Unfolding Kamiya's journey π
Not that we need to give an introduction but here's a bit about Kamiya.
An entrepreneur, a mother & a fitness freak, #KamiyaJani is influencing the digital world one blog at a time.
A former journalist, she is the founder of Curly Tales, India's number 1 food & travel platform.
π§π» Early Days
Born and brought up in Mumbai, Kamiya was very shy and introverted as a kid.
Being a Sindhi, she grew up with a strong familiarity with good food. She'd often travel with her parents on weekends or holidays and discover new places and possibilities.
Kamiya's mother would often say that she wished for her daughter to become a news anchor.
She set out to make this a reality by pursuing her bachelorβs course in Mass Media.
πΌ Life after college
After graduating, Kamiya went to work as a writer with @CNBCTV18Live and wrote on finance and lifestyle.
Two years later, she went on to work as a Anchor & Associate Producer for Bloomberg UTV; she wrote scripts and assisted even the videographer.
Three years later, she was hired by ET as an anchor and occasionally, hosted travel shows on YouTube.
Here's her snapshot of her work ππ»:

π΄ Pursuing her passion
One day, Kamiya was forced to cancel her vacation due to work. Being an ardent traveller, this feeling of living on other's terms was unsettling for her.
She made a brave decision to drop in her resignation after assessing the situation thoroughly.
At the end of 2016, Kamiya set out to start her own platform 'Curly Tales' one that would focus on bringing the experience of travelling to an audience.
She started by penning down her journey and her travel experience, but soon she started making videos.
Within 8 months of its launch, @CurlyTalesIndia took off and she started getting sponsorships and other brand deals.
Cut to 2022, Curly Tales is India's number 1 food & travel platform with over 3 million followers on Facebook, and 1.81 Million subs on YouTube.
β‘ What it takes to get to the top?
#KamiyaJani firmly believes that one must love their job so much that money shouldn't be a motivation at all.
And for creators starting out, Kamiya insists that one should be consistent in whatever you are doing.
