We Lost A Lot Of Money, But The Learnings Were Worth It Ft. Rahul Gadi, Regional Growth Head, Zomato

Rahul Gadi, currently Head - Regional Growth at Zomato, MICA alum, always wanted a good career, and so he decided to do CA. However, after clearing the first two levels, he realised he found it extremely boring, and couldn't see himself doing an accountant's job for the rest of his life. He soon quit and his search for something interesting brought him to MICA. While there were a lot of things to talk about from his MBA days, the one fond memory that he has is of running the mess committee. He always had a knack for food, and found the experience extremely pleasant. Perhaps that love for food is what drove him to start his own ice-cream parlour, and ultimately took him to Zomato.
