Profile

Chef Sanjeev Kapoor remains one of the most recognisable faces in Indian food television, decades after Khana Khazana hit popularity in the 1990s. Kapoor, who co-owns the TV channel FoodFood and cookware brand Wonderchef, attracts a host of brand endorsements. He also has his own app, website, YouTube channel and most recently, an Amazon Alexa skill. "What excites me now is not to create a dish or a menu, but to see what I can do with machine learning and artificial intelligence in cooking, exploring voice-enabled cook-alongs that get better and more predictive as you use them," he told Forbes India in a recent interview.
