As a young adult I was fascinated by the growing startup ecosystem in Silicon Valley and in India. My curiosity led me to take the transition from an IT job to start an own company into an unorganized and highly demanding sector of Food and Entertainment centered around building a community for food Trucks in India. After completion of my Bachelors of Technology in Information Technology from GITAM University I entered the world of IT at Tata Consultancy Services Ltd in 2015. After working for close to 3 years I moved out to pursue my passion. During this phase, I along with my friends from college and other recruits went on to create a company on our own called “FEAST AT TRCUKS LLP”, with a two-pronged vision to create an ecosystem for food trucks in India and to commercialize the food and events space. Come 2020, COVID 19 created havoc across various communities, industries and countries around the world. It was an unorganized territory for a lot of people during the testing times. Once the lockdown started to be lifted, it was a slow climb back towards normalcy for various segments of the society. My other interests include Investments and capital markets. I am a part time trader of Bank Nifty Index of NSE and right now I am researching on an early-stage idea with regards to cryptos and NFT’s. Outside of work, of late I have been an ardent follower of the concept of mindfulness- which helps to turn your brain ON to experience the moment on a deeper level, rather than turning it OFF to escape reality. It has helped me to tackle and withstand some of the most difficult phases in both my personal and professional life. I actively listen to podcasts and read books, two of my favorite podcasts are “The Mindvalley Podcast with Vishen” and “Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu”.
