Man Leaves ₹25 LPA Job to Build Jewellery Business
Tolani left a job that paid him ₹25 lakh a year to start his own business.
He wanted more freedom to build something himself.
He began selling affordable fashion jewellery online.
In his first month, he earned ₹45,382 on Amazon, ₹3,200 on Meesho and nothing on Flipkart.
He said running a business means handling products, orders, advertising and returns.
He also moved from Mumbai to Ahmedabad, where he owns a house, to spend less on living costs.
His wife and parents supported his choice.
People on social media had different opinions about whether leaving a well-paid job was a good idea.
Rajasthan-based entrepreneur Tolani left a corporate job paying ₹25 lakh per annum to pursue business full-time.
He said corporate politics and limited freedom to build something of his own influenced his decision.
He started a fashion jewellery business in September 2026, selling affordable, trendy products for everyday wear and occasions.
His reported first-month earnings were ₹45,382 on Amazon, ₹3,200 on Meesho and ₹0 on Flipkart.
Tolani moved from Mumbai to Ahmedabad to reduce living expenses, and said his wife and parents supported his decision.
