Aneshai Smith is a visionary entrepreneur with a passion for sustainability and small businesses. Prior to the pandemic, Aneshai launched a highly successful grand opening business that assisted businesses of all sizes with planning, organizing, and marketing their grand openings. With each grand opening that her company orchestrated, her clients experienced their highest revenue day ever.

When the pandemic struck and forced many businesses to close their doors, Aneshai took swift action to assist struggling restaurants. With grand opening events no longer an option, she pivoted her company to offer themed food tours that showcased a variety of restaurants each month, with a special emphasis on Black-owned and Women-owned establishments. By doing so, she aimed to increase foot traffic and support these businesses which were closing at a rapid rate.

Aneshai's success with the pivot led her to the BETA launch of Go See The City in November 2022, a food waste reduction platform that connects surplus food from restaurants to consumers and nonprofits. GO See The City includes a mobile app and a dashboard that provides real-time insights to municipalities and restaurants, allowing for data-informed decision-making. The platform was created to be a catalyst to assist the USDA and EPA in reducing food waste by 50% by 2030. GO See The City has secured government contracts to collaborate directly with cities, aiding restaurants in their efforts to minimize food waste. Additionally, we educate residents and tourists on how they can contribute to this cause.

GO See The City has been recognized by notable accelerators such as TechCrunch Include and Leading Cities, which is a top 5 GovTech accelerator in the world. Aneshai's incredible achievements as a bootstrapped and solo founder are what make her truly exceptional. Her dynamic personality and captivating presentations have made her a highly sought-after and inspiring speaker.

I'm Arul Pushpam, and my journey in the professional world began in 2017. As a woman in this field, I've encountered numerous obstacles along the way. When I first embarked on my journey, I was far from being a proficient programmer. Comparing myself to others led me to believe I was lacking in various aspects. However, this perspective didn't serve me well.

It was at this point that I was fortunate to find a mentor who illuminated the world of technology for me. Concurrently, I discovered Sitecore, a platform that intrigued me with its myriad features. Rather than comparing myself to others, I channeled my energy into learning and growing. Sitecore's capabilities captivated me, motivating me to delve deeper, learn more, and achieve more.

As a result of my dedication, I proudly received my second MVP award this year. This journey has transformed me into a proficient programmer, a YouTuber, a blogger, and an enthusiastic knowledge sharer. I have a genuine passion for learning new features and, equally importantly, for disseminating my technical knowledge to the wider community.

In my spare time, you'll find me eagerly exploring new technologies, refining my skills, and sharing my insights with fellow enthusiasts. I firmly believe that the tech community thrives on collaboration and shared learning. Every day presents new opportunities for growth, and I'm excited to embrace each one with enthusiasm.
