Summary
Rs 12,000 a month is what entrepreneur Kiranjit Das said he now earns from his business after leaving a Rs 15 lakh-a-year job, in an X post that drew wide attention.
Das said the income gap becomes far harder with family expenses such as school fees, medicines and other household responsibilities, pushing back on easy slogans about choosing entrepreneurship over employment.
X users used the post to debate the risks of quitting stable, well-paid jobs, with some arguing salaried workers should avoid leaving work for uncertain ventures such as full-time trading.
The discussion underscored a broader point often missing from startup success stories on social media: first-time entrepreneurship can mean a sharp drop in income before any business gains materialize.
