The Indie Hacker Grind: From Zero to Exit

Quitting your job, dealing with immigration stress, and launching product after product—all while fighting off imposter syndrome?

That’s the real indie hacker grind, and Abhishek’s been through it all.

In this episode, he breaks down how he went from chasing VC funding (and getting rejected) to building, scaling, and selling a profitable startup.

We get into

1. The brutal lessons from early failures,

2. Why most indie hackers think too small, and

3. The mindset shift that changed everything.

Plus, we talk about immigration struggles as a founder, betting on yourself, and why being just a little delusional might actually be the key to success.

If you're an indie hacker, founder, or just love a raw, unfiltered startup story, this one’s a must-watch. Hit play & dive in! 🎥👇

"I think one thing that I'm realizing is we can push a little harder to think a little bit bigger and to start to at least chip away at a larger compound problem. Indie hackers have a significant advantage in execution—they know how to go to market, how to get customers, how to build without overthinking." -
