Engineer Leaves Oracle IT Job to Start Successful Tourism Business in Kolkata
Soham Chakraborty, a chemical engineering graduate, left his stable IT job at Oracle in Bengaluru after three years, feeling disconnected from the industry.

Encouraged by his father, Chakraborty pursued a new path in tourism, eventually founding a heritage walk business that now earns him significantly more than his previous IT salary.
