Priya Bajaj and Darshan Shah in New York City
Priya Bajaj and Darshan Shah are in their thirties. They love American hustle culture and enjoy building their careers in and outside their 9-5.
  • Priya Bajaj and Darshan Shah left India to move to the US a few years ago.
  • Despite some initial adjustments, they say corporate America provided a work-life balance they didn't have before.
  • The corporate lifestyle in the US gave them the time to build their own platform and create content.

When Priya Bajaj received an offer to transfer from Google in India to the US, she thought she would try it out for six months — she didn't expect to be here seven years later.

"I had no reason to move here because my whole family, everyone was back in India," Bajaj said. "And I was also dating him," she said about her now-husband.
