Not many have the courage to speak up about this, thanks much for sharing Reji!

One of the things I found difficult was that when I took the jump was that I was so sure of my decision — until you begin to field doubt from all your family and friends who question why it looks like you’re taking a step backwards from a seemingly successful path.

This is super common story with every single entrepreneur I’ve spoken to. (sharing for the benefit of those who’s reading Reji’s story) remember the one that told us the story, where in the first year, his mother-in-law said: ‘why don’t you go get a job?’ And then when he made it ($1.3B), it she said ‘why didn’t you give me any shares?!”
