Aman Goel, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, made headlines after he decided to leave a high-paying internship at Rubrik in Silicon Valley, where he earned ₹6.9 lakh (approximately $8,000) a month, to pursue his entrepreneurial aspirations in India. Reflecting on his experience, Goel shared that the internship provided him with significant insights into engineering culture and product development, thanks to mentorship from a senior at IIT Bombay. However, it was the clarity he gained about his career path that prompted him to return to India in 2016 to focus on building his own ventures. He has since co-founded Cogno AI and GreyLabs AI. His story resonated with many on social media, garnering over 112,000 views and praise for his courageous decision to leave behind the comforts of Silicon Valley. Goel's journey underscores a rising trend of Indian entrepreneurs choosing to innovate in their home country rather than abroad.
