If You Want to Succeed in Anything You Have to Be Constant and Dedicated Towards That Work - Yash Shivhare


I used to love cooking in my childhood days and then one fine day, I started to upload all my food related shots on my personal Instagram (2017). With growing number of food posts I was told by my friends to start a page for Food Blogging.  This is how I was pushed to run a professional account for my blog. 


1. Tell us about your background and journey.

Hello I am Yash Shivhare. I am from Tajganj, Agra. I completed my B.COM (HONS) from P.G.D.A.V College Delhi University. Now I am an Entrepreneur and I have my application called Xation. I am the director of this app which was launched this app in 2020 January. My family has always supported me and this has helped me gain confidence in my work.


2. What led you to start this journey and your page on Instagram and what is it about?

I used to love cooking in my childhood days and then one fine day, I started to upload all my food related shots on my personal Instagram (2017). With growing number of food posts I was told by my friends to start a page for Food Blogging.  This is how I was pushed to run a professional account for my blog. 

Now my page - @shiv_yash_bhukkadofagra is supported by a family of 10k followers. I have my food bloggers group and it's called as taj_gourmets. We started this group in 2018 and now I have a team of 30+ bloggers.

One more fun fact about the selection for such a name for my Instagram blog is that after my page was activated, my friends and my mother starting calling me by saying "Bhukkad kaisa h tu?", I am proud to be called as a bhukkad. So I eventually came up with the name shiv_yash_bhukkadofagra for food blog.  


3. What is your idea of success or your mantra in life?

If you want to succeed in anything you have to be constant and dedicated towards that work. Like I started my startup which is called Xation app. It's run in ages from last 10 months I started in January 2020 now I have very good response about that because I work consistently with new ideas and most important is team work. I have my team of bloggers in Agra we work all together.


4. How can someone become a successful food blogger?

For becoming a successful food blogger, you have to be focused on your audience, what they want to see on you page, which type of content should be uploaded on your page. It's too important for food bloggers.


5. Which is your favourite book and why?

My favourite book is Rich Dad and Poor Dad. It's very dedicated book for me it's gives me a motivation about my work. They give you a lesson about what I do in your life.
