Bert Mueller, co-founder, California Burrito
Over a decade ago, a young American came to India. Bert Mueller, a student of music and public policy, landed in Jaipur, the pink city, in 2010. “It is a wonderful place. I loved studying there,” he recalls. The ‘wonderful’ place turned out to be enchanting. Mueller applied for a study programme in Jaipur to know more about Indian culture, and lived with an Indian family for over six months. A fellow student—on the same study programme—cooked fantastic Mexican food, which was loved by the Indian family. That sparked the thought, and whetted Mueller’s appetite, of staying back. “Why not start a business?” he wondered.
