“Shut down your business.” That’s what a so-called VC representative told me back in 2024 at a startup event. At the time, our revenue was just ₹1 lakh in three months. For an egotistic founder like me, those words hit hard. But instead of giving up, I told myself— my day will come. And it did. 📈 The very next financial year, we made ₹65 lakhs. 💪 Purely bootstrapped, purely hustled. 🚀 This year, we’re aiming for ₹5 crore—still with zero investors. No shortcuts. No funding rounds. Just execution, persistence, and the belief that we can build something bigger than opinions. Sometimes the best fuel is doubt. Sometimes the best motivation is someone telling you “you can’t.” To every founder building in silence—remember: you don’t need permission. You need grit. #Entrepreneurship #Bootstrapped #FounderJourney #Grit #D2CIndia
