Founder Spotlight: Akash Wadhwani (OatMlk)
Meet Akash Wadhwani:
We make the healthiest milk on planet from oats.
Startup Stage:
Bootstrapped
Location:
Kanpur, India
When did you launch the business?
September 2021
What led you to where you are today?
Motivation to fix the broken dairy system in India, there are 7.4 million cows milked everyday here in our country. We believe that the plant revolution can help us save some of those cows, if not all.
What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey?
Patience is the key. As coming from a very different background, I always had this thing of completing my work on priority and sleeping in peace. But coming to a field where everything is new, and you have to be dependant on everyone to complete their tasks for your task to function well, that's when patience is the key.
What is the most difficult decision you've had to make regarding your business so far?
Delaying it to get the best nutritional value in the market. We had to do trials again and wait for over 3 months to launch, instead of launching in a week.
What can you help the VEGPRENEUR community with?
I would love to share my experience, and help new startups with their design and tech, as we are not a tech company, but my tech background helps us a lot in getting things done quick and easy.
How can the VEGPRENEUR community help you?
Help us be a more prominent part of the community.
Fun fact about you:
I design everything you see at OatMlk and in 2021 I ran for 100 days straight without a break.
Anything else you would like to share?
My favorite motto to live by is to always add love to everything you do.
