Bakes & Mistakes ☕🍰
Bakes & Mistakes: Mumbai Edition ☕🍰
A meetup for the stories we do not always talk about.
We have all made mistakes, missed opportunities, lost clients, made bad calls, taken wrong turns and figured things out the hard way.
Bakes & Mistakes is a cosy evening for freelancers, founders, creators and professionals to come together, share their mistakes and lessons, and learn from one another in a space that is open, honest and free of judgement.
Just real stories, meaningful conversations, good people and good food.
Come as you are. Share what you have learned. Leave with a little more perspective.
What to Expect
Icebreakers & introductions to get conversations started
Bakes & Mistakes stories real experiences, failures and lessons
Open conversations & Q&A around work, careers, business and creativity
Curated networking with people from different backgrounds
Good food, drinks & a relaxed café setting
Photos, reels & community moments
Who Should Join?
Freelancers & independent professionals
Founders
Creators & designers
Consultants
Working professionals
Students & early-career professionals
Anyone building, experimenting, or figuring things out
You don’t need to have a big mistake to share either. Come with a story, a lesson, a question, or simply an open mind.
Why Bakes & Mistakes?
Because sometimes the most useful conversations are the ones we don't usually have.
A failed project.
A difficult client.
A career decision that didn't work out.
A business idea that went nowhere.
A lesson you wish you'd learned earlier.
Someone else in the room might be going through exactly the same thing.
