About this listen

 What happens when a 14-year-old worldschooling middle-school dropout teams up with a 41-year-old IIT alum, Stanford topper, and sports tech CEO? Each week, Kiara Aranha and Arvind Iyengar talk with guests who’ve dared to take the road less travelled - from bold career moves to unexpected life choices. Funny, curious, and refreshingly real, 14 Going on 41 is where two generations swap notes on what it means to live life off-script.

    Ruchyeta Bhatia - Baking Brand | Ep 11
    Jan 27 2026
    In this episode of 14 Going on 41, Kiara and Arvind sit down with Ruchyeta Bhatia, founder of Love & Cheesecake, to trace the winding path from a 21-year-old quitting corporate jobs, importing paintball guns, and eventually building one of Mumbai’s most recognisable dessert brands. This conversation is about choosing excitement over certainty, happiness over convention, trusting yourself before the plan makes sense. Because sometimes, the recipe for success isn’t written - you have to improvise, taste as you go, and trust the mess.
