💬 “Paisa Bhagwaan nahi… par kam bhi nahi.”
For Ananya Iyer from Bengaluru, this wasn’t just a dialogue.
It was a reality check.
She had a stable job. A predictable income. A routine life. But deep down, she knew one thing:
👉 Stability is not growth.
👉 Salary is not scaled.
🚀 The Realisation
Every day, she saw:

But something else stood out:
👉 Plastic was still everywhere.

👉 Supply was inconsistent.
That’s when she started thinking like a businessperson.
