The Officer Who Found Replacement Of Meat

Indian Masterminds Stories

Coming from Patna, Bihar, UPSC CSE naturally came as a career choice for Mr. Abhishek Sinha. He completed his Chemical Engineering from Pune University in 2004 and then started preparing for UPSC CSE. After graduation, all his efforts went into trying to achieve his target. In between, he cleared the exam for Section Officer (Audit) and CAPF Commandant before clearing UPSC CSE in 2008. First, he got into the Indian Defence Accounts Service and then in 2010, he cleared the exam again and got into the Indian Revenue Service. 

Everything was going great. He had a great career ahead of him but Mr. Sinha who was always an animal lover wanted to do something for them. Feeding and rescuing animals was part of his lifestyle but he couldn’t quit eating meat. Even after multiple attempts to quit meat, he would keep going back to eating that. Soon he realized that he was not the only one with this problem.

So, he started finding a solution for that and started researching about it. It led to the foundation of GoodDot, India’s leading plant-based meat & vegan food manufacturer.
In an exclusive video interview with Indian Masterminds, the former IRS officer shared his UPSC journey, how he decided to quit, his unconditional love for animals and his company.
