Versatile engineer + risks => Entrepreneur!>> https://www.sauravaryan.com Phd dropout Entrepreneur highly skilled in AI, Virtual Reality, Robotics, . But, I am not all about belonging to the top engineering schools in India and France with excellent academic records. After masters fully funded by scholarships, I joined a doctoral program in AI. Pandemic arrived, said hello to the stock market. Had a brutal introduction losing some money in day trading options (70 % of the savings gone in a month). Learnt about risk, reward not just in stock market but also in life. Lessons learnt, recovered all the losses (and now always in green). Simulated the PnL analysis considering the risk and reward of staying in doctoral program vs the exploring the entrepreneurial path. Never regretted the decision to drop out.
