We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Vishal Sharma. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Vishal below.

Vishal, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.

well the journey of Chef Connect India started on the balcony of an aribnb where I resided when i was visiting my friends, it was a middle of the night we were all craving for food with good taste but since being midnight everything was closed .That’s when one of my friend told about the service that was available in the country where he worked, that there is a provider who provides chef to cook yummy and delicious food at the comfort of their house. During this conversation it made me realize that some thing like this does not exist in Indian market.thats when i started the company Chef Connect India , and my first client was Alia Bhatt . since this specific type of model did not exist in the Indian market and so if this model existed in the Indian market where the youth strength is high and the youth which is always open to do experiment and try out new things. This model solves the manpower issues faced in the hotel industry since we provide chefs to both business and clients directly. Since we are concentrating on a wide aspects of the business. The most exiting part of this idea that got me excited is that the hospitality industry is very unpredictable and very challenging , since I like to face challenges and problem solving.

Vishal, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Chef Connect is the name of the brand that I finalized because my brand is trying to connect chef from all around the country its like a linked in to chef where they can be listed. We are in the process of creating an application where all the chef’s can show the portfolio and display their task. well our business is trying to cater the both business and customer. where we provide manpower solutions to all the restaurants ,cafes ,hotels and also individuals client like Hrithik Roshan and Alia Bhat

What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?

i had to un learn how to do research and had to re learn a new method of research and give more importance about research since coming from the background where i did sales and marketing the research was way different from the whole product ,and overall market research

What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?

the most important thing why I wanted to start this enterprise is to reach all the middle class market since that is the major economy class present in India , so that even the middle class people can also afford the gourmet cooking and all other international food at the comfort of their home , and trying to bring a smile on the face of everyone. even trying to fulfill the manpower requirement in the hospitality industry.
