To put forth a little bit about myself, I love food and have tried some of the rarest and most delicious of foods that there is. My wife is a delightful cook who can cook multicultural cuisines and so it is fair to say I am used to good food. Now it all started when she had to visit India for 6 months during her pregnancy. On a lighter note, I missed her food more than I missed her, do not tell her I said that, but food was beginning to become a huge concern because I was tired of restaurant food on daily basis, and I had become gassy and bloated, so I thought of searching for home mess or a cook who could make healthy home cooked food. But to my surprise all these facilities or individuals were not to my expectations in terms of hygiene, legality and moreover it was monotonous food, they were no variety whatsoever.

So, I started to wonder that this must be a global issue, and our prelaunch survey confirmed it with way higher numbers than expected.

I believe good food can bring out the best in people, it sure does in me. So, I wanted to provide a service which would work like genie out of a bottle, just ask for any kind of food and would be served to you with utmost hospitality in the comfort of your own home. That is how Instachef’ ‘came to life, it is a necessity, happiness, comfort, and luxury all at the same time. And since I called it a service it had to be affordable as well.

So, we promise to satisfy your taste buds and keep you and your family healthy while you devour our best multi-cuisine from one of the best chefs in the country all this without burning a hole in your pockets.

I'm passionate about two things - cricket and food. I started my career as a cricketer and played for a while until personal reasons led me to leave the sport. But that's when I discovered my love for food and decided to pursue it as a career. And it's been an amazing journey so far!

Over the past 10 years, I've gained a wealth of experience in the food industry, working in sales and marketing, and building relationships with people from all walks of life. I've always been a people person, and that's been a big part of my success in the industry. I believe that connecting with customers and colleagues is key to building strong partnerships that last.

As a professional in the food industry, my top priority is delivering the highest quality service to customers. I take pride in my work and strive to exceed expectations every time. And I'm always looking for ways to learn and grow.

So that's a little bit about me and my journey in the food industry. I'm excited to see what the future holds and to continue pursuing my passions every day.
