Girish Ippadi — CEO

What is easy in the Startup driven world? To quit your job and start something of your own. Everywhere, everyone is praising this behaviour through motivational speeches, movies, magazines and what not. You can become a founder, raise a good deal of fund, take a cool exit and wow, you are a hero no less than a corporate god. The thought itself is adrenaline booster for a lot of people 'trapped' in a cubicle. But for a lot of people, it is just quick wealth and quick fame. There is another whisper these days, 'When you are in a job, you work from 10-6 but as a founder you are employed 24x7 and still there is no guaranty of wealth and fame because 90% companies fail'. Generally people ignore this factor and quit anyway. If you are solely after wealth and fame, you are among 90% and there is a minute chance you will succeed until you shift chase from wealth to problem solving and leave the process of wealth creating to the 'process of wealth creation'. I have seen employees generating more wealth than founders in the long run. All you need to do is to be honest with yourself, face the problems in your job as they are and be a problem solver there. Build a strong personal finance habit in parallel (not on side) then decide if you want to start a new company. I have done those things and have helped people navigate through the process of being a 'Hero Employee' and many of them have also started side hustles.
