I agree. I have worked in Infosys after my graduation for 1.8 years before I quit and started my own firm. All these organisations are big thing in India, but what they do is nothing more than run big sweat-shops. Its unfortunate to see huge number of talented young Indians getting sucked into these firms. After 4 to 5 years working here, and they are useless to work anywhere else.

The Idea seems to be taken from Surfer Dude (2008) movie, staring Matthew McConaughey.
I live in India, Pune. So the expense are really low as compared to US or Europe. Plus, I really cut down on expenses and still manage to have decent lifestyle. I have a cook coming in to cook food and a maid to clean the house.

I worked for a year and saved enough ($3000). This amount of money will go long way (8 to 10 months) if I spend frugally. I am already 4 months into developing the startup.

Another thing is, develop a knack for getting things cheaply. If you search around, you can get same things far cheaper, than say from a Mall or Big shop.
