Episode 4 : Founding a gay owned restaurant, how Covid forced her to pivot and learning how to juggle building a family alongside building a business. With Resh Sonchhatla

On this week's episode, we are joined by Resh Sonchhatla - founder of Chapati Club.

After working in the private equity sector for many years, Resh decided to leave her well paid career to follow her passion and open up an Indian restaurant with her partner, Heena.

"As gay women of colour, we were initially wary of being an 'out and proud' LGBTQ+ business, but quickly found that this was a strength, with peers, suppliers and most importantly, customers, all embracing them. In our four years, almost five years in business, chapati club has attracted a loyal, diverse clientele of regular 'clubbers' who value the inclusivity of the restaurant, whether they are dining with family, friends or indeed alone."

Topics we discuss:

• Leaving a well paid career to follow your passion
• Growing up with asian expectations
• Juggling business and building a family
• The struggles covid had on the business and having to pivot hard
• The importance of following your passion
