Join Epaphra in this gripping episode of the ThirdLane Podcast as we dive into the extraordinary journey of Dr. Elavarasi Jayakanth, the woman behind Ashwathy Hot Chips.

From running a small snack business to exporting across 150+ countries, Elavarasi's story is a masterclass in resilience. At just 18, she was married and pregnant, searching for a way to make ends meet. She didn’t attend Stanford for an MBA—she built her success the hard way, through sheer grit and an unshakable mindset.

In this episode, we talk about:
How she bounced back after a ₹1 crore loss and a life-threatening crisis
Why a robbery that wiped out her business became a turning point
The systems she built to scale Ashwathy Hot Chips globally
Her surprising response when we lost power mid-recording

Some see setbacks. She sees opportunities.

If you're looking for a raw, unfiltered conversation on overcoming struggles and building something legendary, this episode is for you.
