My journey began with a passion for sharing the rich flavors of Indian spices, which evolved into a successful portfolio of restaurants celebrating my vibrant heritage.

My work extends beyond food; I am committed to empowering immigrants, refugees, and women. Throughout my career, I have received numerous awards and served on various boards, advocating for initiatives that foster growth and opportunity.

One of my proudest accomplishments is founding the RISE Culinary Institute, a non-profit organization that provides free culinary training to refugee and immigrant women from low-income families. This initiative equips these talented individuals with essential skills and opportunities to thrive.

With my passion for food and entrepreneurship, I aim to inspire my community. My diverse ventures enrich the culinary landscape while creating pathways for women to pursue their dreams. A supportive community where women uplift one another and succeed in business is not just a vision; it is a reality.

After two decades of success in corporate and entrepreneurial industries, I discovered my true calling: purpose-driven entrepreneurship or Soulpreneurship

Embracing soulpreneurship has transformed my entrepreneurial journey, allowing my work to align deeply with my soul’s purpose. It’s about creating a business that reflects my passions and values, enabling me to thrive while making a meaningful impact on the world. By intertwining my professional endeavors with my heart’s true calling, I have found joy in every twist and turn of my path. This new perspective has opened up possibilities for me to align my passions with my purpose, turning struggles into triumphs and helping me cultivate a life filled with clarity, direction, and inner peace.
