Engineer Earning 100 Thousand Rupees in Village Considers Moving to City Due to Boredom

The career of a technical specialist went through many difficulties, including losing his first job and disappointment over low salary, but he managed to achieve significant growth by receiving a job offer in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with an annual package of about 15 million rupees.

This professional shared his experience, emphasizing that lack of success at the beginning of the journey is not an obstacle to further career growth. He started his career with an annual salary of 2.9 lakh rupees, but thanks to constant efforts, learning new technologies, and waiting for the right moment, he reached impressive heights.

In his post published on the social platform Reddit, the specialist recounted that he started working at L&T Infotech as a manual tester. He had to lose this job because he failed to pass the company's necessary internal exams. At that time, his annual income was about 2.9 lakh rupees. However, he did not give up; following a friend's advice, he applied to IBM and got a job there approximately 15 days later.

At IBM, he was assigned tasks related to JD Edwards, but his real interest was in Big Data. He began studying this field independently, but due to a lack of experience, he could not get into the desired projects. Nevertheless, after many attempts, in May 2020, he managed to get the opportunity to work on a big data project.

He noted that to master new responsibilities and understand the work, he had to work 14–15 hours daily. Despite these efforts, his annual salary remained around 3.78 lakh rupees until January 2022. Since the salary increase was not substantial, he began looking for new career and financial opportunities in other companies, which subsequently led to an increase in his income.

According to the report, he then joined Airbus, where his annual package was about 23 lakh rupees, plus he received a signing bonus of 5 lakh rupees. There, he worked with Palantir Foundry and participated in major projects. However, he experienced disappointment due to receiving a low performance rating after some time, as he stated that he contributed to the projects but did not receive the expected recognition.

After that, he started applying for other vacancies again. The specialist reported that during this period, he received about 15 offers and chose a job at Thoughtworks with an annual package of 48 lakh rupees. Approximately two months later, he received another offer from another organization—62 lakh rupees per year plus a 5 lakh rupee signing bonus. In this last case, he was also given the option to work from home.

After almost 9.5 years of career ups and downs, this technical specialist was presented with the opportunity to work with a consulting firm in the UAE. According to the report, the annual package associated with this opportunity is estimated at about 15 million rupees. However, for him, this decision is driven not only by the desire to earn more money; he also considers gaining international work experience, facing new challenges, and professional development important.

Regardless of the season, plastic water tanks are needed everywhere. If you plan to start a business manufacturing such tanks, questions may arise regarding necessary costs, equipment, and regulatory requirements. The following discusses the essential elements for launching a water tank manufacturing business and cost calculations.

Various components are required for water tank production. Launching a production unit for plastic tanks involves expenses for equipment, molds, raw materials, premises, electricity, and personnel. According to an old report by the MSME Development Institute in Trishur, total capital investments to set up a plastic reservoir production unit could have been around 53.04 lakh rupees. This amount included fixed investments of approximately 24.16 lakh rupees and working capital for three months of about 28.87 lakh rupees. However, it should be noted that this report is outdated, and when creating a new project budget, current prices for equipment, raw materials, rent, electricity, and salaries must be considered.

Rotational molding, or rotomolding, is used in the manufacturing of plastic tanks. Additionally, depending on the tank size, molds, raw material preparation equipment, and quality control systems may be required. According to various media sources, the cost of one machine for rotomolding water tanks can be around 7 lakh rupees or more, while a two-arm biaxial machine can cost up to 18 lakh rupees, with more powerful machines costing more.

Plastic resins, such as polyethylene, are typically used to manufacture plastic tanks. The demand for raw materials varies depending on the volume, weight, and design of the tank. A masterbatch for coloring and other production-related materials are also necessary. The production unit requires a sufficiently spacious premises to accommodate equipment, store raw materials, and safely warehouse finished products. When choosing a rented premises, the monthly rent payment and electricity costs must be factored into the budget.

If you do not have enough capital to open a large factory, you can consider the option of dealership or resale of water tanks. In this model, tanks are purchased from an existing company and then sold to customers, equipment stores, plumbers, builders, or other participants in the construction industry. This approach eliminates the need to install production equipment but requires funds for initial inventory, rent for a shop or warehouse, transportation, and adherence to distributor terms. The investment size will depend on the company, region, inventory volume, and business scale, so an exact figure cannot be established without knowing supplier prices and dealership terms.

The cost of tanks varies depending on their volume: for a 500-liter tank, the price ranges from 6,000 to 12,000 rupees and above; for 1000 liters—approximately from 7,000 to 17,000 rupees and above; and for 2000 liters—from 14,000 to 25,000 rupees and above.
