Anjali has always taken the road-less traveled, from couch-surfing through Europe & covering IMG Fashion Weeks in Manhattan & Mumbai, to working as an incognito maid in London & becoming an expert in medical billing (always striving for the unsexy experiences).

Due to an obsession with anything gastronomy, her F&B experience ranges from food-hacking in college dorms (ask her about the “Orange Chicken”) to writing restaurant reviews for LA Splash and running front of the house at a thriving Japanese concept for 6 years.

Today, she’s co-founder and Vp of Operations of Partender, a global startup that started in Gainesville, FL that reached over 15,000 bars on its system in less than 2 years and is the first company since Facebook to have both the Winkevoss Twins and Zuckerbergs on the same team. This year, she and co-founder/brother Nik were also named by Forbes as 30 Under 30 in Food & Drink.

She’s most excited about sharing her story in hopes of inspiring others — especially in the industry — to challenge the status quo and realize how much potential there is to make things better.
