“I’m Suraj Pusarla, Head of Finance at Adonmo and Founder of The Rage Room. Growing up, I was known for my short temper, which often led to broken objects at home and school. My parents, though loving and supportive, never said no to me, which sometimes made things worse. I would get frustrated and lash out, breaking whatever was in my path.

As I grew older, this pattern continued. I would break phones, glasses, and other items when I got angry or frustrated. But I never thought of it as a problem to be solved – just a quirk of my personality.

After my father’s passing in 2018, our family faced financial struggles. But I was determined to turn things around. Drawing inspiration from my entrepreneurial family, I started brainstorming business ideas. That’s when The Rage Room was born.

The concept is simple: a safe space where people can smash and break items in a controlled environment. It’s not about therapy or stress relief – just a fun and unique experience. We source items destined for the scrapheap, and once broken, they’re recycled.

I’ve also had the opportunity to share my vision with a wider audience as a participant on Shark Tank India, where I pitched The Rage Room to a panel of investors. It was a phenomenal experience that taught me valuable lessons about entrepreneurship and adaptability.

My journey has taught me that with hard work and determination, you can turn your quirks into strengths. And now, I’m proud to say that I’ve created a space where others can break free from the ordinary – one smash at a time.”
