Testimonials for Vegan Business Coaching and Workshops

“Hi, I’m Shruti Mishra. Founder of A Little Dipsy, a plant-based cloud kitchen in Bangalore. Susmitha ran Carrots, the oldest, one-of-a-kind, all vegan restaurant in Bangalore. She had all the insights one would need to run a kitchen.

I met her several years ago when I attended her dairy alternatives workshop. She has the most approachable and warm personality. So, once I had a brand and product idea in mind, she was an ideal mentor to reach out to. She guided me right from the basics, like feedback on brand names, to suggestions on kitchen appliances, to being one of the official tasters for everything that came out of the Dipsy kitchen. Her guidance is always precise, candid, valuable, and empowering.

Dipsy did well right from the get-go. I went on to do another masterclass with her later and that as well was insightful as ever. She will always be someone I will look up to with high regard for advice.”

“Hello everyone. I’m Preeti Gopal from Bangalore and I’m a data scientist in a tech company. I’ve been a vegan for a few years now and it has been my dream to open my own vegan cafe and a restaurant a few years down the line. So because I just have it as an idea and a dream, I wanted to talk to people, but I had no one in my immediate family and friends circle who is from a business space.

So I looked for help online and I found Susmitha and I signed up for it immediately. I’m so glad because she’s been there, done that, and she speaks out of experience and insight. You’ll really come out with more clarity on what you need to do. So yeah, I strongly recommend her guidance. Thank you.”

“I approached Susmitha in a rather difficult time, as we were assessing our business health. From then to now has been an incredible journey that has rendered me not just a guide and philosopher, but also a friend in Susmitha. With her guiding me and helping me take some important calls, I feel that the signal on the path to inevitable success is always green.

Regardless of which stage your business is at, I would definitely recommend seeking Susmitha’s coaching so that you are exposed to someone as knowledgeable and adept as one can be and also find the comfort of a friend and confidant in someone who cares for you beyond professional realms. I can’t thank Susmitha enough for all the knowledge, value, care and affection she brings to the table – thank you.”

“Hello, my name is Ekta. I used to run a vegan bakery by the name Homemade Beku in Bangalore, and currently I run online yoga classes under the name Poornatvam. I have sought help from Susmitha as a mentor a few times to understand how to deal with the emotional challenges that arise when you’re running a business as a solopreneur.

How to manage my energy levels, when to say no, how much to do, what to prioritise, how to prioritise myself. And I understood a lot about abundance as a mindset. I understood that abundance is not just an energy which is just for me, but it is a collective energy that is available for everyone. So when I seek abundance, the easiest way to tap into the energy of abundance is to seek it for everyone around me. That can be done in energy, that can be done in thought, or in action. Thank you Susmitha for all your help.”

Hi, I’m Bharat. I’m planning to open up a vegan cloud kitchen in Vidyaranyapura, North Bangalore. The name’s Zendough. So I’m a vegan chef, and I needed help with kick starting the plan, guidance regarding licensing, marketing, pricing, etc.

I knew Susmitha because of Carrots Restaurant. I mean, who doesn’t know Carrots Restaurant, right? So I found out that she’s offering vegan business coaching online, and I figured that would be of great help to me. I went ahead with the clarity call for about 15 minutes or so, and took up the session a few days later. It was a good one hour session, loaded with a lot of information that I needed.

Susmitha’s also a very friendly person to talk to. She definitely helped me plan my business. So yeah, thank you, Susmitha

“Hi, I’m Supriya, an architect, entrepreneur, and yoga trainer. I’m a multi-passionate who was struggling with insecurity and a lot of stress. I felt de-motivated every time a client who was interacting with me or a lead that I got did not sign up with my services. The interactions that I had with Susmitha has helped me a lot in realising that I was chasing something that wasn’t right for me.

After working with her, I even realised that every time a wrong client walks out, I’m just making more space for the perfect client, or my ideal client, who could respect my time and value me. Every time she shared her own stories it resonated with me and I felt like I had someone who truly understood, and who got new perspective to help me.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed (and laughed throughout {in a good way!}) Susmitha’s workshop! That may seem like an odd choice of words for something like a workshop which is often perceived to be boring, but what differentiates hers is that she steers clear of the dime-a-dozen recipes on the internet.

And of course, her high energy vibes! I came in looking for answers to some very specific questions but what I didn’t expect to do was to leave with a refreshed and positive mindset towards cooking/dairy alternatives as a whole. That’s probably the best takeaway one can get.

There were also several tiny details for the observant listener and I caught quite a few. Never have I taken notes so enthusiastically. I was even motivated to set up a dedicated notebook to document my obsessive journey into dairy alts and I’m glad her workshop was the first entry.

Glad to have found someone who shares my enthusiasm for vegan curd and good cup of chai. ☕🥛 It’s a very quick and productive session for those who are new to the world of vegan dairy – you’ll see that you needn’t compromise on anything or limit yourself, in more ways than one.”

“Hello everyone, this is Ram, and I run Carrots Cloud Kitchen. It’s been a long time since I know Susmitha. She’s one of my favourite mentor all the time. I’m really impressed with my recent work with her, helping me on creating the modules for the classes. First of all I got really upset, simply because she rejected my whole month of hard work on the write up. She made me to do it again, and after her approval I posted on social media.

Guess what? I immediately got one booking for the class, which was totally wow! And still I have few more enquiries pending. So basically I love the way she made me rewrite to the point, that is one of the creative things I find in Susmitha. Love you and take care, Sus. Thank you so much for helping me.”

“Hi, I’m Aditya Fernandes and I’m an artist and a graphic designer. I took guidance from Susmitha to help me in navigating a situation where a client who was also a friend was being unrealistic with timelines and expectations. After talking with Susmitha I understood the importance of having a contract and not being afraid to speak up when a boundary is being crossed, even if the client is a friend.

The project that I was working on was meant to take three to four months, it ended up being about eighteen months, which is when I contacted Susmitha. And I’m happy to say that within three to four weeks of speaking with her, I had completed the project and received all payments. Thanks Susmitha. You were super helpful.”

“It was so lovely talking to you today. We highly appreciate the way you detailed each and every minute area of starting a new setup. You have covered all basic areas we need to work on before commencing and your words of motivation and enthusiasm has uplifted our spirits to come back to you soon. Thank you so much again for being a great mentor in our journey.”
