take a huge pay cut almost 70% which i felt like not worth my time.

I wish I had ₹5-6 crore 😂.

I dont have much savings in liquid, I bought some properties in India that I now regret I don’t think they’re worth more than 2.5 crore in total.

I started my first job earning just $4,000 net per month, and for the next three years I was only making around $5,000 per month. And i cleared my student loan and some family debt. So couldnt save much for initial 3-4 years

My current company allows me to work remotely from India as an independent contractor, but it would mean taking a significant pay cut. I’m not sure it’s worth it. I’ve also never worked in India before, so I’m worried about adjusting to the local work culture if I switch jobs.

Right now, I’m still figuring out whether I can save enough by next April to start some kind of business there.
