Why This Blog?
Through this platform, I aim to share insights about “JOB PROVIDER not JOB SEEKER”, document my learning, and connect with like-minded people.
Job Provider not Job Seeker
The difference between a job seeker and a job provider isn’t about luck or privilege—it's about perspective.
Many believe that becoming a job provider requires a big idea, a lot of money, or an entrepreneurial gene. But the truth is, it starts with a shift in how you see opportunities.
Smart Work Isn’t a Shortcut
There’s a common belief that smart work is better than hard work. But here’s the catch — smart work isn’t possible without hard work first. You need to put in the effort to learn to fail and to figure out how things actually work before you can do them efficiently. The same goes for moving from being a job seeker to a job provider.
The Hidden Patterns Behind Success
To understand what separates those who create jobs from those who seek them, let’s look at real numbers:
Most Businesses Don’t Survive:
According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, 100 million businesses are launched every year, but only a few last beyond five years. The difference? Problem-solving, not just chasing opportunities.
Experience Matters More Than Ideas:
A study by the World Economic Forum found that 70% of self-made entrepreneurs worked regular jobs before starting their ventures. Understanding how systems work helps people create better ones.
Waiting vs. Creating:
McKinsey’s research (McKinsey & Company) shows that while many job seekers hold out for the “perfect” role, startups and small businesses create 7 out of 10 new jobs. The ones who focus on solving real problems end up generating employment for others.
A Bigger Picture:
The World Health Organization (WHO) highlights that sustainable economic growth isn’t just about businesses — it’s about giving people the skills, stability, and confidence to create opportunities rather than just waiting for them.
The Thought Shift That Changes Everything
1: Flipping the Question
Instead of asking, “Where can I find a job?” ask, “What do people need that I can provide?”
The focus shifts from dependency to creating value.
Example: BoAt
Aman Gupta, co-founder of BoAt, had a pivotal moment during his time at JBL, a well-known global audio brand. After asking for a salary hike and getting a refusal, he gathered the courage to leave the company and take on the challenge of competing with industry giants. Instead of seeking another job, he flipped the question to, “What can I provide?” and identified a gap in the market for stylish, high-quality, and affordable audio products tailored to India’s youth.
Together with co-founders Gaurav Arora and Aman Gupta launched BoAt in 2016, a brand that quickly resonated with young, urban Indians looking for affordable yet trendy headphones and speakers. This decision to leave a secure job and compete in the market allowed BoAt to grow into one of the most successful audio brands in India, proving how a setback can become a stepping stone to creating opportunities and building something meaningful.
How to Start Thinking Like a Job Provider
Begin Small —
You don’t need a huge business idea. Start by solving problems around you.
Zomato: Founded in 2008 by Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah.
Zomato started as a small platform to help people find restaurant information. Initially, it was just a simple database of menus and reviews, but the founders saw an opportunity to solve a real problem — the lack of an efficient way for people to discover and order food. Today, Zomato operates in 24 countries and is valued at over $5 billion.
Learn the Basics–
Marketing, sales, and finance matter, no matter the industry.
Zomato: From the beginning, Zomato focused on building strong marketing and sales strategies. They used the power of digital marketing to grow their brand rapidly and expanded their offerings, from restaurant discovery to food delivery. In 2020, Zomato’s revenue crossed ₹2,600 crore (approx. $350 million), showcasing the importance of mastering the basics for growth.
Build Connections —
The right network opens doors and opportunities.
Zomato: In the early stages, Deepinder and Pankaj leveraged their connections to secure funding. Zomato raised its first round of funding from Sequoia Capital in 2010, which allowed it to expand operations. By 2018, they had raised another $200 million from Ant Financial to expand their reach even further. Building strong relationships helped them scale.
What’s Next? A New Way of Thinking
