Full Stack Food

Amol Dixit is used to living in two different worlds. For one, he calls himself a company guy and an entrepreneur. Amol heads up G-works, or General Mills’ startup incubator, which creates companies that will eventually be spun back into General Mills. The team is made up of what General Mills calls “corporate entrepreneurs,” which sounds like a contradiction in terms. But Amol insists it’s not. He should know. He’s worked at the consumer packaged goods giant for 15 years. But in the middle of that time, he was laid off, and instead of going to another big company, Amol decided to follow his dream of democratizing Indian food by launching a food truck. That dream is rooted in his own personal story - which again…begins with Amol living in two worlds.
