Six years after returning to Chennai, Vivek Thiruvengadam said he has now matched the ₹1 crore salary he once earned in the US—this time as Qubit Fitness owner.
₹90,000 in savings was all he had when he launched Qubit Fitness in January 2021, with no office, investors or team, after leaving the US to be closer to family.
₹20 lakh was the business's revenue by the end of 2021, or 19% of his former US pay, a slow start that he said still gave him confidence to keep building.
Thiruvengadam said steady annual growth in clients, systems and impact eventually helped him reach the income target he had written down before taking the leap.
Social media users praised both the family-driven move and the broader message he drew from the journey: consistency, patience and purpose can outweigh a higher paycheck.
