Mar 14 2022 • 48 mins

Do you want to start a side hustle?

Do you want to shift from corporate to entrepreneurship?

Then this episode is the answer to your questions.

From finance to sales,

From banking to cybersecurity,

Tinesh Chhaya has experienced it all.

He started his journey in finance but soon realized he needed to switch.

He moved to sales, where he sold address verification software door to door.

It didn't take him long to realize there was much more to life than what he was doing.

He then joined Gartner, which turned out to be the best decision of his life. He got an inside-out view of the entire market.

That's where he fell in love with cybersecurity.

He switched a lot of roles and did a number of side hustles before starting his own firm in cybersecurity.

Today he is very proud to say that he is building the largest database of CyberSecurity vendors globally with his startup Decipher Cyber.

The following are two important lessons he learned from his side hustles:

  1. Always do whatever you are passionate about
  2. Choose your business partner correctly

In this episode of Empowering Indian Expats, you will learn about

  • Sales
  • Importance of mentorship
  • Finding opportunities
  • Career switching
  • Following your passion
  • Identifying the problem
  • Creating the solution
