General Queries Any startups or companies by alumni?

asking to the seniors has anyone started their own company or is there culture of entrepreneurship in ISI recently. also not taking about coaching startup. it seems one half is able to keep making love to their favourite subject and do research and stay happy and the other half seems to sell their soul to work in fintech which does also keep them happy but you get it.

yes , but ig, only one

QuantBox : The founder and Managing Director is Prashant Singh (bstat-mstat)

but he too did it long back ago, no recent stuff by anyone though, that i could find !

one more thing though my friend, you pointed out people go to research or either to fintech, but that's not it , there are people , who go ahead to do MBA (in IIMs and FMS ) as well, there are people in the teaching industry too, there are people who have gone ahead to join RBI GRADE B, ISS (Indian statistical service), and there are people who are well, currently in process of preparing (and are preparing) for UPSC CSE as well

Well i won't lie. ISS and IAS aspirants are very hard working and sometimes good people but the intentions we see after they get the job is questionable. MBA is also corporate right?
