IITian Quits ₹2 Crore/Month Business to Work as Engineer: Why He Left Entrepreneurship (2026)

An IIT graduate, who had built a thriving shoe brand earning ₹2 crore a month, left his own company to become an engineer at a startup. This bold move has sparked curiosity and debate among netizens. But here's where it gets controversial... Pranshi Chaturvedi, the founder and CEO of Bellish Group, shared the story of this IITian's journey on X. She met the IIT Kanpur graduate on a trip and learned about his successful D2C shoe brand. However, despite the impressive monthly sales, the founder was unhappy. He decided to leave entrepreneurship and work for someone else, citing supply issues and the challenges of dealing with manufacturers in Surat. This decision has left many surprised, as it goes against the traditional path of building and growing one's own business. But is it really so controversial? The IITian's choice to prioritize his well-being and work-life balance over the pressures of entrepreneurship is a valid one. After all, as Gaurav Sharma points out, manufacturing is not a 'Raja Babu' job. It involves dealing with labor issues, supplier pressures, and client negotiations, which can be constant challenges. So, what do you think? Is it ever okay to leave a successful business to pursue other opportunities? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
