Madhura: While searching for recipes, you may have already come across her site -- Madhura's recipe. Madhura was a banker by profession before. After having a baby and shifting abroad with her husband, Madhura was looking for a change of career.

She wanted a career option that would allow her to spend time with her baby. That was how Madhura started her own YouTube Channel and turned into a food blogger.
