Okay...but this didn't actually start here. 👀
I think I’ve been a little creative for as long as I can remember.
I was that kid who loved making things, decorating things and somehow finding my own way of doing them.
Give me something ordinary and I’d want to make it a little more me.
I didn’t know where that would take me.
I just knew I loved creating.
And then, in 12th standard, I turned that love for making things into my first little business. 🎂
Yep...I started with cakes
In 12th standard, I started Occasions — The Ultimate Cakes by Mitali.
What started as something I loved doing slowly became a real little business — homemade customised cakes, chocolates, cupcakes, bulk orders, celebrations and lots of learning along the way.
I kept it going through my BBA, and honestly… I loved having something of my own.
Then Pune came along.
But I wasn't ready to make it my forever thing. 👀
But I wasn’t ready to make it my forever thing. 👀
Occasions was my first little business, and I loved building it.
But after BBA, I wanted to study further, so I moved to Pune for my post-graduation.
I knew I wanted to build a business again someday — I just didn’t know what it would be yet.
So I decided to study, work, gain some experience and figure it out along the way.
Little did I know, I was about to find my way back to creating.
Apparently, I never really stopped creating.
Even after moving to Pune, that part of me kept finding its way into everything.
I became a part of my college’s cultural committee, where I got to plan, decorate, make, experiment and turn random ideas into something real.
There were handmade decorations, art, crafts, events, last-minute creative chaos — and honestly, I loved every bit of it.
I wasn’t running a business then.
But I was still creating.
And maybe that should have been my first clue. 👀
Somewhere along the way, I knew this wasn’t it.
And then came Ahmedabad.
After my post-graduation, I got a good job opportunity there. I took it, learned a lot, gained experience and got to see what working life was really like.
But honestly, I wasn’t happy.
That little voice I’d known for years was still there.
I wanted to build something of my own.
So in August 2025, I made a decision that scared me a little.
I quit.
Not because I had a perfect plan.
I just knew I wanted to give myself one more chance to create something that was truly mine.
