As an entrepreneur, when do you really arrive?
On sealing x number of sales?
On surpassing profit expectations?
By building a loyal community?
Or on being awarded and recognised?
I feel it's a combination of all of these factors and a lot more.
Also, there's always "more room" until you actually arrive. (At least that's what an entrepreneur's mind reads).
At this moment, I feel like I am nearing the fictitious arrival mark after being recognised as the 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐃2𝐂 at Startup Story Entrepreneur Awards (SSEA) 2024.
The last 3+ years of our journey with Wakao Foods has been a rollercoaster of numbers, emotions, and milestones. This recognition reassures me that we are on the right track while further nudging me to work harder and make jackfruit an international crush.
A big thank you to everyone who saw me worthy of this title. To every Wakao Head out there, this one's for you.
With our spirit as high as the infinite sky, we are excited to keep Wakaoiiinggg!

The Jackfruit serves as a perfect analogy to Lord Krishna’s Teachings 🙏
Lord Krishna teaches us "life can be tough on the outside but holds sweetness within”.
A learning perfectly broken down by the mighty jackfruit.
On the outside, the jackfruit appears rugged, with its thick, spiky skin that is challenging to break open. With this, it mirrors the difficulties we often face in life, the obstacles, hardships, and struggles that seem undefeatable at first glance.
However, when we show the patience and effort to peel away the tough exterior, we discover the rich, sweet fruit inside. Similarly, Lord Krishna's teachings remind that beneath life’s challenges lies hidden joy, fulfilment, and growth.
The process of overcoming difficulties, much like opening a jackfruit, requires perseverance and faith. However, once we get through the tough times, we uncover the rewards of wisdom, strength, and peace.
The jackfruit, like life, is a reminder that the best things often come after the toughest trials. Another tough trial took jackfruit from my backyard to the world with Wakao Foods.
Relatable?
Best Wishes from Team Wakao for Janmashtami.
