Summary
A 33-year-old marketing professional said he now makes more than ₹1.8 lakh a month remotely, two years after leaving a full-time corporate role in mid-2024.
14-16-hour workdays and a desire for more flexibility pushed him to go independent, with financial backing from his father helping him manage the transition.
Two long-term clients retained for over six months and a newly signed client helped stabilize the business after early struggles with client retention.
He said the shift replaced a fixed 9-to-5 schedule and commute with remote work from his village home and more time with his daughter.
The Reddit post also outlined his next goal—winning US clients through productised services—which he said could lift earnings by 3-4 times; the claims were not independently verified.
