Vegan Heat is a cloud kitchen brand dedicated to providing plant-based culinary experiences through Zomato, Swiggy and its own website. As a Founder/CEO, I took on a multi-faceted role encompassing operations, marketing, finance and team management.

Conducted regular workshops and community outreach programs to raise awareness about veganism and sustainability. Participated in events, hosted stalls, and helped celebrate and nourish guests with our nutritional and delicious food.
