The Man you become along the way. | Amay Thakkar | TEDxICT Mumbai

A TEDxICT Mumbai talk by Amay Thakkar, co-founder of The Croffle Guys, on how the process of building something also reshapes the person doing it. He reflects on how uncertainty, discomfort, failure and repetition can act as catalysts for personal change. The talk argues that taking on challenges before feeling fully prepared can reveal abilities, confidence and identities that ordinary planning would not have produced. The speaker draws on his own path from a shared love of croffles and coffee to a growing venture, which also brought the brand to the Shark Tank India stage. The talk was given at an independently organized TEDx event.
