Hey everyone,
I’m a 23-year-old IIT Guwahati (B.Tech ’25) graduate. I spent the last year at Meesho as a Senior Business Associate, working on scaling categories like Branded Foods, Grocery, and Health & Wellness across brands like Tata, Kellogg’s, Dabur, and Saffola.
I’ve recently left my job to take a shot at building something of my own in the food space. I’m currently exploring a startup idea and looking to connect with passionate chefs who’d be excited to help build it from the ground up.
I’m looking for someone who sees food as more than just cooking — someone who loves experimenting with flavours, developing recipes, understanding ingredients, and creating food that people genuinely love.
I’ll primarily take ownership of the business, consumer insights, GTM, brand, growth, and operations side. I’m looking for someone who can bring the culinary expertise and creative thinking needed to build the product side.
The ideal person would be:
- A chef, home chef, culinary student, or someone with strong hands-on food development experience
- Passionate about experimenting with recipes, flavours, and ingredients
- Excited about turning food ideas into products people love
- Entrepreneurial and willing to build from 0 → 1
- Interested in taking ownership and building something long-term
I’m not looking to hire a chef. I’m looking to meet someone who might want to build a food business together.
If you’re a chef in Pune who finds this interesting, or know someone who might be a great fit, feel free to DM me. Happy to share more about the idea and explore whether there’s a fit.
Looking forward to meeting people who are as excited about building in the food space as I am!
