What you didn't know about engineering...
My base loc is Bengaluru, but currently I am not mandatorily required to work from office, and have been working from home since I joined Deloitte in July. Should I talk to my manager and go back to my hometown Kolkata and work from there? Staying in PG all day and working from here is not quite feasible for me. Suggest pls. Deloitte India

Retail US domestic only (at this time)
1. Shipping year round: temperature sensitive/cost prohibitive to package for year round shipping in winter months
2. Capital: unwilling to give up equity, operating with small loans atm
3. Price fluctuations/criticism: anti capitalist sentiments has entered the chat in my niche this year.

My product is a living thing, it is capable of reproducing itself.
Torn between:
A. continuing multiplying to build stock to “crash” the market in late 2022/2023 and appease price criticism.
B. becoming a wholesaler to customer facing competitors (who will still keep prices moderately for consumers, but results in SIGNIFICANTLY less time spent on the biz)
C. start making money now (still have student debt, would be nice to not 😉)
1. Generating the initial capital needed for initial investment in merchandise
2. Finding the right manufacturer for the product (both time, money, and accessibility)
3. Funding ways to have the business reach beyond your close circle of friends and family while trying to avoid spending large amounts of money on advertisements
