On this bonus episode, we continue our previous conversation with Dr. Ritesh Malik (Episode 4), a doctor from India who left medicine behind to pursue entrepreneurship... and became a millionaire in his 30s.

Ritesh realized he didn't feel fulfilled as a doctor, took a huge leap, and shifted careers. In 2015, he founded Innov8 Coworking, a startup that just four years later, was acquired by Softbank-backed OYO, an Indian multinational hospitality chain. Today, Innov8 is a significant coworking player across India – offering flexible offices in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru.

As a young leader in India’s digital startup ecosystem, Ritesh now plays an active role in backing over 125 startups, and investing in public equities and real estate. In this extension of our original conversation, we talk about how he chooses to invest his money, his tips on how to become successful, and what mission drives him today.
