Reason for Departure:
Explaining his reasons for stepping away, he wrote, โThere are two key factors behind my decision. First, itโs about reprioritizing my life. Building a business demands sacrifices, often at the expense of work-life balance. In retrospect, it was completely worth it, but as life evolves, so do our priorities. Moving forward, I want to focus on achieving a better balance.โ
Future Plans:
โThe second reason is minimizing regrets. There are many things Iโve always wanted to pursue, and I feel now is the time to act before itโs too late,โ Anand continued.
Uncertain Next Steps:
โAs of now, Iโm unsure of my next professional steps. Iโll be exploring different paths and taking the necessary time to figure out my future. One thing is certain: I will continue contributing to the startup ecosystem and aim to help build more CaratLanes. The specific capacity is still to be determined. Iโm also hoping to explore the other interests Iโve had for a long time. Those who know me will understand what I mean,โ he concluded.
