Chef Himanshu Saini never played it safe, and in hindsight, we're all luckier for it. Saini's journey reads like the kind of plot that makes biopics irresistible. If anyone needed proof that cumin, cardamom, and creativity could build an empire, Trésind Studio is your answer. With three Michelin stars under his belt at just 38, Chef Himanshu has done what only a select few chefs in the world can boast of. Legendary Chef Joan Roca dubs him “a chef with artistic flair at its finest.” One of India’s top chefs, Manish Mehrotra, lauds him for ‘eloquently reshaping Indian cuisine on the global gastronomic stage.’ And the most visionary Michelin star chef in Dubai, Vladimir Mukhin of Krasota, calls him “a bold visionary, redefining flavours and presentation with a progressive edge.”
