Let me give you a little history. I wanted to start restaurant and I assumed that its going to be easy as I am a qualified hotelier certified by Govt. of India, but believe me that’s not good enough to be a successful restaurentuer. Way back in 2002 I decided to take a chance and start an Indian restaurant in delhi, I tried to raise enough money and convince enough people to back me in my Restaurant & Wine Bar, which was going to be part of a small retail complex in the middle of delhi.
I won’t go into too much detail, but needless to say, it failed becoz of many reasons primarily bad cash management and bad assumptions. The bad news was, my business partner and I paid a nice chunk of money regarding the start-up that never got started (prospectus, business plans, deposits, etc.) The good news was, I earned valuable life and business experience. However I was in great trouble and I decided to start again and started preparing for MBA entrance, but the chef inside me kept alive day in and day out I dream about the project that I will start again.
June 2006 joined NMIMS Mumbai batch of 06-08 MBA in finally I was doing what others wanted me to do not what I wanted to do, and this is the first time it happened. I am still working on my dream project and will keep updating about the plans and share my views on different cooking styles. Cuisines and recipies……..
Cheers!
