Indian Woman Shares Experience of Job Loss After Maternity Leave and Starting Own BusinessPreviousNext

An Indian woman living in Estonia shared on Instagram how losing her job after maternity leave challenged her belief in job security. She described the layoff as unexpected during a phase she considered protected and said it prompted her to reconsider her career path. Instead of seeking traditional employment, she decided to start her own business, documenting her journey through content creation or freelancing while balancing motherhood. She views this setback as an opportunity to build a career independent of others' decisions.
