Growing up in a business-oriented family and inspired by my grandmother's cooking, I envisioned merging entrepreneurship with culinary arts. The vibrant spices of India shaped my childhood, leading me to pursue a career as a chef by Grade 9. My culinary journey began in 1999 after graduating from the Institute of Hotel Management in New Delhi, starting as a kitchen trainee at Hyatt Regency and eventually becoming Executive Chef at The Taj Hotel. Over 26 years, I learned from top chefs while working with renowned brands like Marriott and Fairmont Hotels.
Fueled by my entrepreneurial spirit, I launched a food venture in Greater Kailash 1 Market, blending traditional Indian flavors with modern presentation. I had the honor of cooking for notable figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and various Bollywood stars. My culinary path expanded in Scotland, where I deepened my appreciation for European cuisine. In 2014, I moved to Vancouver, Canada, earning my Canadian Red Seal Chef certification and establishing my catering company, GJ’s Kitchen. I had the privilege of cooking for prominent figures like former Defence Minister Jason Kenney, with my work featured in The Times of Canada and the Asian Journal.
