About Us
I am a Brooklyn native on a lifelong path of purpose and self-discovery. Like many of us, my journey has been filled with twists and turns, and it ultimately led me to India. In 2021, amidst the chaos of the pandemic, I made a bold leap - leaving behind everything I knew, to start fresh, 8,000 miles away.
​
In that time of deep uncertainty, I chose to do something radically different: to have courage and faith, to lean into change, rediscover joy, and embrace new possibilities.
​
I've always been passionate about creating my own journey and inspriing others to do the same. Whether you're looking to spark growth, cultivate, integrity or simply have fun, there's a place for you here. ​Tune into our podcast, discover yourself on a transformational trip to India or connect on social media. Let's build a community of people committed to being the best version of themselves - ​ With joy and miracles
I was born and raised in the ancient city of Varanasi, also know as Kashi, the City of Light, where life and death coexist on the banks of the Sacred Ganges. This sacred city of Shiva, the great transformer, taught me early on about the cycles of change, transformation and the sacred rhythm of life.
Before the world changed, I worked as a travel associate for many years, guiding Western travelers through the vibrant tapestry of India. During this time, I cultivated a passion for creating mindful travel experiences in India.
​
While travel was suspended during the pandemic, I pivoted to redefining comfort food, combining my culinary roots with creativity and innovation. This journey led to the birth of Kasual Kurry, where I craft Indian-inspired dishes that fuse the familiar warmth of home cooking with bold, globally influenced flavors. As an Indian chef, my mission is to make Indian comfort food accessible, easy to learn, and irresistibly delicious, bringing the soul of India to every kitchen.
