For many Indians, a government job represents more than just a career. It embodies security, stability, and often the culmination of years of dedicated effort. Walking away from such a position is something most individuals would never even contemplate.
That is why an Instagram post by a former Delhi Police officer is capturing widespread attention online. In a video reflecting on his journey, Nishant Tomar shared how he resigned from his job in 2023, relocated to Australia despite the inherent uncertainty, and began constructing an entirely new life from scratch.
Today, he states that he is a homeowner and works as a real estate agent in Australia. However, according to him, the journey from Delhi to Adelaide was not a matter of luck. It was about taking a leap of faith when everyone around him believed he was making a mistake.
A Journey from Delhi to Australia

‘Many People Thought I Was Crazy’
Along with the video, Tomar shared a note detailing the challenges and uncertainty that accompanied the move.
“A few years ago, I took a risk that many people thought was crazy. I left a secure government job in India, moved to Australia with uncertainty about the future, started from scratch, faced challenges, built my own home, and today I'm helping other families achieve the dream of owning their first home in Australia.”
His post focuses on the experience of starting over in a new country and adapting to a completely different environment.
