Join host Janice Figov for an inspiring conversation with Aditi Uzagare, owner and operator of Khau Gully Restaurant and Catering in Toronto. As a first-generation immigrant, Aditi's entrepreneurial journey began at just 9 years old when her family opened their first restaurant, giving her an early immersion into the world of small business and hospitality.

In this episode, Aditi shares her remarkable story of leaving the corporate world in 2018 to focus on building the family business in Toronto. From her childhood spent learning the restaurant industry to pursuing a Master's in Management in Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Queen's University, Aditi reveals how she balanced academic excellence with hands-on business experience.

Beyond the restaurant, Aditi discusses her ventures into the startup ecosystem, including her work creating an ethnic snack company at DDQIC incubator. She opens up about the unique challenges and opportunities of being a first-generation immigrant entrepreneur, the importance of preserving cultural food traditions, and how she's building bridges between her heritage and Canadian business landscape.
