22 years, 12 kitchens, 3 countries

A progressive, result oriented and highly adaptable culinary professional with more than twenty years of experience across India and Canada, specialising in Indian, international and contemporary global cuisines.

I am recognised for leading high performance kitchen brigades, driving profitable operations and delivering guest experiences across restaurants, boutique hotels, lounges and high volume outlets.

Known for strong leadership, hands on training and the ability to build cohesive teams, I bring deep expertise in menu engineering, food cost control, kitchen operations, HACCP standards and multi outlet management. My background includes pre opening and operational leadership, designing innovative menus, and raising culinary standards through modern technique and disciplined execution.

My strengths span Indian regional cuisine, modern fusion, Mediterranean, Italian, Asian, healthy spa cuisine, fresh pasta, grills, tandoor and contemporary appetizers. I have managed kitchens ranging from twenty to one hundred staff, overseen multi unit operations and consistently delivered high guest satisfaction alongside strong financial results.

Currently based in Calgary, I continue to bring creativity, discipline and a guest focused mindset to every culinary environment I lead.
