1.Tell us about your idea of creating wellness through food?

What you choose to eat has profound effects on your overall health. Many nutrients in food promote health and protect your body from disease. The modern medicine offers quick remedies which in long term can be harmful.

I am practising Natural therapy treatment for the last 17 years. I don't use modern medicine. My food and lifestyle is also based on natural ways.

2. How do you implement this idea to our society?

I intend to build a society which doesn't depend on modern medicine. For that we have to transform our kitchen in to a wellness centre. Person who cooks becomes the doctor. I envision a world without the use of modern medicine by increasing the immunity through the food you consume. In 15 countries I was able to build a community through Whatsapp groups to spread this idea.

3. How did you started your career?

Cooking has always been a passion for me. That passion motivated me to participate in various cooking competitions. I had the opportunity to participate  and  have also won various cooking competitions across UAE. I hold the expertise of conducting and judging  more than 100+ cooking competitions. I was also a part of cooking reality show 'Melam Markkatha Swad' telecasted on Flowers TV.

4. What made you choose the wellness sector?

I always experiment new things in my lifre. I am very passionate in cooking. But nowadays food is creating lots of bad effects in our human health. So its our duty to protect the health wellbeing of our society. Thus I started preparing organic food items which not only safeguards our health but serve as a good nutrition health supplement. His is how we developed the brand, Resis!

5. Tell us more about Resis?

For the past 17 Years, I am actively engaged in developing organic food products which is high in quality standards. From our ancient Indian scriptures and from my research i got so many powerful recipes. So now we are planning to distribute these food products under the brand of Resis. We will serve quality spices, wide varieties of food products etc through Resis. I am very sure that our products will fight against lifestyle diseases like diabetics, thyroid etc. So people will be healthier than ever before.

6. What was the story behind opening a restaurant?

With the aim of serving quality food to our customers, I started a restaurant titled ' Dhalchini ' in 2014. The restaurant serves exquisite Kerala and Indian cuisine. We also conduct various cooking competitions under the banner of our restaurant.
