- I’m Mayur Sontakke, a CFA Charterholder, finance professional, and entrepreneur.
- In 2014, I quit my (well-paying) job to join a startup at a pay cut that gave me the freedom to work remotely!
- Remote working changed everything for me…I got opportunities to explore the world, live well, think differently, pursue CFA, meet my life partner, and be an entrepreneur.
- In 2018, I became an entrepreneur advising companies on remote work and strategy, helping them transition to remote work!
- Here is my story about following my instincts, choosing to travel while working full-time, living in the countryside, and starting ventures to help people do so.
From a small-town boy to a rewarding career in finance
I am a small-town boy who grew up in Kolhapur (India) and later studied computer applications for my bachelor’s.
Growing up I loved reading and playing with numbers, and always knew someday I’ll end up working in financial services!
After working in the IT sector and trying out a couple of failed start-up ideas (that’s another story), I joined CRISIL’s analyst program in 2010 and was a part of their large corporate team until the end of 2013!
