He's been around for the past 6 years, I think it's in large part to diversifying his product offerings while maintaining high quality.

He has his own thoughtfully edited product line including other rare imported products. To be fair i've ordered products from him. instagram.com/ianpurkayastha/

Caught three felonies in July. Figured it was about time to throw the towel in besides i have my whole life still and i don't want to spend it in prison. I started off at 14 selling half ounces. By 19 i was selling a pound+ a week every week, every month, year round. I just turned 21 in June so i have/had been selling for 7 years. Good thing is i finally feel like ive grown up enough to leave it behind.

[@DH-br9kq]

At the time i was paying $5k every week for one shipment of about 900 "units". I would charge a flat rate of $10 a unit and it would take me just about ten days to finish one shipment. So if you do the math it was very profitable and very fun. But you know, if you play with fire eventually you'll get burned.

Mushroom foraging used to scare the shit out of me. We had a family near where I lived that died from eating the wrong mushrooms. But when I was in the girls scouts, they taught us about safe and edible mushrooms in Maryland. It’s actually very easy to tell even for mushrooms that look fairly identical to dangerous ones, if you know the warning signs. Also, they sell cheap mushroom growing kits on amazon which are ALWAYS super fun. We had these mushrooms growing in the lot next to my parents house and one night this man pulls up and sheepishly asks if they were cultivating them. When my dad said no, he asked if he could take them. My dad was a bit worried to agree as he wasn’t sure if they were poisonous. This guy leaves, comes back with two onions, and goes through all the mushrooms. Each one that was bad, he’d put a piece of onion on top of it and some onion around the base and said it’d take care of it. Sure enough the next day these mushrooms were black and rotting. They haven’t had any come back. Our neighborhood thinks bunnies are spreading the fungi somehow in their poop maybe because they always grow where the bunnies hang out. Overall mushrooms are pretty fascinating. And truffles are so pretty cool. I’d love to one day be able to forage for them. I have a friend who, I believe, uses basset hounds and trained pigs to find them in their country.

[@reversed24]

self employed , self paid , he's a BOSS !

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

Correction, employed by rich daddy, paid by rich daddy.

[@TheJarjarblinky]

+Shini shut the fuck up lmao. are you jealous?

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

Guavacadoo Of having an overbearing father whom my entire life revolve and relies upon. Not jealous at all that doesn't sound like a very joyful way to live at all. Bad enough being indebted to a bank, being indebted to your own father would be a nightmare.

[@TheJarjarblinky]

Shini What's wrong with having a parent help start off your business? Isn't that what parents are for, to help their children? Besides, his father only funded partially in the beginning, now this guy is hustling all by himself and he rightfully got himself to where he is. Look at his interview with Huffington Post. He was using his bike in the beginning, he has commitment.

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

***** Of what? Not having any independence?

[@Chief44]

cool, a true entrepreneur!

[@zdelfyxdelf5009]

Hi

[@PRESTIEGED117]

ya.... like anyone who knows about mushrooms can just get into the ny truffle dealing business. What I really want to know is how much capital it took to start and how you make connections to truffle sources.

[@popcorny11]

+Antipater Precisely.. this just shows the day to day of a business that has extremely high barriers of entry, especially for his specific choice of market. The main point is the initial start up and its current balance sheets. He must have had very, very strong family related connections and super long term supply chain contacts prior to starting this niche service.

[@paul1548]

I respect the hustle honestly, but yeh I have a lot of questions. You don't go from foraging and growing to be able to sell to NY's best restaurants without some sort of backing + connections. Especially with the produce he has.

[@KraziAzian]

I have never had truffles before.. I find it amazing that a fungus that grows off the root of a tree sells for almost a grand

[@Jimmison007]

Gold chain, broken windscreen. Priorities.

[@KnightofAntiquity]

Bitch for all you know the chain was given to him by his mother. He just turned 21

[@Jimmison007]

Or maybe it wasn't

[@lukegazda2395]

Hey twitch what upp

[@Manu-fx7gu]

broken windscreen makes the van unattractive to rob

[@unscriptedinc7083]

I can really watch this for hours. Do more of this.

[@eusoff3]

This was extremely satisfying to watch

[@hashimiyazib]

That makes no fucking sense. It's the life of a dude who sells wild food.

[@ramseyg631]

this is tight. i want to hear some numbers though

[@noneanon2672]

haha I doubt it did you see the gold chain he had hanging on his rearview mirror probably costs 10 grand

[@shanebryant6478]

i read he was making a lot think about how much truffle he moves like nova said a tiny truffle can be worth a few hundred and he sold one dude 1500g and thats ONE store ONE DAY it adds up fast af im sure he makes a healthy living

[@ayylmao8562]

mr g He was on planet money, he made 6 million last year, not that crazy since he lives in NY.

[@helenvoss]

My guy drives with his knees while reading invoices lmao

[@I20-w4v]

Rae M lol

[@Chingster22]

yo, this guy is my hero. he is my age; owns a [very] successful business doing what he truly is passionate about, and i'm here at school spending way to much money

[@nikkosisowath4002]

Hes a pretty chill guy, but school is good as well, educations always great! Everyone has their own time to shine!

[@Chingster22]

Nikko Sisowath yeah man, true to that!

[@StrangerRealityFilms]

such a young passionate entrepreneur doing his thing. inspirational. Im 23 now, fucken wish i was as persistent as he is

[@zachleary108]

I know this video is old now, but its wild how young Ian was when he started his business. Talk about finding a niche! Good for him. Love that the business is currently thriving online.

[@HOLYPEPSI]

Proof right here that Its possible to make a business.

[@ryanschaff123]

+HOLYPEPSI You say that like there needs to be proof? Thousands of small business's are started every day.

[@HOLYPEPSI]

Well people bitch about minimum wage and how its impossible to succeed in society.

[@GoodAtSpeling]

+HOLYPEPSI Starting a company isn't cheap or easy and it's rare to succeed. Most do not. Notice I said it's RARE to succeed, not difficult, because working hard as hell certainly doesn't ensure you'll succeed.

[@HOLYPEPSI]

It's actually very easy to succeed as a company of your item isn't trash.

[@GoodAtSpeling]

HOLYPEPSI No it's not. It can take anywhere from 6 months to 5 years for a company to really take off, and most people don't have the financial stability to survive that long off of the little money it can bring in. Some business owners even go a few years without a salary of any kind. Hell, I know business owners who have great products/services but they work 2 jobs on top of running their company to keep the thing afloat. It's not easy whatsoever unless you already have the money to keep it going or you get lucky. You have to make sacrifices, you have to work your ass off, and even then, you're not guaranteed to succeed. 8 out of 10 businesses flop. And then, even when you're successful, you'll have hundreds of thousands (maybe even more) of dollars in debt to pay off.

[@burntcaramel164]

how the fuck is he able to drive and look at the paper orders at the same time

[@askjrvbjkrfbvhjbdjf]

dude wasnt even looking at the road though

[@craigistheman101]

NYC traffic is slow

[@bencarter6263]

The guy is so switched on its scary! Knows the chefs by name, knows where his product is and knows what it is Over filling the van is a veterans trick! . For 21 the guys winning at life!

[@asAbsolute]

It's great to see young entrepreneurship. I like how he's chill, but professional too. (I'm 19)

[@vinceg5637]

In my high school they don't sell gatorade so i buy it cheap at the store and the i bring it to school and sell it for a good price, last week i made 50 buck, easy money.

[@princediop8190]

Smart.

[@Brianab3ar]

at our school we only get healthy snack options so kids make lots of money selling regular snacks

[@vinceg5637]

And clients

[@notimefojibbajabba]

When i got kicked out of school i went to an alternative highschool. you were allowed to have Cigarettes because if they enforced it alot of people would get in trouble but you couldnt smoke them inside. I used to sell them for 1$ a piece all day. Could turn a 5$ pack into 20$ I was making 100$ a day sometimes it was insane. People really like themselves a cigarette

[@slime4422]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's illegal, actually. Products sold in stores are almost always not for resale.

[@qx7392]

I'm a bit late but can you do "Day with the Dealer: Cocaine"?

[@grizzly4127]

You could probably sell those damn eyebrows for 250 a gram

[@Muz710]

Lmao those eyebrows really throwing me off

[@deadfr0g]

He would sell both of them and make 500 dollars.

[@MarksTournaments]

Holy shit didn’t even realize that

[@VadimkaMr]

this guy works like a horse.. am sure he will be successful

[@Nintendoom64]

+VadimkaMr ...He already is successful, dude.

[@MrBunnystein]

I'm wondering how much he makes for his work

[@faster770301]

damm he's a machine...

[@VadimkaMr]

sofullofpiss hahahahha u sir are a genius

[@Adam-ux6bh]

He dead ass say hi to them and said “mother fuckers I hate them”

[@alexsantos3100]

Respect to this young man he is a true boss, he ain't like his peers his age that are in debt because of university and not having a mediocre life and mediocre wage. People that are jealous of this young man clearly don't have vision to progress they rather stay comfortable taking orders from their prick of a boss and being debt buying liabilities.

[@paulramos406]

Yeah thanks to his dad.Ha!

[@alexsantos3100]

paul ramos Well his dad did well, at least he does not to live a lame average life.

[@qohi]

damn, imagine how busy he is on the holiday... everyday actually, I could not imagine myself driving all day doing that. mad respect for this man. lol

[@Chedda3000music]

Def respect the hustle. But the driving shouldn't be as bad, as I assume he deals to only the higher end restaurants which are usually based in just Manhattan.

[@dr.s.p.]

Extreme hard work and dedication is paying off. My hat is off to you. Good luck for your continued growth.

[@gwarfanatik]
