In this episode of the Million Dollar Mastermind podcast, host Larry Weidel is joined by Siddhi Mittal, Co-Founder of Yhangry, chef marketplace that helps customers book private chefs to come and cook for any occasion. Along with her Co-Founder Heinin Zhang, Siddhi won BBC Dragon's Den in 2021, securing £100,000 in funding. In 2010, Siddhi was one of 50 North American students selected for the Google FUSE summer camp internship. She then spent almost six years at Barclays Investment Bank, starting in securitized products trading and advancing to VP of Financial Credit Trading in 2015.

In the first part of this episode, Siddhi shares her journey as a Co-Founder of Yhangry, reflecting on the key moment when her business was impacted by COVID-19, which made it illegal to book private chefs. Siddhi explains how they adapted by exploiting lower marketing costs to provide online cooking classes and other activities to survive and grow their business. This period also led to their participation in Dragon's Den, the UK's version of Shark Tank, where they successfully pitched their business.
