Resigning from SodaBottleOpenerWala, Anahita Dhondy plans to start an exclusive curation of food and beverage services.

Anahita Dhondy recently resigns from SodaBottleOpenerWala to start an exclusive curation of food and beverage services. 

Speaking about her passion for the profession, Dhondy said, “As a kid, I used to bother my mother with all my queries. Later on, I happily realized my growing attraction to this profession of being a chef, breaking free from the apprehensions of pursuing a career in a male-dominated industry."

After completing a Cordon Bleu Grand Diplome in London, Dhondy returned to India, and collaborated with veteran restaurateur A.D. Singh to launch the first SodaBottleOpenerWala in New Delhi in 2013. Now Chef-Partner at the branch, Dhondy has seen the expansion of the chain, promoting her native Parsi cuisine. A passionate cook since the age of 10, Dhondy continues to be very active within the Indian culinary scene. She has won several awards, including the Young Chef India award and the Times Food Award. She has also worked on an all-women cooking TV show aired on Living Foodz called “Femme Foodies”.
