Shashwat Agrawal — CEO

I graduated from PESIT college of engineering, Bangalore. I always had immense love for food and has always been fond of cooking. During my college days, I missed my home made food and so I ended up cooking a lot at my apartment. It was during those days when I realised the importance of proper nutrition and nourishment, and how in our fast paced life we lose the touch of it, so I thought why not do something which can be of some help to people!! So we came with this idea of a cloud kitchen of serving home cooked meals with the finest ingredients and cooking methods right at the door step to provide satisfaction from both heart and soul. The desire to make others happy is a primary motivator. I love seeing people smile when they eat something. We are not just selling products to consumers, but also making human connections and enriching lives. But anyone can start a food business with full planning and passion, but getting luck in an already crowded market is a difficult thing nowadays. The major challenges are food development process, lack of structure, food quality, manpower, funding and technology. We can expect many bumps and catastrophes along the road into the unknown. More than branding, marketing, ingredients, or great package design, your personal resilience will be the biggest driver of your success. It all starts with a focus on GENEROSITY & BEING SELFLESS. It is never about what we can gain, but what we can give and keep giving. In first lockdown when everything was shut many people were dependent upon us for food. We were delighted to serve them every single day. We were just four of us in the kitchen, Chef (used to cook dishes), Helper (used to chop vegetables and keep it ready), Roti Guy (used to make breads) and Myself who did door to door delivery in my second hand scooty which I luckily bought a day before the first lockdown. What I love most about being an entrepreneur is that you are self-employed. You create every day. No one tells you what to work on. No one cares if you punched in or when. No one cares about the depth of your in-box, the location of your parking space, or the number of meetings you are scheduled to attend. How hard you work is as irrelevant as how effective you are at walking your dog. Only concrete results matter; tireless effort is just the stuff you do to get there.
