I am a young and charismatic entrepreneur with deep experience in the FMCG retail and food (HoReCa) sectors. My entrepreneurial journey began with my first startup, "11th Hour", a 24x7 retail and food store. After running the business successfully for nearly two years and making it profitable, I had to stop operations due to legal issues related to the land.Building on the insights and knowledge I gained from "11th Hour", I launched "Kart & Kitchen", an FMCG retail and food consulting company. My own experiences and learnings cost me a lot of time and money, and I didn’t want others to go through the same costly mistakes. That’s why I started "Kart & Kitchen" — to help businesses in these industries avoid common pitfalls and scale more effectively.Following "Kart & Kitchen", I spent three years working with my college's incubation cell - "E.R.I.C", where I channeled my experiences into supporting student founders. As President of the incubation cell, I incubated four startups and organized the college’s first-ever startup networking event, bringing together over 10 student startup founders. I also invited angel investors, VCs, mentors, and seasoned entrepreneurs to guide and network with these founders.Currently, I’m the Business Head at "StartupNews.fyi", where I manage all events and partnerships. I organize events from start to finish, building connections with key ecosystem enablers such as investors, incubators, and accelerators. My goal is to create an environment that fosters growth, collaboration, and networking opportunities for startups, founders, and ecosystem enablers. Additionally, I collaborate with other event organizers to amplify their events and ensure they reach the right audience, providing maximum value both to the organizers and to people in the ecosystem who might benefit from attending these events. In addition to this, I help startups raise funds by connecting them with the right investors, creating crucial connections that drive growth within the startup ecosystem.Feel free to connect with me! +91-9582468506
