💡 Honest confession from a first-time founder

The title #Founder or #Cofounder may look fancy on LinkedIn... but behind the scenes — it's anything but easy. 😅

If you're a parent, you’ll relate when I say: a startup is like your baby.

And in my case… I’m raising five babies at once! 👶👶👶👶👶

1️⃣ My first and most special – Rian, my son, who reminds me daily what unconditional love looks like 💙

2️⃣ The other four?

I AM A RECRUITER™ (community)

AI REVO LABS (our product innovation hub)

VantaHire (recruitment consulting arm)

And… our 5th startup baby is on the way! 🚀

🎯 What I’ve learned in just 2 months of building from scratch:

✅ A strong and complementary co-founder is a must. I'm lucky to have Puneet Kumar — a fellow dreamer and a powerhouse of positivity 💪

✅ A supportive family is everything.

They stood by me when I quit a high-paying job to chase a crazy dream — to create global impact in the recruitment world 🌍

✅ As a founder, you wear every hat:

Recruiter, strategist, IT support, planner, delivery guy, teammate, father, husband, son — sometimes all in a single day.

Yes, it’s chaotic. Yes, it’s scary. But it’s also incredibly fun, fulfilling, and full of growth. 🔥

🙏 Grateful to the universe for this journey.

🙏 Grateful to my co-founder, my family, my friends, mentors & clients who believed in me.

🙏 Special thanks to: Cyril Nandan Nazareth, Abhijit Paul, Abhishek Paul, Abhisek Agarwal (yes, two of them! 😄)

🙏 And to our amazing team:

SK. Kishan Babu, Sandra Joyce, Manjiri Pande, Bhaskar Boroo, Tarun Preet Kaur, Sonal Shukla, Parmita Mazumder, Payel Mandal, Shreya Jaiswal, Amritansh Tandon — thank you for believing in our vision. 🌟

This is just the beginning — I’ve never been more tired… or more alive. 😄💥

Let’s build. Let’s impact. Let’s grow.
