About

Seril started out as an actor with strong TV credits on shows like Silicon Valley and Westworld but has found his entrepreneurial spirit and formed a healthy snack company Chakka Chips- inspired by the jackfruit that grows natively in his homeland of Kerala, India. Seril reveals how he met a guide of sorts that asked him to consider what was something else he loved besides acting-anything that might be able to generate an income. Since Seril loved food, he decided to take this fruit that he enjoyed since he was a child, and introduce it to the western world, and voila, his brand was born! Seril remarks that there are many similarities between being an actor and an entrepreneur- His acting background gave him thick skin and prepared him for rejections as they came up. Most importantly, his storytelling skills made him shine when delivering his pitch! Because at the end of the day, he was not selling a product, people were connecting to his story!  If you want to try these delicious vegetarian, vegan and gluten free snacks, click here to order: https://chakkachips.com
