As a doctor and MBA, I am struggling to find strong technical individuals. My hypothesis is that many highly skilled technical professionals out there lack business expertise and I hope to connect with them here. I'm willing to work 100 hours a week, I need hard but exciting work. I honestly don't care about work-life balance, and I need your help in finding this ideal team/company. I'm very interested in working with a group of super-ambitious folks trying to solve a really important problem. I don't care about the pay. I don't care about how long I have to work. I don't care if I have to eat and sleep in the office; I'll do it. What do I bring to the table? 1) My core competency is "Sales". I can sell to our customers, investors, or partners once I believe in the product. 2) I have a knack for reaching out to people whom I don't know, striking up a conversation, and establishing a connection. We could leverage this to help our business and negotiate favourable terms to my company. What's my past track record? I have single-handedly sold products and services worth over 1.2 crore rupees in India and the USA. The products sold ranged from simple customized gifts and food menu software to complex high-ticket cosmetic treatments. I entered medical college with a 100% Government Scholarship and performed well on the academic front as well. What am I looking for in the company/team? A team that is intelligent, hard-working, and has a sense of urgency to solve the problem. I'll be glad if they can pay well; if not, no problem. I'm willing to work for equity and minimal pay to cover basics. I'm tilted toward B2B companies but happy to talk to B2C teams as well if the model makes sense to me. The culture should be defined by the sense of mission to solve the problem and not by swanky furniture or remote work policies. Companies/teams where I will not work: I do not want to work in slow places where people are okay with the slow growth of the company. No generic idea companies that are trying to just catch on to trends like D2C or Consumer Fintech or some good-to-have health tech businesses. Strictly work from office; no work from home policy companies. If you read this post till the end, thank you very much. If you are building something or know someone who is building something and would like to talk to me, please do connect. I'm more than happy to talk and see if it works out.

Through this post, I wish to end up in a team like the PayPal mafia of the 2000s and do extraordinary things. It's borderline delusional but worth a shot
Why not start something of your own?
100% Government scholarship? Isn't that a waste of government funds by doing sales instead of being a doctor in India?
