Adi’s culinary adventure began in India, where he honed his skills at Marriott Hotels in Mumbai and Taj Hotels in New Delhi. In 2016, he moved to Melbourne and earned an Advanced Diploma in Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu. Melbourne’s dynamic food scene drew him in, leading to roles at Petit Tracteur, Jackalope, Pt. Leo Estate, and a brief stint at Gaggan in Bangkok. During the 2020 pandemic, Adi launched Kesar, a take-home meal service offering Indian-inspired dishes with a weekly changing menu. The enthusiastic response from the Mornington Peninsula community inspired him to restart this journey with his wife.

Geetan transitioned from fashion design in India to patisserie in Australia. She studied hospitality management at Le Cordon Bleu Melbourne and gained experience at prestigious venues like Noisette, Grossi Florentino, Cacao, Morning Market, and Pt. Leo Estate. These experiences gave her the expertise and confidence to co-found Kesar.
