My journey with food began at 12 in Mumbai, when curiosity led me to cook my first dish. What started as a personal passion grew into a career in food writing, contributing to leading lifestyle and luxury publications in India and abroad. Along the way, I explored kitche-ns and bars across the world, learning from acclaimed chefs and mixologists, and deepening my appreciation for global culinary culture.
This passion gave rise to Nonchalant Gourmand, a space where I share stories, recipes, and experiences that make fine food ap-proachable and drinks memorable.
Beyond writing, I work as a culinary consultant, helping restaurants and F&B brands with menu design, concept creation, recipe dev-elopment, PR, and social media strategy. My collaborations span global names like Moët Hennessy, Land Rover, BMW, Kellogg’s, and Ardmore Single Malt, as well as culinary projects with Yauatcha, Ishaara, and The White Owl. I also co-founded and directed Imli, Los Angeles, and conceptualized ventures like Biryani360 in Mumbai.
With a strong interest in sustainability through my work with Shop for Change, I continue to blend culture, cuisine, and creativity—building food experiences that inspire, connect, and delight.
