1 BEFORE WE DIVE INTO TUMMY YUMS PLEASE TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND?

I began my journey like every average high school student to find a stable career option and so I landed into pharmacy medicine. But unlike every other individual I wasn’t ready to settle for the ordinary and having realized early on that I was meant to enter the entrepreneurial world I dropped out of my course and pursued my graduation from Mithibai College followed by Masters in Business. Remembering the very first job where I earned Rs10k in 2006 I had kept my change of career choice a secret from my parents until this point. Later, the monotony of the regular 9-5 working period was jinxing my innovative side which again wasn’t to my liking I said continuing to narrate my story to Startup story. I then was attracted towards the world of the internet and started working for an IT company and was awarded by NASSCOM. However, fate wasn’t in my favour at the time and I met with an accident while I was in the middle of starting my own company. But that did not stop me from getting back up and pursuing my dreams, like I say ‘Nothing should be allowed to distract you, focus is important’ .

One of my previous clients was highly impressed by me and offered me a place as a consultant at FMC. This was my step into the food industry. Elaborating more about my work I told Startup Story that I was working with a huge quality clientele for private labeling including Wal-Mart, Spenser’s, Haldiram’s etc. My work in the food industry served as the basis of experience for me to set up my own brand later.
