Quick Takes

How did you balance study stress? Any tips?

When managing study stress, I’ve always prioritized focusing solely on preparation without fixating on the outcome or rankings. By focusing my energy on the task at hand rather than worrying about results, I’ve found it easier to achieve success.

Favorited stress-relief activities?

I feel most at ease at home, and spending time with friends is a great stress reliever. I also enjoy hitting the badminton court or the gym to unwind.

Top pastime or hobby?

As a true hodophile, I delight in journeying across the globe, immersing myself in diverse cultures, and indulging in the flavours of each unique cuisine.

Most memorable educational experience?

My time at the engineering school in Hyderabad was like a rollercoaster of fun and craziness! While everyone else was sitting in class, I was on my adventure, skipping lectures and dodging exams left and right. Yep, I was a bit of a rebel! Despite all that, I finished my degree in the usual four years. It was a time of confusion and not knowing where I was headed, but that’s part of the journey, right? And guess what? It all clicked into place once I had that engineering degree. Who knew chaos could be so enlightening?

Who inspires you the most?

My father, who started as a Voltas employee, built multiple successful businesses, teaching me the importance of hard work and sincerity and their role in success. Also, my childhood friend and co-founder, Adwik, has been a constant source of inspiration with his early achievements and unwavering motivation over our decade-long friendship.

From Dam to Dish: How Dam Good Fish Is Transforming India’s Seafood Industry

With rising awareness around clean eating and traceable food sources, Dam Good Fish is rethinking how fresh seafood reaches urban consumers. Co-founders Shobhit Gaur and Shailesh Patel share how their unlikely partnership, built on complementary strengths in branding and aquaculture, led to a venture that prioritises natural sourcing, transparency, and freshness in India’s rapidly growing seafood market. Tell us a little about yourselves, your backgrounds, and personalities. Shobhit Gaur (Co-Founder & CEO):With a Master’s in Business Management and several years as National Head at a leading advertising agency, my career has always combined creativity with strategy. I see myself as a big-picture thinker who enjoys building disruptive ideas in traditionally unorganised markets. I’m naturally outgoing and enjoy exploring new concepts, whether in business or food culture. When I’m not working, I’m usually tracking food trends or spending time working out. Shailesh Patel (Co-Founder):My background is rooted in science, followed by a Master’s degree in business. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with multinational organisations and helped build ventures centred around sustainable solutions. I’m very hands-on and detail-oriented, someone who thrives on execution. For me, strategy must always be backed by strong ethics and measurable results. How did two people from different professional worlds come together to build a venture centred around fresh, natural seafood? Our paths crossed through shared sporting networks, where casual conversations gradually shifted toward food, health, and sustainability. Shobhit’s expertise in media and branding combined naturally with my background in aquaculture. As we discussed clean-label foods and the gaps in India’s seafood ecosystem, it became clear there was a real opportunity. In 2023, we decided to bootstrap Dam Good Fish. The idea was simple: combine strong storytelling and consumer awareness with operational expertise that ensures traceability and quality. Our complementary skill sets helped turn that idea into

Sujata & Taniya Biswas: Redefining the Everyday Indian Sari

A homegrown Indian fashion brand redefining the sari as an everyday, breathable, and expressive garment. Combining Sujata’s structured, systems-driven approach with Taniya’s creative vision, they work closely with artisan communities across India to create clothing rooted in comfort, honesty, and human connection. Their journey blends entrepreneurship with sisterhood, building a brand that values trust, craftsmanship, and mindful fashion. Taniya, you left a stable career with the Tata group and IBM after IIM Lucknow, and Sujata, you pivoted from IIFT Delhi and corporate life. What was the exact moment when both of you realised that the corporate path wasn’t enough and that Suta was waiting to happen? Taniya: It wasn’t a rebellion. It was recognition. I had done everything “right”: engineering, IIM, a Consulting role that looked perfect on paper. But somewhere between late-night presentations and early morning meetings, I realised I was living life from the neck up. My hands missed fabric. My heart missed stories. I kept returning mentally to memories of wet saris drying on clotheslines, of Maa moving through the house with her pallu tucked in. One evening, over chai, I said it aloud to Sujata: I don’t think this is it. The moment I spoke it, Suta was born. Sujata: For me, it came as the discomfort of becoming someone I wasn’t. The corporate world had given me growth, but it had also hardened me. I remember thinking: If success requires me to lose softness, I don’t want it. My PhD was an attempt to find meaning, but even that felt academic, distant. What we really wanted was to build something with our hands, our intuition, and our values. Suta didn’t arrive as planned. It arrived as relief. From travelling through remote weaving clusters in Meghalaya, Varanasi, MP, and Odisha to working directly with artisan families,
