Founder who survived on bread, water at 18 thinks everyone should go ‘completely broke’ once
A Mumbai-based founder recently took to social media to share how hitting rock bottom at 18 shaped his entrepreneurial resilience. Recounting a time when he was so broke that he survived solely on bread and water for seven consecutive days, the entrepreneur argued that experiencing extreme financial hardship is a vital life lesson. While acknowledging that poverty isn’t noble, he emphasised that surviving total helplessness taught him he could overcome any future business failure, financial crisis, or rejection.A Mumbai-based founder shared this picture on LinkedIn.

I know that sounds like a horrible thing to wish on someone. And I don’t mean the kind of broke where you can’t afford the vacation you wanted, or you have to wait until next month to buy something. I mean actually broke. Broke for education, broke for food!” wrote Mumbai-based founder Abhishek Agarwal.Also Read:
