Former Tech Professionals Build Successful Baking Businesses After Leaving IT Careers
Two former tech professionals, Namrata Khandeparkar from Goa and Sahithya Raj from Hyderabad, left their IT careers to pursue baking businesses. Namrata transitioned from a Module Lead at Persistent Systems to a customized cake business after finding corporate work unfulfilling. Sahithya, an ex-IBM SAP BI consultant, started baking desserts at home, growing her brand to eight outlets over eight years with funding and expanding demand. Both found greater satisfaction and success in entrepreneurship than in their previous corporate roles.
