Rakesh Pawar is a proud IHM-A alumni from the class of 2007.⠀He is currentlt working as Executive Sous Chef at IHCL (Dubai).

“After graduating from IHM-A, I have gained immense experience in some of the iconic hotels in India with the Taj . I also got the opportunity to travel to a few countries. Working on a cruise was quite challenging but it helped me bring out the best of me and to add to it, seeing an ample quality ingredients was a dream come true. It was my pleasure to be associated with Taj while it was receiving highest accolades for its success. Trattoria won the Best 24 hour Italian Eatery at the prestigious Times Food Award in 2009 and in 2016, Tiqri won the award of the Noteworthy Newcomer at the Times Food Award.⠀

I have evolved in the industry and have now taken up a role internationally. I thank all the IHM-A faculty and team members for shaping our careers and showing us the path to success. A special mention and Heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Satish Jayaram and Mr. Rushad Kavina for keeping the IHM-A flag flying high.”⠀
