People in India are increasingly embracing international flavours, creating a high demand for expat chefs to cater to culinary events featuring cuisines such as Italian, Mexican, Spanish, Chinese, French, Thai and more.
The number of luxury hotels in India, including five-star establishments, has witnessed a remarkable increase and have almost doubled in past few years. With the increase in globalisation and growth of travel industry, Indian consumers have developed a discerning palate, capable of identifying even a single missing ingredient in global cuisines. To cater to their demand, specialised expatriate chefs are being brought in. The rise of premium hotels and luxury food startup’s across India has led to these expat chefs being generously compensated and receiving a warm welcome.
The hotel managers emphasise that these expatriate chefs are not merely confined to the kitchen and are more akin to “Culinary Artists” who engage with guests while cooking. Their involvement extends beyond culinary expertise, and they are expected to interact with guests. In addition to the chefs, there is also a high demand for expatriates with expertise in areas such as one sommelier, beverage brand ambassadorship, pastry chefs and tea sommelier.
