In this episode, Khushi invites Dyne Founder and CEO Arnav Mishra to talk about his entrepreneurial journey and his latest startup. He is a serial entrepreneur who wants to be remembered for the communities he builds and inspire others to do the same. Arnav started Dyne about two years back and has done exceptionally well with not only raising $1.5 million in funding but also paving the way to build friendships over food. Dyne is a great way to connect and discover local eats for foodies while scaling restaurants with novel AI. He opens up about the journey from the ideation and development phase which lasted several months to finding the right team and global expansion that is happening while you are reading this. Khushi and Arnav also discuss how to tackle major shifts in life like changing countries, East and West mindsets when it comes to growing the business, and how receiving funding may be very similar to dating. 

 Enjoy listening to this:)
