How It All Started
My interest in food technology began at CFTRI, where I studied product formulation, food safety and technological advancements. With 15+ years of experience, I have collaborated with startups, established businesses and MNCs to develop innovative products.
Bringing International Expertise to Every Project
Having worked across multiple continents, I understand that food businesses face unique challenges based on regional regulations, consumer preferences, and supply chain constraints. This global perspective allows me to tailor solutions that align with both local market demands and international food safety standards.
My professional experience spans India, Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique, Ghana and the Netherlands, where I’ve contributed to the success of multinational corporations and regional brands alike. Working with Britannia, Unilever, National Foods Zimbabwe, and MEREC Mozambique, I’ve led projects that focus on:
- Developing high-quality, consumer-centric food products that resonate with diverse markets.
- Implementing efficient manufacturing practices that optimize costs while ensuring product excellence.
- Navigating complex regulatory frameworks to ensure smooth market entry and long-term compliance.
How It All Started
From Passion to Global Expertise in Food Technology
My career began with a passion for food and an interest in technology, but it was my education at CFTRI that shaped my expertise in product development, quality assurance, and market-driven innovation. Early in my career, I worked on formulating new food products, optimizing manufacturing processes, and ensuring compliance with food safety regulations.
As I gained experience, I realized that many food entrepreneurs and businesses struggled with bridging the gap between product concept and successful market launch. Many lacked the technical knowledge to develop shelf-stable, compliant, and consumer-friendly products—and that’s where I found my calling.
Over the years, I have had the privilege to mentor startups, consult for multinational brands, and lead groundbreaking innovations in the food industry. My work has helped businesses:
- Launch market-winning products in competitive food segments.
- Optimize production lines for efficiency and cost reduction.
- Ensure regulatory compliance while maintaining innovation & quality.
Food technology is not just about scientific expertise—it’s about understanding consumer psychology, business strategy, and supply chain dynamics. That’s why my approach is holistic, ensuring that my clients not only create great products but also build sustainable and scalable food businesses.
