Food blogger to diabetes food needs provider. The 13 year long journey of Bangalore's Monika Manchanda.

Radio Finely Chopped by Kalyan Karmakar

I am proud to present Monika Manchanda, Bangalore based food writer & restaurant consultant and Chief Culinary Officer of LiveAltLife, in the latest episode of #FoodocracyForHer. In this chat you will get to hear about how Monika, a former IT professional, took up food blogging in 2008 and then became a home baker before the phrase was even coined. Of how she explored different avenues of blogging and social media till she had her eureka moment when she stepped into a commercial kitchen and discovered her calling as a restaurant/ cafe consultant. You will hear of the self-doubts that she faced during the journey, her battles with the 'imposter syndrome,' the emptiness of the lockdown and of how she then rediscovered herself as the co-founder of LiveAltLife, a health tech startup aimed at helping people reverse lifestyle diseases with a focus on diabetes. You will find Monika at her candid best here. I found her life's journey as a food social media denizen and the tips that she shared to be most enlightening. As I am sure will you. #FoodocracyForHer by Kalyan Karmakar is India's longest running podcast featuring women entrepreneurs in the food and beverage business.
