Anjali Dhingra biography:

According to Anjali Dhingra, she was a “very studious girl” who routinely received great grades—roughly 95%. At first, her parents thought she would become a doctor or engineer. Even though she enjoyed maths, she found complex maths difficult after the tenth grade and realised she wasn’t cut out for ‘rote learning’ subjects like biology. Because she truly like computer science, she chose to major in physics, chemistry, math, and computer science.

Stressed with studies after graduating 12th, Anjali Dhingra thought she would do something off the track. She realized how much she loved to cook and be around food, often staying up late cooking meals with her sister. When she asked her mother for some practical advice on the industry, her mother, who is older than she is, encouraged her to get a basic degree for a “fallback” — she proposed that Monica study culinary arts first. However, Anjali was adamant.

Her father arranged an internship at ITC to convince her parents. Anjali learned that she was not cut out for the culinary arts in five days. Within just three days, she suffered excruciating foot pain after she watched a group of cooks who stood nine to ten hours a day with few breaks. But more importantly, she found head cooks with 10 years of experience were drawing high pay of ₹30,000 a month while chefs in a 5-star hotel were earning ₹10,000 after 2 years. Considering inflation, she decided that the work was not worth the “peanuts” she earned. 

Anjali Dhingra Parents: 

Anjali Dhingra realized after the second day that her parents were actually right and she joined computer science engineering. She continued with the discipline, did well in academics and was hired by her dream company with a pay of ₹60k a month.

Suddenly, with the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic soon after Anjali had moved to Bangalore for work, she found herself sequestered in a room by herself with no friends or pastimes outside her 9–5 job. Since she was already interested in cooking, she decided to start a cooking Instagram channel in her downtime.

Anjali Dhingra Youtube Career: 

She didn’t know how to post, light, or shoot videos on social media, despite a degree. She had to make do with one pan, an induction cooker on her balcony, and a stack of cushions to prop up her phone. “Awful” is how she characterized her early videos.

She uploaded frequently on Instagram for six months and nearly almost a year and eight months, but she had fewer viewers, and she just grew around 5000–6000 followers. She pushed through that disappointment because she was disciplined.

One day at the grocery store, Anjali had a brilliant idea. She decided to begin giving product reviews after discovering that many people, herself included, enjoyed experimenting with new products but were daunted when it came time to make a purchase because they were afraid of wasting their money. She also decided to share on YouTube and Instagram, she said, because she was concerned she would be blocked from Instagram once TikTok was banned.

Anjali Dhingra Net Worth?

The transformation was a resounding success. In only a month, she had 100,000 followers on YouTube, a feat that would take most people up to a year to achieve 1,000. Her fan base were fans of her content, praising her honesty and the fact that through her no-holds-barred reviews they were able to save cash.

She had plenty of views, but no money showed up in her AdSense account at first. She didn’t, however, but earned about as much as she did at the magazine: $700 in the second month.

Even though Anjali was hired as an Agile Development employee, she was assigned to testing by her manager, doing menial tasks, leaving her frustrated with her corporate job (which was in software development).

Anjali Dhingra Education Qualification:

Her mother was hesitant when she phoned her about leaving since she didn’t completely get social media as a feasible career. In order to see whether the YouTube earnings persisted, her mother suggested that she wait another month. Anjali made more than her job wage that month (about ₹80,000 rather than ₹60,000).

The news had a big impact on her mother, who was pleased that Anjali was making a good living, especially considering that she had just started off with ₹10,000.
Final Decision: Thereafter, Anjali resigned and told her manager about it. Anjali felt it was “too late” and chose to step down when the management finally offered her the Agile Development position. After completing her two-month notice period, she started working full-time on YouTube.

Why is Anjali Dhingra famous?

Anjali, after leaving her work, exclaimed, “My God, what a source of joy!” She added she was amazed at her own creativity and money making potential. She began outsourcing her editing once her business grew, and she began to land brand deals and work harder, but she continued to write all of the scripts herself, so that she could remain honest.

After three years the workload became so intense that she convinced her partner, Harvinder, to leave his software job and support her full time working on the channel, which made everything run smoothly.

Conclusion:

Anjali Dhingra, who goes by “So Saute” on YouTube-describes how she went from being the good student who was meant to study engineering or medicine to a successful food review-wallah.

She checked into cooking after initially balking at the standard career tracks before realizing that to get chump pay and grunt work, you could get a job in a hotel. So she went back to computer science engineering and found a highly-paid job.
