About

I retired at the age of 29. Now doing meaningful work I "want to" over "have to". "Retired" doesn't mean I don't work. Humans die without purpose. I do SELECTIVE work. I started working remotely way before COVID and "remote work" was a thing, this is 2014 which has helped me achieve financial freedom by 29. I'm now utilizing the experiences & challenges faced during the period to help Indian job seekers land their dream remote jobs, sharing experiences and learnings along the way, and teaching the right way of living life. If you need help with landing remote jobs or life in general, checkout my website ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ linktr.ee/akshayt
