Indian Entrepreneur Leaves US Job to Build Chennai Startup

Indian Entrepreneur Leaves US Job to Build Chennai Startup

Vivek Thiruvengadam worked in the United States for 14 years and earned a lot of money.

He decided to leave that job and move back to his hometown, Chennai, with his wife and baby.

He started a new company called Qubit Fitness with only Rs 90,000 in savings and a laptop.

In the first year, the company made Rs 20 lakh, which was less than what he earned in the US, but he kept going.

Over six years, the business grew, and he finally reached the money goal he set for himself.

He says that being close to family and doing work that matters are more important than a high salary.

He also learned that staying consistent and patient pays off.

His family, clients, and early supporters helped him succeed.

People online praised his courage and the positive impact of his work.
