From Freelancing to a Full-Time Remote Role — What Actually Changed Over Time (India)

From Freelancing to a Full-Time Remote Role — What Actually Changed Over Time (India)
Freelancing and remote jobs are often treated as the same thing — but they are not.
In this video, I share how my career evolved over nearly 20 years in India — from unstable early jobs, to freelancing during COVID, and eventually into a full-time remote role with a global company.
There was no shortcut, no overnight success, and no single turning point.
It was a slow progression shaped by interviews, failures, consistency, and responsibility.
This video is not about getting rich, quick wins, or “anyone can do this” promises.
It’s simply context — especially for non-technical, English-speaking professionals from India who are exploring remote work seriously.
What this video covers:
My early career and non-linear work experience in India
Why freelancing made sense at one stage of life
What freelancing did not provide long-term
How trust and responsibility slowly changed my role
What actually changed after becoming a remote employee
Who this video is for:
Non-technical professionals from India
Call center, customer support, operations, SaaS roles
English-speaking Indian professionals
People looking for long-term remote careers, not hype
No guarantees.
No shortcuts.
Just real experience.
