In this episode, I visit Ravindra Elicherla at his home in Bangalore — a four bedroom villa he funded entirely through stock market profits. He started his career earning ₹8,000 a month. He quit his job in August 2024. And today he makes ₹3-4 lakhs a month in passive income — with a peak of ₹10-12 lakhs. He has no boss. No appraisals. No alarm clock anxiety.
