My name is Fernando Pessagno, I am an Argentinian Product Designer and the founder of ResumeMaker.Online, a WYSIWYG web app that could enable even non-tech-savvy users to design an attractive resume in just minutes.
In early 2018 I was managing a small digital design studio. Life was good, but after more than 10 years of only doing client work, my passion for design wasn’t really there anymore. I could see the burnout on the horizon, so I knew I needed to do something about it.

4. Content-Whale Private Limited ($514K/year)
Vaibhav Kishnani (from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India) started Content-Whale Private Limited almost 6 years ago.
I'm Vaibhav Kishnani, an engineer but a passionate writer by profession. I established Content-Whale in 2017 when I was in my third year of engineering. Going by the maxim that quality writing is everything, Content-Whale caters to 42 different content types that form the backstory of every company’s digital presence and marketing efforts.
I started this content agency with a mere sum of Rs. 2,500. Today, we have drawn a revenue turnover of Rs. 4 Crores! In my opinion, it is not individual progress. Instead, a start-up is about connecting with the right individuals at the right time, who keep the show running ahead with their strife for perfection.

With a lot of luck and a little skill, I have helped clients achieve their goals while doing something I love every single day while growing my business 25%+ YoY for the last 5 years.
