“Gastronomy is the best therapy” - Marco Pierre White
I met my mentor (Chef Thiru) and somehow convinced my family to support my decision of following my dream. After 3 years of culinary school there is nothing in the world, I can think of, that can give me the satisfaction I get from being able to live my dream and make a profession out of it. Wise and supportive people always told me that if you have passion you can excel effortlessly, which I came to believe only after I got selected for the Kitchen Management Trainee Program at ITC-HMI. After 7 years at some of the top hotels. I felt this burning need to change the system of how food is grown, perceived and consumed in our society. I needed to be a part of the solution. My inclination and curiosity got me involved in this project and there has been no looking back since. |
Born and brought up and educated in Delhi, I started my career in Hotels, working my way upto the sales department, which I realised was my true calling. After heading the sales for many small and mid sized properties for 6 years, I ventured out on my own entrepreneurial journey. I was part of the core team of HOI foods and played a vital role in the B2B customer acquisitions in the NCR region, which gave me my first experience of building and managing a large operation. My experience with on ground sales and working with limited resources to grow a business allowed me to excel in the role. I managed and operated 3 small hotels, for the next 2 years and then took a break to take care of my ailing mother. I love to travel and am an ardent animal lover. |
