My name is Kashish Gupta, and I am passionate about technology, problem-solving, and continuous learning. I graduated from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College in Ludhiana, where I balanced my studies with entrepreneurial pursuits. During my college years (2015-2019), I co-founded a food delivery startup named Hungerbite. Alongside my friend, I managed restaurant tie-ups, handled the technical aspects, and sometimes even made deliveries myself. Despite the challenges, we reached up to 100 orders per day, but had to shut down due to the intense competition from well-funded companies like Zomato.
The technical knowledge I gained from my startup journey opened doors to freelancing opportunities with clients in the US and UK. This experience broadened my perspective and enhanced my skills, setting the stage for my corporate career. I began my professional journey at Infosys, completed my training, and then sought new opportunities by connecting with founders on LinkedIn, which led me to Plugo.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with top companies like Swiggy, Groww, and Airmeet, contributing to impactful projects and continuously striving for excellence. Recently, my dedication and hard work paid off when I received offers from Microsoft and several other startups.
My journey from a tier 3 college to working with top tech companies is a testament to the power of perseverance, strategic networking, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge. If you’re interested in connecting or learning more about my experiences, feel free to reach out on LinkedIn.
