Khyati Thakur left 75L job, then Fridayy AI lost customers
Khyati Thakur left her ₹75 lakh tech job to chase her dream and launch Fridayy AI.
But things got tough: her first product was wiped out by rapidly evolving AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI, losing all customers in just a month.
Fridayy AI helps small businesses
Instead of giving up, Thakur spent months rethinking and rebuilding.
Now, Fridayy AI helps small businesses set up online stores, organize products, and create marketing content using AI.
She shared her honest journey on LinkedIn, earning respect for her resilience and openness about how hard entrepreneurship can be.

Thakur admits building a startup takes "insane, almost delusional belief," but she's grateful for the experience, even when things didn't go as planned.
Many online praised her transparency, saying that setbacks often teach more than early wins.
