After living in London and working at Meta for four years, I’ve relocated back to India earlier this month to reunite with my wife and daughter, who moved back about a year ago.
There was a lot of contemplation after our third year in London about whether we should settle down there. But considering our personal circumstances and preferences, we ultimately decided to move back, as we didn’t see ourselves settling down there in the long run.
As I leave London, I carry with me many wonderful memories — both personal and professional. It was the first time I had lived and worked outside India, and exploring the city and country with my wife and young daughter was a lot of fun.
Professionally, I had the opportunity to work with some of the best engineers and cross-functional partners. The learnings — from both technical and product perspectives — were invaluable, and I’m sure they’ll continue to shape my journey ahead.
Now comes the big question: What’s next?
I’m planning to take a break from full-time work and instead explore freelancing, while also upskilling and experimenting with indie hacking — something I’ve been keen to try for a while. I’m also open to partnering on the right idea if it comes along. The plan is to explore this path over the next few months and then decide on the next steps.
Wishing myself the best in this new phase! ?
