Nishcha Shah was working as an investment banker in London till a year ago. After spending nearly ten years in the corporate world, Nishcha decided to leave her job and start YouTube. Her move proved correct and today she is a full time YouTuber and is earning four times more than her monthly salary every month.
Journey from investment banker to becoming a YouTuber
In the year 2022, Nishcha was working as an investment banker in London. Due to his hard work, he was getting around 2.56 lakh dollars as salary every year. After doing the same type of work for 9 years, Nishcha thought of doing something new. In her interview with CNBC, Nishcha said that I wanted to help others in investing, but the work I wanted to do was helping big industrialists.
In 2023, I quit my job and became a full-time YouTuber, my entire focus was on making the channel about personal finance. This bet of mine proved to be correct and between May 2023 and May 2024, I earned about Rs 8 crore from YouTube. Nishcha said that today I am earning more money than I used to earn and at the same time I am also helping people. I just do what I’m good at. There is nothing better than helping people.
had already created an emergency fund
Nishcha Shah says that before she left her job, she had already created an emergency fund of 9 months because the world of YouTube is full of uncertainty. Having this fund kept me confident and I started pursuing my passion with all my might.
Shah told that I did not take this step suddenly and had made complete preparations. Because I knew that if I wanted to walk a long distance, I would have to go with a lot of preparation. When my preparation was complete, I took it as a once in a lifetime chance and went ahead with full force.
Shah did not get overnight success on YouTube. He had to wait for 11 months to reach 1000 subscribers, but his luck changed when in September 2022, a video on his life went viral due to which he got 50 thousand subscribers and From this he earned Rs 3 lakh.
Nishcha currently makes videos on investing mainly in “Money habits that make you poor.” And there are topics like “How to invest your first thousand”. His videos get 9 to 10 million views on YouTube and he is a trusted personal finance influencer.
