Work in Progress with Adnan Ghor
Work in Progress with Adnan Ghor is a space for honest conversations with people who are still figuring things out.
Every guest has taken a different path—building a business, changing careers, overcoming setbacks or simply learning through experience. Rather than celebrating the destination, these conversations explore the moments that shaped them along the way.
Behind every achievement is a person, and behind every person is a story. This podcast is about creating the space to hear those stories, because the more we understand one another, the more we learn about ourselves.

Look, Listen, Learn: How Sukh Chamdal Built Cake Box Into a Nationwide Franchise
In this episode of Work in Progress, Adnan Ghor sits down with Sukh Chamdal, CEO of Cake Box and Ambala, to unpack a business story that started with a single eggless birthday cake and grew into a franchise network of over 260 stores supporting approximately 2,000 livelihoods.
Sukh talks candidly about the accidental discovery of franchising, and the leadership lesson that changed everything: stop telling people what to do, start asking their advice.
He explains why 54% of Cake Box franchisees are women, how employee share ownership has built a culture in which staff are genuine stakeholders, and the "red carpet" philosophy behind letting people go with dignity. Throughout, one theme keeps returning: his personal philosophy of Look, Listen, Learn, and the belief that it's never too late to start.
