A user humorously wrote, “Follow your heart! She did great. Now get ready to spend a few more hours at the gym."
“Risk in life is what always matters and is appreciated by God, which comes with a lot of blessings and satisfaction," wrote another.
Currently living in Bengaluru, baker Asmita Paul also sat for an interview with the Hindustan Times. Asked what made her decide to switch careers, she replied, “Bangalore is a city of opportunities, and I was always fascinated with people taking risks, building companies, and trying out things. So, this motivated me to give myself a chance to take a leap of faith and see what’s on the other side."
Asmita also gave a piece of advice to people thinking of switching careers. She said, “Have 12 months of expenses saved, validate your idea before you quit the job, and finally—believe in yourself."
In 2020, Asmita Paul started baking as a hobby. Later, she completed her certification from Lavonne and started baking professionally in August 2023. Now, she sells her baked goods through her Instagram page.
