Success Story: From Product Manager to Co-Founding Terra.do

Aditya Priyadarshi left his Product Manager role to co-found the worlds leading Climate Education platform, Terra.do

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?


I co-founded one of the world's leading climate education platforms, Terra.do

WHAT WERE YOU DOING?

I was a product manager with India's largest OTA

WHY DID YOU CHANGE?


Lack of purpose. I wanted to contribute my time towards areas I really care about//the sole purpose of existence can't just be paying bills

HOW DID YOU GO ABOUT MAKING THE SHIFT?

Mot sure how I can answer this in like 200 words!! But its very much unchartered territory, so relying more on first principles as opposed to set norms or "best-practises" is essential

There are far more people in the world who care about climate change than you often realize, and taking the first step is often the most difficult
— Aditya Priyadarshi - Terra.do cofounder

WHAT RESOURCES WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?

  • Terra.do :)

  • Check our Project Drawdown

  • Rest really depends on which part of this space you are more keen on

WHAT WORDS OF ADVICE WOULD YOU OFFER TO THOSE LOOKING TO MAKE A TRANSITION THEMSELVES?

The community is extremely supporting so I highly encourage people to pro-actively reach out
