Neha Arya Sethi – Sweetish House Mafia

SHM's founder, Neha Arya Sethi, completed her degree in Finance from Wharton Business School in 2007, proceeded to work as an investment banker in New York for a year, and, thanks to the market crash in 2008, lost her job and came back home to Mumbai.

While trying to figure out what work to do (she had lost her appetite for finance) she baked on the side and fed her family and friends. Over one random dinner conversation, her friends persuaded her to sell her baked goods using social media as her marketing tool and that's how SHM was born. It started in April 2013 out of the back of a Tata Nano with delivery details given on Facebook and Twitter and it spread like wildfire. Today Neha, along with her partner, Aakash Sethi, have opened 4 stores of mouth-watering, freshly baked cookies across the city with plans to open many more.

Rohan Mangalokar - Pack A Pav

Pack-a-Pav is the brainchild of Rohan Mangalorkar, an ardent foodie and co-founder of the popular e-commerce website Propshop24.com. In his time off from work, Mangalorkar potters around in the kitchen whipping-up quick and easy recipes that typically involve bread, meat, and inventive condiments.

Pack-a-Pav debuted at the Tapped Craft Beer Festival held in Colaba in November. Mangalorkar has deliberately chosen food that is simple, has a wide audience, and is most importantly delicious and decidedly Indian. To him, a bun presents endless possibilities, which he intends to explore through Pack-a-Pav.
