New Delhi [India], October 9: For Kabita Singh, returning to paid work did not mean returning to an office. After a career break from banking, she launched Kabita’s Kitchen on YouTube in November 2014. In an interview with Slurrp, she explained that her son starting school had given her time to pursue her interest in cooking. Creating videos from home allowed her to turn that interest into a career while remaining present for her family.
