Moving away from competition can get you to the top | Varun Mayya | TEDxDSC

Varun Mayya, one of the youngest entrepreneurs in India to raise venture capital funding, draws a path for all those who want to succeed. Previously having found JobSpire, and currently the CEO of Avalon Labs, Varun takes his own life as an example in the talk. He goes on to explain the same by focusing on the importance of exploring, choosing, and then obsessing about that one step that can boost your career growth. His talk revolves around his recently authored book, Pyjama Profit. He gives insights on how freelancing and mashing of industries are expected to be the future. He points out an interesting fact about competition- it goes beyond what is visible to us. Varun claims to be your unfair advantage and wants to save you from losing your job to technology. Varun Mayya is the CEO and Founder of Avalon Labs. He is one of the youngest entrepreneur in India to raise Venture Capital funding for his startup at the age of 20. He claims to be your unfair advantage. Varun is also the author of one of the bestselling books, Pyjama Profit. He works on ideas that shift paradigms.

I guess very few people like such motivational & real truthful stuff.

[@karnab5712]

I really like the fact that very few people knew him back 3years and till now
Cuz whatever knowledge he shares is basically a x factor but people don't wanna see his vids
He should be popular but the fact he isn't is great for whoever are his regular viewers

[@giridharan1434]

Intriguing insight!! 👍🏼🙏🏼
My first choice is the recommendation to get obsessed with where you wanted to go and what you wanted to gain. I would interpret that, to have a moral and healthy fear about life and career, so that it persuades us to acquire skills to position ourself in that top 1-5%

[@ananthapadmanabhanss4553]

Awesome insights Varun :) keep it going dude. The intersection of passion, skills, economic viability creates a dream path to success. rather than competition envision collaboration for a harmonious world. A theory put worth in an eloquent way. Trying something and learning in small steps. makes the pebbles become somethings special. Thanks TED talk to organize this awesome speech..
