I got an ad of a person being like "how many streams of passive income do you have , do you still work everyday" while watching this video. The irony is really funny and proves the importance of this video.
broh!! WHAT IS THIS!! Please "hesitate" haha, I am 23 and this has literally given me new perspectives, THANKS for BREAKING THE BUBBLE!! This is actually a TED TALK, a good one! Thanks a tonn
Bro you’re like an underrated song which nobody knows, until a small part of that song goes on viral on reels and everybody knows abt the song and no one would listen it fully!! Everyone demands for “knowledge sharing” but only very few imbibe them with an open, neutral, modest, unbiased mindset. It’s been 7 years since I started watching you, I have seen instances where people call you arrogant, narcissistic etc but to me I feel more relatable to you, I don’t know if I’m like this since birth or am becoming like you since I admire you a lot… Love you bro, keeping growing..❤🎉
Varun is the real OG. I loved the part where it says - your salary has to make sense in the P&L & other pointers. Beyond that, to sum it up - success take 15-20 years and he had me there. Super insightful. Please share this deck!
@@AnonMusk369 P&L = Profit & Loss of books of your company. In P&L as you would know there are revenues and expenses. If they pay you 10L salary & training (Expense in P&L) they expect you to contribute atleast 20L revenue per year to make sense.
Hey mate that some solid lessons. Worth each minute, as a founder and previously working as an employee its so much relatable. Been following you for almost 5 years (avalon meta), enjoyed most of your contents and finally commenting on one for the first bcs this is hard truths. Sharing to my co founders. Thanks mate. Cheers to more harder yet worthwhile shts, we will figure it out :)
I have no idea how I stumbled upon this, don't even know what the channel is about, but I can see the conviction and genuineness he's talking with, about some of the hardly talked about things in this sphere. As a 30+ person, trying to jumpstart the halted career with unconventional ways, this is a great talk to prep myself with. Kudos on providing value and not just content (I wish these words didn't mean different). I am halfway through the talk, and will edit this comment once I have completed watching it entirely.
broo as a fresher i switched job in just 25 days just a few days back and I made so many mistakes during my time there that I regret very much. if only this video was posted one month earlier I could have made a smooth transition. every day when I started fo working in that company I used to watch 1hr of yt on how to behave in a company and got the same content in those 10min videos which never gave the whole picture
This is like a solo podcast & not just normal varun mayya video. I just want to add one point here, which I think soo many would've added but still I want to share & it's that when I was growing up society & people who were working in private & IT sectors used to scare when it came to grabbing first job/internship & when I actually went it was normal & new experience for me. Scaring should be wiped out & guiding to the Young generation should be prioritised more which millenials are doing right now.
This is a really interesting perspective, instead of scaring someone and at least contributing to 1% of someone's betterment can add so much wisdom in this society.
This is one of the best videos I have ever watched on CZcams, aside from some crazy tutorials. I have always had a doubt about how to perform in a company right after coming out of college, and how to tackle being a professional from both a mindset and skillset perspective. Thank you for these insights. Really helped.
What a master storyteller. You’re a real gem in this society which monetises knowledge and “get employed” type secrets which should ideally be free to everyone. Transparency is king and kind. Thank you from the heart.
The content was awesome! I didn't even realize how 1 hour flew by. I was fully engaged and not distracted for a second. The honest and hard truths about running a business were incredibly valuable.❤❤
1 hour 27 minutes of unabashed honesty and brilliant wisdom on modern jobs. In this age where you feel like creators are out to get rich and offer shitty advice. Brilliant stuff man. Thanks for reminding that you who have our back. 28 years old here and everything you said rang true. I am even more hyped to upskill, work with younger generations and build something of worth.
The thing about the "test" is very right. The test for me was for training a model on to perform brain tumor segmentation and preparing a pipeline for survival prediction of the patient using the segmented tumor data. It was during my internship, I had never worked with 3d images and i was fearful that i would fail. But after failing too many times and pulling that task at last alone, gave me a huge confidence boost. Yeah, but these "tests" never end!
Holy shit. Probably the best and most honest takes I've seen in a while. Thank you so much for putting this out. Literally golden words. First time I've sat through an entire CZcams video in my entire life probably
I needed to watch this today. Saw a friend buying a house at 23 and another going on my dream trip. Had the biggest imposter syndrome and felt like a failure. You’re right, what I want to achieve isn’t gonna happen fast, BUT it’s gonna be so good it’ll be worth it ❤ Thankyou. Really. You’re amazing.
First time hearing someone talking about the company and employees side view. I'm 40 and had that thought why to listen to you. But I know, knowledge doesn't come from age. Thank you for insights ❤
Being a professional who has been in industry for 17+ years and been in bootstraps too, I completely resonate with what you mentioned. This talk will definitely help the new gen to carry realistic expectations. Wish you all the best!

All the best with your proposal. When you propose it, make sure you’re respectful of the earlier process but show how you can improve it with your suggestions. Make it sound like you are refining what they’ve built so far. People always resist change. Go sweet and slow on them. Another thing, innovation comes in the first 18 months. You’re old enough to have observed the current system. You’re new enough to accept change. You’re at the right mark. ATB!

Woah this was amazing. I too realise that in my mind I think I have too much potential but when I start questioning myself how will I do it then it makes understand that it's not so easy as I was thinking. Will someone day work in your company, you and the people around you are perfect environment for me 🙌
Thanks for the confirmation. After building an app at my workplace, I am gonna work on marketing, adoption and converting them. I can't wait for long years, better to put in hours building leverage. All of it makes sense. Thanks Varun.
There's a Sam Altman video on How to build a startup, that was many years ago. Why I am bringing this up is, this video has the exact same character, or vibe so to say which that video had....and that is very hard to get... Great Job Varun, really looking forward for more such workshops, thank you for putting this online🙏🏼
Man, I am little ahead than most people this video is intended for (already 5 years into my career). I resonate so much with this. This is the video people going into or coming out of college should definitely watch. Kudos for putting it out for free.
Thanks a lot varun sir this video is a lifesaver for me recently i lost my job and very much depressed with many mental distractions this video changed many of my existing belief & perspective towards what the actual reality is & what a company expects from an employer. ❤
Almost 1.5 hours of video, I just came to check for first 10 minutes of it. And after an hour I am still watching it. Every minute of it is making a complete sense to me( as an employee).
This is something really important, especially for the folks following the cool dudes of social media and genz culture in Jobs. It explains the old school way of resilience and perserverance in your domain.
I got into my first job and it was an eye opener. While joining I had all the preconceived notion like about making money and other things. And now that I got the taste of it, I sat in a library and literally took notes so that I won't make any mistakes and live in like real world. Thank you so much. ❤
yup.... this lecture was important for a gen-z like me. who graduated after covid and haven't work on anything real. this video is like a reality check for me . lets see how much can I take out from this video and put in real life.
Truly worth it to spend 1.5 hours on this video! For a bit now, I've been feeling pressurised due to my own thinking and felt left behind because I'm not making crazy money. But this gave me a clear picture. Also I feel in the right track as i've really been able to stay committed day in and day out for more than a year with my current company. Lots of love to you for this amazing content piece.
F**king changed the perspectives and the perception of what it takes to stand alone as a Company, yeah damn shit goes in what actually matters in creation and anyway a blower of what are unseen costs of company .
okay, I'm in 4th year, I feel I really need to learn these things. I have been in awkward situations with founders/ CEOs in startups. I hope this will help. Thanks Varun bhaiya
70 hours a week- 10hours a day or 12 if someone wants a sunday off. Practically spending half my day on work? Yeah mate that’s the reason why everybody has existential crisis and 1000 mental health disorders. If that’s how you want to define your life, good on you mate. Anybody that’s still up for this, 12+8(sleep) leaves you with 4 hours of your day for yourself. I often wonder if the technology is really advancing why do we need to work more? Make it make sense.
It's funny how most of your internet feed is crap you know isn't anywhere close to reality, but yet it messes with you, your expectations and your actions. But once in a while some people just come along tell obvious facts, things you already know, and it brings you back to your senses and this feels enlightening and instils a sense of peace in you. I guess accepting the truth isn't easy, and it helps if someone puts it in words for you. Thank you for this @VarunMayya !
This is what I wanted every youngster to hear. It is not easy to earn real money. It takes time. It demands so many sacrifices. This is what I pay my internet bill for.
Man! that was one hell of a presentation. Exceptional Fluency and articulation, both language and content. Haven't realized that more than an hour has passed. Well done varun!
This is the most eye opening and the fruitful lecture, that anyone in 20s can ever watch, everything you spoke about just makes sense and gives clarity to what is actually reality, thanks to you for making this free on CZcams,u earned a massive respect from this
I've never watched entire video of 1 hr 27 mins of any persons. Sometime not even TedT. Some points i literally replayed again to get the ful concept. Thank you for being completely raw about your experiences.
Everyone between the ages of 15 and 35 should watch this. This was time well spent. Some hard truths i needed to hear and all kinds of important stuff was said. Thanks Varun Mayya and team. ❤
I never been this much happy by a unknown person or by a video....this video is really eye opening for me and gave answers for my lots of questions. I hope this reach to all and helps to build the leverage and career. Thanks a lot to providing such a valuable content.
This the best video for young people and who are all working in a company including me "Not ME LOL i'm unemployed".I gone Try what are all you say . THANK YOU VARUN .
I started working only 8 months ago at a 2 year old startup of 10 people. I interned for 3 months before joining full time. 80% of whatever's said in this video, I understood during my time here as an intern. One coz my founders are transparent about most stuff and two, because when you work at a startup, you aren't treated as an employee; you are accountable for your part as an equal. You see everything so closely that you kinda understand the workings of starting a company. It's not as glamorous as the media makes it and not everyone's cut out to be a founder.
Amazing presentation! I recently graduated from a tier-3 college where the curriculum didn't adequately prepare us for the real world. Thank you for delivering such valuable content.
In 2015 your parents were not cool with you running a startup, but you did anyway. That time you were their GenZ. And now Varun believes-like his parents-that GenZ are not having a realistic approach to their career. From owning dedicated physical infrastructure for our product we did move to the cloud just like from working for someone we moved to being entrepreneurs. GenZ or whichever generation is just getting started with tech, they'll be driving the next trend. No matter how much we "school" them the way our parents schooled us because "beta humne itne saal ghisaya hai" - this sound similar to I've been a founder for more than decade so what I say is gospel.
It was a crazy good discussion. It is 2 at night now. I usually dont stay late. But I am happy that I stayed late for this. It has improved my perception. Being a GenZ is hard these days, with so much opinions blasted on, is tough. I badly wanted this kind of mentorship and your genuine take on it, helped me a lot. Thanks from my heart. ❤
The part where Varun mentions about people asking for crazy salaries, i understand the kind. One of my friend constantly asks me to quit my job here and change companies so I can get a salary hike quickly. But I always feel like, even if I'm paid more, will I be able to do justice to my salary, because I'm still learning and I haven't driven any real results. For example, we hired an experienced person for a role at a fairly big cost but 4 months later the company had to fire the person because there wasn't any active participation from their end. Companies might hire you, but if you bring no real value, no one will keep you.
This truly shows how settling expectations beforehand with new teams makes it way easier as leaders to build rapport and drive future growth. Learnt a lot as an Employer as well as an Employee. I have been planning to do the same with my teams and this has been an insightful reminder. Thanks for sharing this Varun!
Being a first time founder, this video just shook me and brought me to reality. It would be really helpful if you share the deck(atleast the employee perspective)....thanks in advance.
Thanks Varun for this video. A lot of young folks like me who started their corporate career in the last year having so much brain fogg and confusion related to how to navigate through this new world. Got clear answers to a lot of my questions I had in my this new journey of life.
I am an entrepreneur and my startup got shut in 2021. I started doing jobs after it and your video gave me a lot of clarity. Most of the things you said I have already read it somewhere and your video was a revision for me to come back to my senses. Thank you.
Perfect timing, Varun! It's crazy how no one is addressing the real truth about reality. Everyone acts like achieving anything is easy, but the real issue is we spend more time in our heads than facing uncomfortable facts. Anyways,life is hard..... but we will figure this out!
Finally SOMEONE told the truth. This was the much needed talk for the social media influenced generation. It's too helpful. Thankyou Varun. Do bring more such REAL talks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you! I thought I was going insane from asking these valid questions and speaking for embracing reality. I had to fight to keep my common sense amidst the ridiculous illusions the internet spins. I am not a millionaire and don't wish to be one. But I am glad I can be mindful of my hardwork, take calculated risks, and wear my victories and failures on the beaten down cap that sits on my head. Things that are built to last are built steadily over time and much evolution.
I haven't consumed your content for a while but this is wow. Your comments on GenZ are similar to what my professor told about attitude of his interns and their impatience. ❤ Thanks Varun
1:00:10 VIVAIFICATION as an engineering student this is the most apt( not a linux pun ) explanation of what Engineering is all about now it has been vivaified very badly
I am a 21 year old fresh graduate , extremely under confident and over stressing , had the opportunity of landing an internship at swiggy in sales from the last week i've been feeling very scared and tensed about my capability of proving my worth . This video gave me the motivation and inspiration on the things i can work on , and to be an employee who can really contribute for the betterment of the company rather than throwing jargons. Love you Mr. Mayya ❤❤
It definitely is the unpopular opinion in today media age, but the way you made those unexciting statements while explaining the workings in the background it actually makes sense.
This video is validation to my perspective of professional career because I'm the person who is planning my next 15 years but had my doubts and i am 5 years in that journey ... so thank you varun for this video
I really don't know whether u read this or not but i was confused whether i should start freelancing, a ageny with friends or a better job but thank to ur video i have understand first i have to prove myself in job but not for any company but for that company i believe that i do anything to make this company big and if I'm in a good company they will never stop me freelancing they encouraged me if I'm giving everything to make them big.....i think this reality check was needed thx u very much ❤❤❤
The company I'm working for revenue 600Mn+, as weird as it may sound works so heavily on excel that I was blown away with what could be achieved. Massive powerful tool!
Honest applause to the honest video and speaker. The point which touched me more is when you talked about Loyalty and serious founders like Loyal people. Thank you brother for sharing so much valuable information for free.
Working as a Dev in the industry for 9 years now, in my younger days (3-4yrs exp) I was also doing/thinking the same things he said on first few slides. But slowly understood what the ground reality is, now everyday I just try to make my salary worth my company's P&L sheet.
You have conveyed sheer knowledge and insights which no one else is talking about. Thanks a lot for your sessions. Looking forward to hear great success stories about you and all the people around you. Thanks man.
I felt so much resistance to watch this video cause I knew I’ll get some heart breaking facts but the truth was actually not so bad 😄 Happy to get a solid reality check 💯❤️
I think the reason why it takes five to 10 years to succeed in business is that trust is not easy and it takes time. You might have the best product in the world and you may be in a hurry to sell but the customer is not in a hurry to buy. This is why I recommend to my students that whether or not they have a product or a business now, they should start earning people's trust starting from today. This way when they have a product to sell the trust will be there already and they will get sales much faster. They can also get investors faster because they have a proven track record.
Well this is a really great video, as I myself want to eventually start a company of my own, but also because I currently work in an early stage startup and this video gave a pretty good understanding of a founder's perspective as well as other components of the business that are essential in keeping it running. Also I checked your Aeos company website. Just a little nitpick that the footer of the webpage (bottom-right) has the following texts - "Terms & Conditions" and "Privacy Policy", but these don't work and redirect to any specified page (unless they are not designed to be hyperlinks, but I don't think so). So I guess you can either make them functional or remove them altogether.
@@VarunMayyaDamn, you guys just wanna get rid of your website 😅 How will that work? I guess maybe when AR becomes better and affordable, then some new form of visual interaction/discovery might come into play. Either way, all the best in your journey ahead!
@@VarunMayya Yeah sending directly is how I think it works most of the time. In the context of a website, I think discoverability is about users making the action themself to find more information about a company, rather than company doing it themself. So if user wishes to search more about a company, then if we consider this discoverability, then I think here website will be needed.
I am currently working on a project after taking a break from my job to pursue my masters and facing all this shit that you told with my fellow GenZ guys. These bitter words of wisdom was absolutely needed. Thanks for the words of wisdom Varun. You have earned my respect dude ❤
Varun is truly one of a kind entrepreneur. After listening to him, you just can’t handle the other bullshit talks, sugar coated advice and most importantly those time wasting corporate meetings
Thank you for such a master piece of a work man As a 19 year old it does help us in situations where we are just lost in college Thank you once again Also can you some videos related to Electronics and communication engineering and what is its scope Just a request Thank you so much once again
How am I watching without a paywall? I'm joining in as fresher and it's been so stressful to scale up and show my skill set it's honestly like an unsaid manual we aren't aware of. Thank you, thank you so much. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Absolutely loved this video! Varun's courage to speak the harsh truths about the modern workforce is both refreshing and necessary. The overwhelmingly positive response (5k likes to 45 dislikes) shows just how impactful and relevant this message is. Kudos!
Thank you Varun for sharing this much needed insight from your experience. I’ll try to learn from it and implement in my career. Please make Part-2 whenever you feel that things have changed.

This is something really important, especially for the folks following the cool dudes of social media and genz culture in Jobs. It explains the old school way of resilience and perserverance in your domain.
I got into my first job and it was an eye opener. While joining I had all the preconceived notion like about making money and other things.
And now that I got the taste of it, I sat in a library and literally took notes so that I won't make any mistakes and live in like real world.
Thank you so much. ❤
could you elaborate what have specifically changed in your thought process before and after working at a company?
yup.... this lecture was important for a gen-z like me. who graduated after covid and haven't work on anything real. this video is like a reality check for me . lets see how much can I take out from this video and put in real life.
Truly worth it to spend 1.5 hours on this video! For a bit now, I've been feeling pressurised due to my own thinking and felt left behind because I'm not making crazy money. But this gave me a clear picture. Also I feel in the right track as i've really been able to stay committed day in and day out for more than a year with my current company.
Lots of love to you for this amazing content piece.
F**king changed the perspectives and the perception of what it takes to stand alone as a Company, yeah damn shit goes in what actually matters in creation and anyway a blower of what are unseen costs of company .
okay, I'm in 4th year, I feel I really need to learn these things. I have been in awkward situations with founders/ CEOs in startups. I hope this will help.
Thanks Varun bhaiya
70 hours a week- 10hours a day or 12 if someone wants a sunday off. Practically spending half my day on work? Yeah mate that’s the reason why everybody has existential crisis and 1000 mental health disorders. If that’s how you want to define your life, good on you mate.
Anybody that’s still up for this, 12+8(sleep) leaves you with 4 hours of your day for yourself. I often wonder if the technology is really advancing why do we need to work more? Make it make sense.
It's funny how most of your internet feed is crap you know isn't anywhere close to reality, but yet it messes with you, your expectations and your actions. But once in a while some people just come along tell obvious facts, things you already know, and it brings you back to your senses and this feels enlightening and instils a sense of peace in you. I guess accepting the truth isn't easy, and it helps if someone puts it in words for you. Thank you for this @VarunMayya !
This information holds so much value. Being 25 years old, it offers a unique perspective on the world. Thanks, Varun for sharing this!
Same bro.
This is what I wanted every youngster to hear. It is not easy to earn real money. It takes time. It demands so many sacrifices.
This is what I pay my internet bill for.
Man! that was one hell of a presentation. Exceptional Fluency and articulation, both language and content. Haven't realized that more than an hour has passed. Well done varun!
This is the most eye opening and the fruitful lecture, that anyone in 20s can ever watch, everything you spoke about just makes sense and gives clarity to what is actually reality, thanks to you for making this free on CZcams,u earned a massive respect from this
I've never watched entire video of 1 hr 27 mins of any persons. Sometime not even TedT. Some points i literally replayed again to get the ful concept. Thank you for being completely raw about your experiences.
Everyone between the ages of 15 and 35 should watch this. This was time well spent. Some hard truths i needed to hear and all kinds of important stuff was said. Thanks Varun Mayya and team. ❤
Best Video watched in the past few months on youtube. Really liked how simply you put forth the realities of life in startup and today's generation. 👍
I genuinely learned a lot and discovered the phases of how recruitment works for an early-stage startup.
THIS IS THE THING THAT ACADEMY NEEDS TO TEACH
SO LUCKY TO BE BORN IN THIS DIGITAL ERA, GETTING THIS DIGITAL EDUCATION
LITERALLY, A LIFE SAVER!!
I never been this much happy by a unknown person or by a video....this video is really eye opening for me and gave answers for my lots of questions. I hope this reach to all and helps to build the leverage and career. Thanks a lot to providing such a valuable content.
This the best video for young people and who are all working in a company including me "Not ME LOL i'm unemployed".I gone Try what are all you say . THANK YOU VARUN .
I started working only 8 months ago at a 2 year old startup of 10 people. I interned for 3 months before joining full time. 80% of whatever's said in this video, I understood during my time here as an intern. One coz my founders are transparent about most stuff and two, because when you work at a startup, you aren't treated as an employee; you are accountable for your part as an equal. You see everything so closely that you kinda understand the workings of starting a company. It's not as glamorous as the media makes it and not everyone's cut out to be a founder.
Amazing presentation! I recently graduated from a tier-3 college where the curriculum didn't adequately prepare us for the real world. Thank you for delivering such valuable content.
Varun! The way you break things down is next-level genius. Your vibe is always on point and your content is seriously top-tier.
In 2015 your parents were not cool with you running a startup, but you did anyway. That time you were their GenZ.
And now Varun believes-like his parents-that GenZ are not having a realistic approach to their career.
From owning dedicated physical infrastructure for our product we did move to the cloud just like from working for someone we moved to being entrepreneurs.
GenZ or whichever generation is just getting started with tech, they'll be driving the next trend. No matter how much we "school" them the way our parents schooled us because "beta humne itne saal ghisaya hai" - this sound similar to I've been a founder for more than decade so what I say is gospel.
It was a crazy good discussion. It is 2 at night now. I usually dont stay late. But I am happy that I stayed late for this. It has improved my perception. Being a GenZ is hard these days, with so much opinions blasted on, is tough. I badly wanted this kind of mentorship and your genuine take on it, helped me a lot.
Thanks from my heart. ❤
The part where Varun mentions about people asking for crazy salaries, i understand the kind. One of my friend constantly asks me to quit my job here and change companies so I can get a salary hike quickly. But I always feel like, even if I'm paid more, will I be able to do justice to my salary, because I'm still learning and I haven't driven any real results.
For example, we hired an experienced person for a role at a fairly big cost but 4 months later the company had to fire the person because there wasn't any active participation from their end. Companies might hire you, but if you bring no real value, no one will keep you.
90 mins of gold. Getting this for free is INSANE! Watched it without pausing, even rewinded a few times for certain slides.
This truly shows how settling expectations beforehand with new teams makes it way easier as leaders to build rapport and drive future growth. Learnt a lot as an Employer as well as an Employee. I have been planning to do the same with my teams and this has been an insightful reminder. Thanks for sharing this Varun!
Being a first time founder, this video just shook me and brought me to reality. It would be really helpful if you share the deck(atleast the employee perspective)....thanks in advance.
Thanks Varun for this video. A lot of young folks like me who started their corporate career in the last year having so much brain fogg and confusion related to how to navigate through this new world. Got clear answers to a lot of my questions I had in my this new journey of life.
Loved how you analyse and put behavioral insight of today's generation.❤
I am an entrepreneur and my startup got shut in 2021. I started doing jobs after it and your video gave me a lot of clarity. Most of the things you said I have already read it somewhere and your video was a revision for me to come back to my senses. Thank you.
what are you doing now, how much did you startup made
Perfect timing, Varun! It's crazy how no one is addressing the real truth about reality. Everyone acts like achieving anything is easy, but the real issue is we spend more time in our heads than facing uncomfortable facts. Anyways,life is hard..... but we will figure this out!
Someone had to open up this truth and I'm not surprised it's you.
Worth watching and we'll be sharing it.
Finally SOMEONE told the truth. This was the much needed talk for the social media influenced generation. It's too helpful. Thankyou Varun. Do bring more such REAL talks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you! I thought I was going insane from asking these valid questions and speaking for embracing reality. I had to fight to keep my common sense amidst the ridiculous illusions the internet spins. I am not a millionaire and don't wish to be one. But I am glad I can be mindful of my hardwork, take calculated risks, and wear my victories and failures on the beaten down cap that sits on my head. Things that are built to last are built steadily over time and much evolution.
I haven't consumed your content for a while but this is wow. Your comments on GenZ are similar to what my professor told about attitude of his interns and their impatience. ❤ Thanks Varun
1:00:10 VIVAIFICATION
as an engineering student this is the most apt( not a linux pun ) explanation of what Engineering is all about now
it has been vivaified very badly
Thanks for brusting the bubble!
You seriously changed my perspective for my manager. I kept cursing him for a year.
I am a 21 year old fresh graduate , extremely under confident and over stressing , had the opportunity of landing an internship at swiggy in sales from the last week i've been feeling very scared and tensed about my capability of proving my worth . This video gave me the motivation and inspiration on the things i can work on , and to be an employee who can really contribute for the betterment of the company rather than throwing jargons. Love you Mr. Mayya ❤❤
Watched in one go
Very soon starting college
Learned that focus on gaining leverage such as experience,skill, communication,
which college, if you can mention?

Very few honest people in the world, thanks for great content. Hope we meet someday when my company grows
It definitely is the unpopular opinion in today media age, but the way you made those unexciting statements while explaining the workings in the background it actually makes sense.
This video is validation to my perspective of professional career because I'm the person who is planning my next 15 years but had my doubts and i am 5 years in that journey ... so thank you varun for this video
I really don't know whether u read this or not but i was confused whether i should start freelancing, a ageny with friends or a better job but thank to ur video i have understand first i have to prove myself in job but not for any company but for that company i believe that i do anything to make this company big and if I'm in a good company they will never stop me freelancing they encouraged me if I'm giving everything to make them big.....i think this reality check was needed thx u very much ❤❤❤
Awesome talk, from both a founder's pov and an employee. Every minute is gold
The company I'm working for revenue 600Mn+, as weird as it may sound works so heavily on excel that I was blown away with what could be achieved. Massive powerful tool!
Honest applause to the honest video and speaker. The point which touched me more is when you talked about Loyalty and serious founders like Loyal people. Thank you brother for sharing so much valuable information for free.
I cannot imagine if we had teachers like him in our schools and colleges 😳🙏💪
Couldn't watch it in 1 sitting, but definitely worth watching the entire thing
Working as a Dev in the industry for 9 years now, in my younger days (3-4yrs exp) I was also doing/thinking the same things he said on first few slides. But slowly understood what the ground reality is, now everyday I just try to make my salary worth my company's P&L sheet.
You have conveyed sheer knowledge and insights which no one else is talking about. Thanks a lot for your sessions. Looking forward to hear great success stories about you and all the people around you. Thanks man.
I felt so much resistance to watch this video cause I knew I’ll get some heart breaking facts but the truth was actually not so bad 😄 Happy to get a solid reality check 💯❤️
I think the reason why it takes five to 10 years to succeed in business is that trust is not easy and it takes time.
You might have the best product in the world and you may be in a hurry to sell but the customer is not in a hurry to buy.
This is why I recommend to my students that whether or not they have a product or a business now, they should start earning people's trust starting from today.
This way when they have a product to sell the trust will be there already and they will get sales much faster. They can also get investors faster because they have a proven track record.
Well this is a really great video, as I myself want to eventually start a company of my own, but also because I currently work in an early stage startup and this video gave a pretty good understanding of a founder's perspective as well as other components of the business that are essential in keeping it running.
Also I checked your Aeos company website. Just a little nitpick that the footer of the webpage (bottom-right) has the following texts - "Terms & Conditions" and "Privacy Policy", but these don't work and redirect to any specified page (unless they are not designed to be hyperlinks, but I don't think so). So I guess you can either make them functional or remove them altogether.
We’re a company focused on video + AI so in an ideal world we want to completely do away with our website :)
@@VarunMayyaDamn, you guys just wanna get rid of your website 😅
How will that work? I guess maybe when AR becomes better and affordable, then some new form of visual interaction/discovery might come into play.
Either way, all the best in your journey ahead!
@@Skyvastern discovery can just be us sending a video :)
@@VarunMayya Yeah sending directly is how I think it works most of the time.
In the context of a website, I think discoverability is about users making the action themself to find more information about a company, rather than company doing it themself.
So if user wishes to search more about a company, then if we consider this discoverability, then I think here website will be needed.
Opening eyes of a 21 year old !! Thank You
It's really cool to be a founder until the burden of being a founder hits. Really valuable content bro, lots of love
I worked at workplace first time got a lot of compliments for my work and made me realise I’m capable
I am currently working on a project after taking a break from my job to pursue my masters and facing all this shit that you told with my fellow GenZ guys. These bitter words of wisdom was absolutely needed. Thanks for the words of wisdom Varun. You have earned my respect dude ❤
Varun is truly one of a kind entrepreneur.
After listening to him, you just can’t handle the other bullshit talks, sugar coated advice and most importantly those time wasting corporate meetings
Thank you for such a master piece of a work man
As a 19 year old it does help us in situations where we are just lost in college
Thank you once again
Also can you some videos related to Electronics and communication engineering and what is its scope
Just a request
Thank you so much once again
How am I watching without a paywall? I'm joining in as fresher and it's been so stressful to scale up and show my skill set it's honestly like an unsaid manual we aren't aware of. Thank you, thank you so much. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Absolutely loved this video! Varun's courage to speak the harsh truths about the modern workforce is both refreshing and necessary. The overwhelmingly positive response (5k likes to 45 dislikes) shows just how impactful and relevant this message is. Kudos!
How you see dislike counts?
Thank you Varun for sharing this much needed insight from your experience. I’ll try to learn from it and implement in my career. Please make Part-2 whenever you feel that things have changed.
Dhandha koi majak baat nahi hai bhai, really insightful Varun, knew a lot of it in bits and pieces well put.
