I'm launching a catering business in Bengaluru next February. I have saved the start-up funds myself, but I have never run a business before. I've questions about pricing, suppliers, simple bookkeeping, hiring and - frankly - how not to burn out.
I'm looking for a mentor with real small-business experience, ideally in a catering business, willing to have a monthly call for the first three months. I'll bring a list of questions and my numbers.
If you have a few hours a month, and enjoy helping someone avoid the mistakes you made, I'd really appreciate it.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- small business experience, bookkeeping, pricing

Good luck, Chitra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 8 people at work. Thinking of Bengaluru.
hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Jakarta Barat
take care, Chitra. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Kyiv so I could bring a meal.
Best of luck, Chitra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Bengaluru.
Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Sending strength, Chitra. Your post was clear and honest. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Shared it with a few friends. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Bengaluru
Hang in there, Chitra. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Lagos this morning. Blessings
hope things get better soon. I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. We're a small family in Tokyo but we're thinking of you. God bless
good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Likoni donated after I showed her your page. Love from Likoni.
Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Toronto
so sorry you're going through this, Chitra. Small businesses are the heart of Bengaluru. Hope you're open again soon. Greetings from Mumbai.
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you make a strong comeback. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too
