Apart from being a Food Blogger, Akash is also a creative and innovative person who has some artistic instincts to explore new things and replenish his knowledge.

Akash Gupta is a Food Blogger. Earlier he used to write blogs on his website but during the lockdown he thought of doing something new and that’s when he started food blogging.

Akash belongs to Jammu. As his mother was a teacher in Aryan Public School, he also did his schooling from there. After that, he did B.B.A, a one-year Post Graduate Diploma in Business Management and MBA in Marketing from The Business School, Jammu. Apart from academics, he also liked to explore other things and so he joined a Digital Marketing company and worked as a consultant for a year.

Feeling nostalgic about his childhood, Akash talks about his childhood incidents and pranks he used to do on his teachers along with his friends and says he misses those childhood days a lot because they were stress free, worry free and fun days which can’t come back now.

Akash considers his father as his role model because in his childhood, he had seen a time when there was no food to eat in their house and his family was in a huge financial crisis. But his father did not give up and worked very hard to give him a better life. Also, his father is a very kind human being who does good to even those who were the reason for his downfall.

When Covid struck, Akash just got his MBA finished and because of the lockdown, he was at home, exploring himself. Then he started his Travel and Food page on Instagram which slowly started getting popular after he was announced as a ‘Runner-up’ in a Food Competition Event he had participated in. After that he worked with several cafes, restaurants and even some food brands on paid sponsorship basis in and outside Jammu. Now, he is planning to move to Canada to do some specialisation in Management and do something of his own as in his opinion, self-employment is anytime better than doing a job for someone else.

In his free time, Akash loves sketching, drawing and making portraits. Apart from this, he loves watching different series on Netflix.

When asked about achievements, Akash says that being the runner up in the ‘Social Media Sensation Event’ was an achievement for him. He bought a Royal Enfield bike with his own money which is his biggest achievement so far. Other than that, he received some awards from different organisations he worked in.

If anyone wants to make his career in food blogging, then Akash advises them that you should have a passion to create good quality content and deliver it. You should be good at photography, videography and editing photos and videos. Apart from this, all other skills you will learn to develop on your own while working in this field.

A piece of advice Akash gives to today’s generation is that you should know your values and principles because in today’s era many things are available to distract you through which you may go astray. So whatever you want to do, do it wholeheartedly, diligently and don’t deviate.
