I Bought Old Laptops On ebay and Started My Company
Back in 2014, whenever new employees joined in my company, I bought old laptops on ebay at the cost of 18k. The situation was such that, I was unable to afford a new laptop. I rather bought 3 old laptops at the cost of 1 new laptop.
Then, after 6 months of using the old laptop, employees complained saying, no proper battery back up, the laptop is getting over heated, it is slow or not getting charged properly — several such complaints…
I always encouraged them saying, ‘’You may not have the opportunity to work on a new laptop. But, you have the opportunity to work on new technology. Than feeling bad about what you do not have, you can feel proud about what you are learning.
However, I have noted your complaints and all these are temporary. One day things are definitely going to change.’’

Now, we have surpassed that struggling stage.
In the year 2021, all my core team members are using MAC.
Last week, 4 new employees got joined to Piccosoft. I ordered brand new laptops for them. When those laptops got delivered and once I saw them, I remembered this story.
We do face many struggles and none of these struggles are permanent. Things always change for good and this is what I realize.
