Sanjyot Keer, the culinary virtuoso born on June 16, 1992, is not your typical chef; he’s an Indian gastronomic trendsetter and a digital sensation hailing from the bustling city of Mumbai. Widely recognized as the food producer for “MasterChef India” Season 4, he collaborated with culinary giants like Vikas Khanna, Sanjeev Kapoor, and Ranveer Brar.

However, Keer’s journey extends far beyond the TV screen. In 2016, he founded Your Food Lab (YFL), a Mumbai-based culinary haven that revolutionizes Indian comfort food. From Tandoori Momos to Peri Peri Dosa, his recipes are not just delectable but redefine innovation in the kitchen.

What truly sets Keer apart is his digital charisma. His cooking videos on Facebook and YouTube have become a sensation, amassing millions of views. A notable example is his pizza dosa recipe, which captured 30,000 views within the first 24 hours.

But Keer doesn’t just cater to grown-up taste buds; in 2018, he took a playful turn by launching tiffin-friendly recipes on Your Food Lab Junior, hosted by none other than his adorable five-year-old nephew, Iyan.

Sanjyot Keer’s culinary magic isn’t confined to the kitchen; it’s a digital feast that has earned him a spot among Forbes India’s Tycoons of Tomorrow in 2018. His journey isn’t just about cooking; it’s about transforming kitchens into lively, innovative spaces and making every meal an adventure.

 

Shivesh Bhatia

At 27, Shivesh has not only carved his path through academia, graduating in Political Science from Hindu College, Delhi University, but has also left an indelible mark on the world of desserts and baking.

Shivesh’s love affair with baking ignited during his high school days when, armed with Betty Crocker cake mix, he embarked on his first baking venture—a batch of vanilla cupcakes that, despite a few casualties, sparked an enduring passion. Little did he know that this hobby would evolve into a profound journey.

A wordsmith at heart, Shivesh’s journey began with school days filled with articles for leading newspapers like Hindustan Times and The Hindu. Yet, it was his pivot to the sweet side of life that truly set him on a remarkable course. With a keen eye for style and a love for photography, he captured the hearts of a digital community, turning his Instagram page into a visual feast of delectable treats.

Blogging since December 2014, Shivesh transitioned from a blog to the website ‘Bake With Shivesh,’ where the ethos of creating simple yet stunning recipes remained at its core. His culinary prowess did not go unnoticed, earning him accolades like the Outlook Social Media Award, features in Vogue’s prestigious lists, and CondeNast Traveler India’s Social Media Star of the Year.

But Shivesh’s story doesn’t stop there. In the realm of publishing, he etched his name with not one but three books. “Bake With Shivesh,” his first creation, became an Amazon bestseller, followed by “Desserts For Every Mood” in 2020, and “Eggless Baking With Shivesh” in 2022—a testament to his ever-growing influence in the culinary world.
