You expanded The Chocolate Spoon Company to over 15 outlets and two central kitchens in Mumbai and Pune — all within a decade! How did you go about this mammoth task? It’s been quite the journey! It’s funny because when I first registered the company name, the idea was always to be patisserie specific. Restaurants were never part of the plan. But once I saw the property that became The Sassy Spoon in Nariman Point, Mumbai, I knew I wanted to create something that married food and dessert. I was hooked! It’s a highly energetic field where you’re constantly learning and unlearning and encouraged to think out of the box. It’s been a combination of passion, creativity, ambition, a little bit of madness and an appetite for risk. For people like me who get bored easily, I can’t think of a better profession to be in!
How did you come up with the ‘sassy’ concept? ‘Sassy’ has always been an honest concept. The idea was to serve my personality on a plate, rather than try to mimic others. It’s amazing how today, almost everyone calls me Ms. Sassy and says the brand was aptly named after me. I guess when you stay true to who you are, it reflects in other things. The brand’s evolved over time, reflecting how I’ve grown as a person.
