About the book
‘Through this book, I hope to inspire you. I hope to make you laugh a little and I hope that you take away this, if nothing else-if I can do it, so can you.’
In August 2015, Munaf Kapadia quit his four-year-long career as a consultant at Google to pursue another venture – with his mother!
Two years down the line, as Chief Eating Officer of food tech start-up The Bohri Kitchen, he made the Forbes India 30 Under 30 list.
How I Quit Google to Sell Samosas is the story of how this adventurous entrepreneur grew a weekend Bohri food pop-up from his Cuffe Parade home into an F&B start-up with a Rs 4 crore turnover. A man of many ideas, Munaf regales readers with tales of his big hits-citywide delivery kitchens, catering for Bollywood’s biggest celebrities and winning a reality show-and the few misses.
Packed with ‘samosa gyan’ gathered along the way, How I Quit Google … inspires you to dream big (even in a pandemic!) and find the courage to keep moving. Whether you succeed or fail.
