A dream come true for both of us!

Meet Rani and Adi, the co-founders of adirani Digital Solutions and Garchi CMS.

When Rani was first looking at studying in the UK, he was researching the entrepreneurial support at each university and that is when he first discovered Work in Progress. This discovery was then actually one of the reasons Rani decided to study at Lancaster!

Rani and Adi were course mates on their Master’s Degree in Business and Innovation and through their love of cultural stories exchanged over cooking, they started Garchi as a cloud kitchen platform for homemade foods. Since then, the business has pivoted many times.

Now, Garchi is a headless CMS platform for content & e-commerce under adirani DS, where they consult businesses and train transitioning individuals on web app development.

After Adi and Rani originally started their business, they attended a variety of different WIP events including Pitch Night, Social Media Bootcamp, and Let’s Talk!

Now, Adi and Rani are Entrepreneurs in Residence at Lancaster University Management School which they describe as a ‘dream come true for both of us!

My fondest memories are the camaraderie among the cohort members in pitching and refining our ideas. There was a competition to pitch our business idea to 100 people and collect their signatures on the back of a T-shirt. I've managed to collect more than 100 signatures, and that T-shirt has become a reminder that I can do things when I set my mind into it.
