Summary

  • ₹1.5 lakh in monthly profit is what a 42-year-old former employee now makes after leaving an ₹18 lakh-a-year job to run an organic dairy business, according to a Hyderabad software engineer's X post.
  • Fewer projects at his company after Trump became President made the job feel insecure, prompting him to resign rather than keep worrying about layoffs, the post said.
  • ₹3.5 lakh in monthly revenue now comes from products including desi ghee, curd and paneer, funded with his savings; having no loans made the switch easier.
  • The post drew praise for entrepreneurship and sparked debate over job security versus building an independent business income stream.
