PANKAJ GUPTA
Mumbai bred. With experience in the foodgrains and spice trade, he graduated to food fame. Inspired by mom’s magic in the kitchen, he swapped spreadsheets for spice trails. From the buttery love of Oye Kake to the nostalgia-soaked Taftoon and cocktail dreams of CIRQA—now, he’s stirring up something fresh with Kerala Quarters. Always cooking up something new (literally).
