Nitin Chhoda began his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 14, when he sold bottled coca cola (before they had them in cans), and returned the bottles back to the store to earn back the deposit. Nitin is the ‘American Dream’, having arrived in the US with no money, in a post 9-11 world. In the past, Nitin worked as a waiter in restaurants and waited to eat after guests left, since he couldn’t afford his own meal. He has previously slept in his car because he couldn’t afford to pay the rent. He understands what it means to struggle. Today he owns several businesses that collectively gross high seven figures, he flies business class around the world, and runs a team of remote employees around the world, all of whom live life on their own terms.
