🎙️ From Wall Street to Private Chefs: How Siddhi Mittal Built the #1 Chef Marketplace and What It Means for Your STR
"The universe has your back. No matter what you're doing, it'll just work out for the better."
That's the philosophy that guided Siddhi Mittal through the rollercoaster of building Yhangry from scratch—and it's serving her well as she expands into the U.S. market with explosive growth numbers that make even Airbnb's recent services launch look modest.
When 55% of your bookings come from a market you never intentionally targeted, you'd be crazy not to pay attention. That's exactly what happened to Siddhi Mittal, Co-Founder and CEO of Yhangry, when she discovered over half of her private chef bookings were happening at vacation rentals—not private homes.
In this episode of the Booked Solid Show, Siddhi shares her unconventional journey from the Wall Street trading floor to building the UK's largest private chef marketplace. She explains why guest experiences are now the deciding factor for travelers—especially Gen Z—and reveals how property managers are earning $150- $200 per booking through a simple affiliate link. Whether you're managing 5 properties or 500, Siddhi's insights on positioning upsells at the top of your funnel (not after the booking) could completely reshape how you think about guest experience and revenue.
