20 year old from India

[alabhyajindal]

Hello everyone!

I am a 20-year-old from Bengaluru, India.
I am a BBA student specialising in Marketing. My final exams have been going online and I will graduate in a week.
My main ambition for the past three years was to increase my intrinsic value - coding, web design, communication etc. just to get a higher paycheck.
Of course, after reading TMF I have realized that the only way to realize my dreams is to go Fastlane.

It is very overwhelming for me at the moment to think of a Fastlane business when I was not even able to land a job at the numerous companies I applied for.
But as a first step, I am training myself to find unmet needs of the marketplace and currently reading the book Blue Ocean Strategy.

Happy to be here and looking forward to exploring all the useful information available here.

My advice:

MOVE.

I’ve been in India. From Jaisalmer to Kochi and everywhere in between.

It’s not where you want to be.

Come to America.

Thanks for the advice!

Please let me know about your experience in India and the major drawbacks you noticed. Would love to hear your opinion!

I have considered moving abroad and I think it would be the right thing to do. It is one of the reasons why I was looking to complete my post-grad abroad. Now I have decided against pursuing a degree. How else can I move abroad without any source of income?

Also, would you recommend Australia or Canada as an alternative to the US?

Never been to Australia or anywhere major in Canada but I recommend the USA

I'm from Australia.
Beautiful country.

Leave India!

I'd recommend finding a country that has your dream course/career/lifestyle.

Welcome to the forum @auratice!

I agree with @Johnny boy. With the same amount of effort that you put in India, I think that you can achieve 10X the results being in the US or a more business friendly and developed country.

I've been here for a few months due to the lockdown and I've witnessed first hand, the sickening levels of corruption and bureaucracy all over the place which makes it a nightmare to do business.

Try learning a second European language like French, German, Spanish.... There are millions of english-speaking Indians trying to migrate to the US, UK, Canada and Australia every year, which makes getting a job and employment visa extremely competitive. You'll likely need years of experience, high qualifications and/or good connections in those countries if you want to move and work there.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights!

I totally agree with what you said. India definitely has a lot of problems when it comes to setting up a business. The consumers in India are extremely frugal.

I would love to move to France and had been learning French online.
What you said makes a lot of sense and I will improve my learning schedule to aim for fluency.

Welcome to the forum friend. It really makes me happy to see you at this forum at such a young age. I am nearly twice your age and doing business in India from past 10 years and my experience with the authorities is real bad. The advice you will get here would be priceless. You have the greatest resource in your hand- "Time". Make the most of it. Never afraid to make mistakes. Best of luck for your fastlane journey.

Thank you so much!

Government initiatives such as Startup India have failed to create a business-friendly environment and the economic structure remains the same, more or less.

Regardless, I plan to use the many resources available on the forum here to set me up for success.

Thanks again!
