Hey Manoj, what do you do?

I had never thought, that this simple question can be so difficult to answer. Here is how my answer to this question has changed in last 3 years.
• Until Feb 2021, before I left my Corporate job - I am a Technology Risk Manager at Barclays, Singapore 👜
• From Mar 2021 to July 2022 - I am Founder of Bizsomia ⚽
• After we stopped working on Bizsomia - I found myself grappling with an Identity crisis as I struggled to define my professional narrative 🌶
• Between Aug 2022 to Dec 2023 - Though I was doing various things such as Consulting, Running Course and Hosting podcast, still I had no definite answer 🤐
• Jan 2024 onwards - I am Director at WebOsmotic and Co-Founder at narad.io 🚀
Transitioning from a Corporate job to the Startup world isn't just about starting something new; it's about persevering through the challenges and maintaining your sense of identity along the way.
P.S : Today marks my 3 year anniversary in Startup Ecosystem and I am proud of my journey 😎

"After moving back from the USA, eChai became my go-to space to learn how the Indian startup ecosystem works. It offered direct exposure to startup thinking and a community that openly shares business insights. What stood out was how easy it was to connect, learn, and grow through real conversations.
