An IIT Bombay and Harvard alumna, Ahana Gautam, quits her IT job and starts a snack brand called Open Secret, which is described as targeting “un-junked” food. The reported business value mentioned across coverage is Rs 87 crore.
The outlets frame the move as a shift from a corporate IT role to building a consumer food brand. Open Secret positions itself around offering snacks that it claims are healthier or made with cleaner ingredients, using the “un-junked” label to distinguish its products from conventional packaged options.
While both accounts focus on the same founder and company, they largely differ only in wording about the starting point—one describes the action as quitting her job, while another specifies she leaves an IT role—without adding substantially different facts. Both pieces present the brand launch and its core positioning as the central story.
