A Delhi-based woman has shared how her monthly income changed dramatically after moving from a private-sector job to government employment and taking up content creation as a side hustle.
Mansi recently posted a video on Instagram detailing her earnings for August. According to her post, she earned a total of Rs 1.56 lakh during the month through her full-time government job and paid brand collaborations on social media.
Mansi Earned Rs 90,000 From Government Job
Mansi revealed that Rs 90,000 of her August earnings came from her full-time government job. She has not publicly disclosed the exact nature of her government position.
She said the government salary marked a substantial change from what she earned earlier in her career. While working in the private sector, Mansi said she took home around Rs 22,000 per month despite handling what she described as a heavy workload.
Her current salary represents a significant increase compared with that earlier income.
Content Creation Added Another Rs 66,000
Alongside her job, Mansi has built a part-time career as a content creator. She said this brought in an additional Rs 66,000 during August.
The creator revealed that she collaborated with five brands during the month, including Pears, Plush and Inde Wild. According to her, individual brand deals paid between Rs 9,000 and Rs 15,000, collectively taking her content-creation income to Rs 66,000.
This brought her reported August earnings to:
| Income Source | August Earnings |
|---|---|
| Government job | Rs 90,000 |
| Content creation | Rs 66,000 |
| Total | Rs 1.56 lakh |
Mansi has clarified that content creation remains a part-time pursuit alongside her full-time employment.
‘I’ve Come a Long Way,’ Says Mansi
Reflecting on her career journey, Mansi said the difference between her earlier private-sector salary and her present income has made her realise how far she has progressed.
“I used to work in a private job where I earned ₹22K in hand while handling a huge workload. Looking back, I realise I’ve come a long way, and this is just the beginning,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram post.
She added that she wants to continue working hard and building on her progress.
“I want to keep working hard, keep growing, and do so much better in the years ahead. Thank you for being part of this journey. Send some motivation my way, and let’s grow together,” Mansi wrote.
Social Media Users React to Her Income Journey
The post attracted considerable attention, with several users commenting on the contrast between Mansi’s earlier salary and her current reported monthly earnings.
“Wowww,” one user commented.
Another follower wrote, “Nice, I’m watching ur videos from 2022.”
Her combination of a government job and paid content creation also prompted questions about whether government employees can legally earn money through social media collaborations.
One user asked in Hindi, “Govt job ke sath income from content creation allow hai?” Mansi responded, “Yes.”
However, rules governing outside employment, commercial activities and monetised content can vary depending on the applicable government service rules, department and nature of the activity. Mansi’s response reflects her own situation and should not be taken as a blanket rule applicable to every government employee.
