3. Chauffeur.

Mitradeep was an IT professional and was doing well. He was only a fresher with his first year into job.

He was taking home around ₹22k a month, which was a typical earning as a fresher.

He was so good at what he did that he always felt he was not meant for a job.

He wanted to start something on his own and didn't want to wait.

Few folks suggested that he should go for a start-up project and raise funds through investors.

He wasn't entirely convinced with this idea as once investors pitch in, they have their say but Mitradeep wanted to execute his own way.

He thought of working on his idea simultaneously with job but could seldom find time since the job was very much demanding.

One day while strolling post lunch, he saw a bunch of chauffeurs loitering around. He went and asked them - are you guys free from work?

One of them told - we start at 8.30 or 9.00 in the morning and once we drop our bosses, we are relatively free until the end of the day.

Eureka!! He said to himself - I'll take up a job of a chauffeur and shall make around the similar amount. The whole day I shall have time to work on my idea.

He actually did that. Bootstrapped his idea, gave birth to his baby and floated around.

Today, he is a millionaire and has a chauffeur who is an engineer.
