I'm the same as your age, currently preparing for the CA Inter- one of the toughest exams in the country. At the same time, I'm building a business and launching a startup. It's incredibly frustrating and often exhausting. But here's the truth: the key is to build a team that can replace you. Don't work in the startup; work on the startup. Be good at managing your time. Allot your time in the schedules. It's okay to be inconsistent, but discipline matters a lot.

If you need any help, Just DM me. 🤝🏻

brutal truth: if you don’t have a financial safety net, building a startup is 100x harder, not impossible, but you’ll bleed.

I guess you should focus on earning money first (Ex:- pick a content creator, dropshipping etc) because at your position with no wealthy family background and CAT pressure it will give you power to sustain. plus the money you earn will help you in your Startup journey.

maybe your strategy is wrong dude, at the age of 20, i don't really have a feeling that you invested 4-5 years to startup. startup is a complicated yet amazing process. it requires persistence, leve no stone unturned. one single advise... very practical: go for preps for exams. if you have duality in your mind, you are not meant for startup. founder has to believe in his startup a million times more than someone else.

You’re not a failure at 20, 22, or even 25. but Indian society acts like your worth expires if you’re not earning by 24.

You’re 20. You can try one or two more things before giving in to the CAT grind. Don’t let artificial timelines kill long-term ambition.

My friend, at least you tried — some people don't even make an attempt. That effort alone is important. Don’t worry about failing or succeeding. I believe failure is more valuable than success, because it builds character and teaches lessons. Failure isn’t something to be ashamed of; it’s something to learn from.

don’t romanticize startups either. it’s not “choose passion over CAT”. it’s “choose daily chaos, emotional burnout, and maybe zero income.”
