As observed by his mother, at the age of 4-5, he started getting used to kitchen utensils and had started watching the way his mother added different spices to their meals. His interest grew more as he started trying different sorts of spices and sauces. As he grew older, he gained an apprenticeship from 5 star hotels across North India.Later, he was invited from many hotels in China to promote his Indian food and was offered to work as a head chef, leading a staff of 30. Apart from cooking, he had been able to explore other countries in Asia, including Malaysia, Nepal, Hong Kong. A day came when he met his friends from Auckland, who urged him to come to NZ,as he had the cooking skills to help him get a job.
