In this episode, Anand takes us on a hilarious yet insightful journey from his early days in traditional roles across the US, India, and the UAE to finding his true calling in comedy. He shares the cultural shocks, the quirks of corporate life, and how humor became his bridge between worlds. Anand's stories are not just laughs; they're about chasing dreams, understanding diverse cultures, and finding joy in the unexpected. Join me for a ride filled with laughter and revelations by sipping your own cup of Karak along the way.
