Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Poulami Datta. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Poulami, appreciate you joining us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

My mission is to bring benchside discoveries to bedside

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Myself is a scientist and associate director of a top pharmaceutical company. I am an immigrant and came to united states after finishing my Doctorate degree. As away from home I started missing my mom’s homecooked food. I started taking her recipies over the phone and whenever a gathering use to happen I strictly use to follow my mom’s recipies and after earing those food everyone praised me. When I saw that response I thought why not share my mom’s recipes in different social media platform so that everyone can try. After sharing I got huge response from facebook and got 3 k followers.

Have you ever had to pivot?

Being a scientist I have full time job.At first I tried to share the recipies through youtube but unluckily I didnt receive good response. After having full time job and sharing recipies out of my passion for cooking was really dufficult and also disheartening when noticed poor response. But I said to myself I cant live science as I love it and so cooking too. Rather getting sad feeling failure lets try a different approach. I started sharing my recipies in writeup form with final food pic. Luckily audience started loving that content and the page started growing. Never think you can’t just keep going towards your goal

How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?

My resilence, my authentic food picture/videos, my positive attitude and easy recipies have helped me to build my reputation in the market. 3k followers at facebook is not big but for its big number. However my insta follower is just 293 seeing this number I feel sad but I believe my resilence and positive attitude will allow me to grow at instagram also
