A pivot is change in strategy without change in vision.
Real lessons from a founder who left a 7-figure META role, built a startup through COVID, faced failure—and came out with a playbook.
Founder & CEO, Travel Buddy · Author · Pivot Coach
I'm not a professor writing about pivots. I'm a founder who walked away from a 7-figure role at Facebook (Meta), launched Travel Buddy during COVID, grew it to 5M+ users, survived a rogue co-founder, built sustainable revenue—and came out the other side with a framework that works.
My journey spans 20 years in corporate life—mechanical engineer, copywriter dreamer, digital marketer, startup founder. Every chapter was a pivot. This book is that journey distilled into a practical manual for builders navigating uncertainty.
A pivot is change in strategy without change in vision.

The Art & Science Of Pivoting is a powerful, practical and very insightful guide for anyone navigating change in their career, startup or personal life.
From the very first chapter, the author's journey from a high-growth role at Facebook to building Travel Buddy through Covid and near-failure feels honest yet incredibly inspiring. He breaks down "pivoting" from a vague buzzword into a clear, structured process — without ever sounding theoretical or preachy. The tone is conversational, the examples are real, and you can sense that every insight has been forged on the ground, not in a conference room.
The sections on building a sustainable, negative-burn business model and assembling a team with a shared vision are particularly useful for founders and operators in today's funding-tight environment.
Every Sunday, Saurav breaks down one pivot concept live — with Q&A, real case studies, and no fluff. Free to attend. Just show up.
