It’s an absolute honour to receive an M.B.E. from King Charles III last week at Buckingham Palace.

2023 - Received M.B.E from King Charles
Setting out for a new chapter to London in May 1993, with only £7, two suitcases filled with handwritten recipes, and a pocketful of dreams, brings me to a moment overflowing with gratitude. The recognition of receiving an MBE from HM King Charles III at Buckingham Palace marks a truly remarkable journey.
This gratitude isn’t confined to my family; it reaches out to the countless individuals who have left their indelible mark on this expedition. From the exhilarating highs to the challenging lows, my wife Rashima and I have navigated through, drawing lessons from not only our cherished guests and loyal team members turned friends but also the resilience built in facing adversities along the way. Each experience is a lesson, a unique chapter in the captivating narrative of this incredible journey.
I owe this honour to the two nations I proudly call home - India, for the foundation it provided, and the UK, for offering the opportunity to ‘See Things Differently’.
Building on my conversation with King Charles III, my upcoming focus is on promoting awareness regarding sustainable approaches to food production and advocating for natural ayurvedic medicine, using ingredients such as turmeric, for its contributions to health and healing.
Feeling deeply humbled, fortunate, and privileged by this honour and the love extended to me over the years. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable chapter.
