Business was smooth at first. We visited farms, built strong networks with local and regional breeders and traders, and began trading birds โ€” buying at X, selling at Y, and adding a small commission. Transport charges were handled separately, depending on the destination. Then, things started to shift. As the lockdown continued, the market became saturated. Everyone wanted in โ€” low investment, high returns. But most newcomers underestimated the high maintenance and care these birds required. Many couldnโ€™t sustain it, and the whole process started to collapse. For those already in the business, it became a nightmare. It reminded me of the tech waves we see now โ€” full stack development, then data science, now AI. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon. And just like that, many people today are pivoting to entrepreneurship โ€” not from clarity or conviction, but out of hype. Fundraising stories, flashy Instagram reels, and the luxurious lives of a few founders paint a misleading picture. But the reality? Itโ€™s messy, risky, and not for the faint-hearted. Follow me for more unfiltered lessons and stories from the ground.
