“We’ll be friends forever.” That notable quote from A.A. Milne’s “Winnie-the-Pooh” sums up how Kitchen United CEO Atul Sood approaches life and business.

Friendship is paramount to success, even more so in the social media era.

Atul Sood (@atulnow) places a unique emphasis on the power of friendships as a driving force for both his personal and professional success.

He “assumes friendship” upon first meeting someone. For him, friendships mean respect, trust, and love, while transcending the boundaries of work.

“When you work with your friends, it doesn’t feel like work.” Atul Sood shares with friend and host Shawn P. Walchef (@shawnpwalchef) of Cali BBQ Media (https://calibbq.media).

“You can have intimate conversations about life choices and mistakes and ambitions, and you can share things that you generally don’t share with people who you work with. And that’s nice. That’s the point of life to me."

Taking a step beyond conventional professional engagement, Atul Sood actively engages with his audience through social media. He shares insights not only about Kitchen United, but also about industry developments and personal experiences.

When interacting as a consumer, he intentionally leaves meaningful comments on posts, recognizing the importance of building relationships beyond the confines of his own content and adding value by doing so.

As he explains, “I engage outside of my wall, and that’s important, too, because there are other people who are building content. And the way the algorithm works If I comment, it broadens the reach."
