How to execute multiple commands from a batch file, in windows command prompt, while keeping the command prompt context open?

Question

I want to create a batch file that would execute two commands one after the other, and then keep the CMD window open. The following is what I tried, after some searching on the internet, but only the first command is getting executed. What am I missing?

cmd /k C:\Users\Hp\yolo\test1\.env1\Scripts\activate && cd C:\Users\Hp\yolo\test2

I also tried with just one '&' instead of two, but that doesn't work either. Only the first command gets executed in both cases.

If you read the help file for CMD.exe: Note that multiple commands separated by the command separator are accepted for string if surrounded by quotes. — Squashman

Yes, that. No need to squeeze everything into just one line within a batch file.
