Journey from Entrepreneur to Employee


Around 3 years back, after spending seven years as an entrepreneur—I found myself at crossroads. Having built startups, one of which was acquired, I decided to step away from the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship to explore what being an employee is like. This transition wasn’t just about changing roles; it was about navigating a shift in mindset, skillset, and priorities. Why I Made the Transition The decision to move from entrepreneurship to employment was driven by two key factors.

Starting a new life after getting married, I yearned for a role that allowed me to focus on my family without the constant uncertainties of running a business. When I think about how my previous entrepreneurship experience helped me in my corporate role, a specific moment comes to mind, where my entrepreneurial mindset made a difference. For the first time in years, I could focus solely on building, free from the pressures of fundraising, hiring, and running the business.
