Bengaluru Woman Leaves Lucrative Job to Pursue Baking Career

Asmita, a former HR professional earning ₹1.5 lakh per month, starts a bakery after preparing financially and completing formal training.

Asmita, a Bengaluru-based HR professional, left her ₹18 LPA corporate job in 2023 to pursue her passion for baking.
Her husband, Sagar, shared a viral post on X (formerly Twitter) showcasing her baked goods and expressing pride in her decision.
Asmita completed a professional certification from Lavonne Academy of Baking Science and Pastry Arts before starting her bakery, Crumble, in August 2023.
She advises others considering a career shift to save 12 months of expenses, validate their ideas, and believe in themselves before making the leap.
Asmita now sells her baked goods through Instagram and credits Bengaluru's entrepreneurial spirit for inspiring her to take a risk.
