A 23-year-old Delhi-based entrepreneur named Kushal Arora recently faced praise and criticism for sharing his personal journey to success.
Arora, who claims to earn more than $500,000 a year, set out to unknown (formerly Twitter) to reflect on the sacrifices he made while others his age enjoyed a more carefree lifestyle. Her post resonated with many, but also sparked conversations about the pressures young entrepreneurs face.
In a now-viral tweet, Arora shared how, while his colleagues were partying and relaxing, he was working sleepless nights, missing social events, and battling failures and rejection. He mentioned the challenges of losing work-life balance, but expressed pride in choosing that path to build the life of his dreams.
I’m 23 years old and I make over $500,000 a year.
When students my age were partying and relaxing, I:
– Spend sleepless nights working.
– There are no social events
– Deal with failures/rejections
– Losing the balance between personal and work life.But I chose that. Are you building the life of your dreams?

The publication, which received more than 163,000 views, provoked reactions from several users. While some praised him for setting an example for his generation, others were more skeptical, with one user even questioning whether he was involved in multi-level marketing (MLM).
Arora clarified that he runs a legitimate marketing company that offers services like SEO and affiliate marketing.
Nai bhai, I run a proper marketing company where we offer services like SEO, affiliate marketing, etc. I started working when I was 14, hence this tweet!

However, not all comments were supportive. A user named Mayank Sehgal expressed strong criticism of Kushal’s post. “You lived your life, they are living theirs. Not everyone dreams of earning that much, stop making it a fancy show off. You worked hard, you got your money. Live with it. Stop creating that pressure for the younger ones who do.” “They don’t earn that much, they are useless,” he wrote.
Kushal replied, “I am just sharing my experience of retiring my parents when I was just 19, if that creates any pressure on the youth, they can happily mute my content. But my target audience is the youth who are looking for motivation.”
