Quitting my Job

December 31st, 2023, I made a pivotal decision: to leave behind the familiarity and comfort of my UI/UX job and embark on the exhilarating journey of entrepreneurship. A bold step towards realising my long-held dream of owning a design agency.

My journey to becoming an entrepreneur started back in my college days when I dipped my toes into the world of freelancing. Those were the days of tight budgets and tight deadlines, where earning a mere 2000 rupees for two months of work was a big deal. It was tough, no doubt. But with each project, I felt like I was getting closer to something bigger.

Consequence

The decision to leap into entrepreneurship is not a light one. Coming from a modest background, where each month’s paycheck was crucial for me and my family, the prospect of uncertain income is a daunting one. The fear of not being able to support them as I used to is a weighty burden. Yet, I realised that if I didn’t take this risk now, I might forever regret not pursuing my passion.

Gratitude

But every journey requires companions, and I was fortunate enough to assemble my team whom Icould rely on implicitly. Diti, Hruday, and Nishant — each one of you has brought a unique set of skills and perspectives to our collective endeavour. Despite my occasional shortcomings in demonstrating appreciation, I owe a debt of gratitude to each of you. Hruday, with a unconventional artistic sensibilities(stubborn), Nishant, with your mesmerising animation prowess(lazy), Diti, with your expansive network and design knowledge(impatient).

Together, we are more than the sum of our parts, and I am committed to ensuring that our shared vision receives the recognition it deserves.

A start

We stand at the starting line, ready to pour our hearts and souls into making our dreams a reality. There’s no turning back now. Maybe this article is to just reform my belief and give me the hope to keep going and finish the website we have been stuck on from the last few days xd.

I eagerly anticipate reflecting on this moment in two years, reminiscing about the best decision I ever made by daring to chase my dream.

To many more sleepless nights and meeting filled with rejection.

Just keep going Cheers.
