Almost 12 years ago, we featured Sharmishtha Ghosh(Chakra) as an upcoming model and a fashion icon as she stood up as the second runner up in the famous Kingfisher Calender Girl Reality Show back in 2010 but since then a lot has changed the world, the industry and Sharmishtha's Journey as well. After making a name for herself in the fashion industry and achieving many accolades , Sharmishtha wanted to achieve something satisfying, fulfilling and sustainable. Therefore, she decided to explore her never ending passion for food but was unsure of how it would help her achieve her life goals?

After some self deliberation and brainstorming , she decided to open her restaurant in Goa named "Our Shack". In a very short span of time, the restaurant gained popularity owing to the quality food and aesthetic appeal. After successfully running the restaurant for 5 years, due to unfortunate circumstances, Sharmishtha had to shut down her restaurant. This drawback never deterred her and she knew that this was not the end of the road for her. With new determination, She moved to Mumbai and started working as a marketing manager and later, she moved to Toronto to explore her dreams abroad, where she worked as a Restaurant Supervisor / advisor running a large franchise operations but deep inside she knew that at some point of time she'll need to regain her entrepreneurial regime. Finally, after a couple of years of gaining market insight, Sharmishtha is now looking to start her new restaurant. Speaking on the occasion Sharmishtha explained - "Can't believe time flies so fast,12 years ago I was interviewed on this platform as a model and now I am back again but this time as an aspiring entrepreneur, as a hustler and a person trying to make a mark after all these years of struggle and hard work." Speaking about her new restaurant, she said- "The restaurant that I plan to set up is a Texas Style Barbeque catering to local community in Toronto. It's a unique business opportunity in Toronto considering that it's not oversaturated as there are not many authentic Barbeque options available in the city and that there is a void for something as authentic as slow smoked meats". Sharmishtha plans to cash-on this opportunity. She is hoping that the Torontorian's will love these new food offerings consisting of great variety of flavours. It also brings with it several revenue streams opportunities from dine-in to delivery. From the business plan perspective, it's a stable business model and she hopes to leverage the same.
