What decision in life worked out well for you?

Yes but I ended up choosing maths in 11th instead of biology. Hence rest is the history

Left Bangalore, went back to hometown, went all in on my side gig in 2021 right before second wave.

Primary reason was to stay with family and care for my Nani, but startup also took off.

We were at less than 5L in total revenue, now crossed 1.4 Cr in 3 years.

It was hell managing hospital visits with work, especially when the second wave hit. Nani passed away a year after that. But I'm glad I got to spend time with her in her last days.

Do you have any regrets?

It can be anything related to not doing something you always wanted to but never did, a mistake you realize you shouldn’t have made, or feelings of not being successful enough. Feel free to share your thoughts.

This quote I read - you will get old irrespective of your masters and PHD degrees too. Might as well be old with them.
