Chandigarh

So what's the home cooking like when you talk about Indian food? Is it is it regional? Is it other dishes that your folks made that were really that stood out?

Yeah, so my mom is from Chandigarh, so in the Punjab, and makes a lot of North Indian food.

So it's like drier curries, rich, spicy.

My dad is a bit more from the south.

So that was a pretty, pretty, I don't know if you went to Uttar Pradesh, did you?

did so i kind of i did this motorbike trip i did one for ryan obviously just before i saw you ah scouse mate and um yeah we kind of did one through rajasthan and kind of sort of centrally india and then i did one just by myself through punjab kind of started in chandigarh and then went through punjab up to kashmir and back but i only kind of dropped through because i was rushing back i had this visa for canada and i had a wedding in japan and i'm kind of I've normally been quite a leisurely traveller, but it was kind of a bit of a rush job, so I'm keen to get back there.

Yeah, well, I kind of rushed it as well because I'd been in Pakistan for, like, seven weeks and it had been, like, really intense and there was, like, quite a few, like, issues and it was extreme.

It was, like...

Do you see a lot of folks use for after-hours operations? Or that's one of the things I think for listeners is, what should I start targeting first as a practical first step for folks listening?

So the city we're based out in Chandigarh in India sort of wakes up at 5.30 in the evening because everybody is going to work at a contact center.

And the city goes to sleep around 3 AM when everybody gets off work.

after hours is an easy one for a customer to trust us on right day one but we can do it all we we we would love to take on from after hours take on reduce some of the headache from the customer and then go into main hours main shift hours which are being 8 am to 5 pm eastern that's what we consider all our staff always works on east coast time so you're never having to explain to them what time they're having a meeting or what time the delivery is.

So we've got one coming up in Brisbane, Gold Coast.

I'm going to be running one in Chandigarh in India.

We've got one in the US later in the year.

So we're expanding the groups.

first of all, getting people from abroad.

Like the nearest city from there is, I believe, Chandigarh, which is itself, like the capital of India is New Delhi, right? So Chandigarh, which is another, you know, major city, it's around one, 1.5 hour drive from New Delhi.

And then from Chandigarh, which is the main city, it's like a four hour drive or a five hour drive to Mandi, which is a very small city, a very small town wherein, you know, it's basically just a college and everything is built around it.

So

it was a challenge, but we managed to get it through.
