Devika Kumari

I joined IICA 9 years back when the country did not have many options for culinary/bakery programs, it was one of the first of its kind. My time at IICA helped me get a head start into my journey as a professional chef, from there I got the opportunity to intern with The Oberoi Gurgaon which was an invaluable experience for me. I have had the opportunity to work with The Oberoi Gurgaon and The Leela Palace New Delhi for a few years. 4 years back I started my own venture, an artisanal Boulangerie and patisserie in Gurgaon called Project Sweet Dish, with the aim of changing the way desserts and breads are consumed in the country. It's been a very gratifying and humbling journey so far and I am excited to see what the future holds.
