I make about 275k, with no quota and very little work to do, I just mange some client relationships with a dew buyers of enterprise software at my 2 accounts. In fact, i have had less than 5 meetings this month. I feel bored and unchallenged but am making decent $. Should I challenge myself and look for a new role?

Hey guys,
I am planning to startup. Planning to go very big.
The fundamental reason for any business to start is to earn profits if it's not a non-profit org. But, what if the business is owned by the consumers itself. And consumers become shareholders of the business.
1) People fund the business
2) People buy products from it
3) People share profits if there are some.
Goal of such business:
1) Not for profits
2) Increase employment in country
3) Make in India boost
