Bengaluru Tech Professional Quits ₹2.5 Lakh Job to Travel India Full Time

After 11 years in the tech industry with companies like JPMorgan, Accenture, and Wipro, Bengaluru-based Apeksha Jain left her high-paying job earning around ₹2.5 lakh monthly in 2023 to travel across India full time. Motivated by a sense of disconnect and a desire for meaningful impact, she now embraces slow travel, working various gigs and living in mountain towns. Despite a significant income drop, Jain finds greater fulfillment and purpose in her new lifestyle.
