Bengaluru founder recalls quitting Infosys to start business: ‘Family was so disappointed’

Ujjawal Asthana quit Infosys in 2010 to start his first business, ThoughtNirvana.

Asthana's family was disappointed about him leaving a stable Infosys job.

ThoughtNirvana charged $50-100 per hour building software for US companies.

Asthana is CEO of TruFlo and co-founded D2C brand Zymrat, acquired by Styched in 2023.

His post responded to Pravin Jadhav's story about banks denying loans to founders as high risk.
