33-year-old Vijeet Suman said he quit Uber in 2024 after a decade in payments and fraud prevention to build four businesses in Mexico, shifting from corporate tech to entrepreneurship.
2023 was the turning point: he and Arpit Khurana opened Aroma Curry in Mexico City for authentic Indian food, then expanded into wedding catering after demand from customers.
Two more ventures followed when market gaps surfaced — yoga and pilates studio Santulan, software platform Klasius built to run his operations, and fraud startup Fortify, already piloting with a major Mexican e-commerce company.
Over half of Aroma Curry's revenue once came from a single delivery app, while permits, contracts and negotiations in Spanish added pressure for an immigrant founder building trust with large local clients.
Suman said entrepreneurship changed his finances and personal life alike: he now pays staff, suppliers and taxes before himself, while balancing four companies with raising a son far from family in India.
