Avnish Anand, who served as Co-founder and Managing Director of CaratLane, has quit the company.
“I have an important life update to share. After more than 13 years ( across two stints ), my life as a CaratLaner has come to an end,” Anand wrote in a LinkedIn post.
Citing the reasons for his decision to move on, he wrote, “There are two reasons for my decision. One, is to reprioritise things in life. At the risk of sounding controversial, building a business takes a lot of sacrifice and puts work life balance on the back burner. Given how everything turned out, it was totally worth it though. But things change in life and so do our priorities. Going forward, I am aiming for a lot more balance.
The other reason is regret minimisation. There are lots of things that I have always wanted to do. I want to start now and not leave it for when it’s already too late.”
“As of now, I don’t know what I will do work wise. I am going to try a few things and take some time to figure out my future. I am certain though that I will work in the startup ecosystem and try and help build more CaratLanes. In what capacity is what I am figuring out. Hopefully I will pursue all the other interests that I have. People who know me know what I am talking about,” he added.
Anand joined CaratLane in June 2015 as Head of Product, Digital Marketing, Customer Exp, Growth, Online Sales, International Business.
