Knowing how to cook is the beginning. Learning how to lead is what takes you further.
Today at IHM Mumbai, Asia’s oldest hotel management school, I shared my experience of the real world of Food & Beverage: growing from a cook into a chef manager, leading teams, managing multiple restaurants, and building a career with direction and ambition.
An honest conversation about the responsibilities, difficult decisions, and mindset behind success and what it takes to earn your place in this industry.
What made the day special was the students themselves. Bright, curious, engaged, and full of promise. Their questions and energy reminded me how much potential is sitting in these classrooms, ready to become the next generation of chefs and hospitality leaders.
Sharing what I’ve learned along my journey and seeing that hunger to grow is something I’m proud to be part of.
Thank you to IHM Mumbai and every student who joined today. Keep learning, aim high, and turn that potential into something extraordinary. 🇮🇹🤝🇮🇳
