The Founder who knew when to SHUT SHOP - Tejal Bathia
From Kitchen Dreams to a Spiritual Calling | Founder in the Chair with Tejal Bathia
In this episode of Founder in the Chair, I sit down with the incredible Tejal Bathia, a woman who turned her accidental kitchen start-up into a thriving business empire. Tejal’s journey is one of resilience, determination, and reinvention—a story that will inspire any entrepreneur to think about their “why” and their next chapter.
Tejal began her business accidentally from her home kitchen, mastering her craft through YouTube and working tirelessly to provide for herself and her daughter as a single mother. Her passion and grit grew her business from her kitchen to a quintessential cake shop with charm and character, where she created the warm, inviting vibe of a Central Perk-style café—just like in Friends! Her dream expanded into a 70-seater coffee and dessert lounge that became a true community hub.
But Tejal always knew there had to be an “out”—a plan for the next step, which so many founders overlook. When the time came, she made the bold decision to shut shop and follow her true passion. Today, Tejal is a Rapid Transformational Therapist, Psychic Medium, and Spiritual Coach, helping others heal and transform their lives.
Her story is a powerful reminder: always know your exit strategy, whether it’s a Plan B, retirement, or a new passion.
