Santosh Chand, on the other hand, honed his skills in the demanding world of hospital catering, where precision, nutrition, and empathy are paramount. With years of managing large-scale operations in healthcare facilities, Santosh developed an unparalleled expertise in crafting wholesome, customized meals under strict standards. His work taught him the art of blending health-conscious cuisine with comforting flavors, ensuring that even in challenging environments, food could heal and delight. Yet, Santosh yearned to infuse his culinary precision into celebratory events that nourished both body and soul.

Completing this dynamic trio is Mahesh Shah, a stalwart in the hotel and restaurant business. Mahesh’s career spanned managing upscale hotels and renowned eateries, where he mastered the intricacies of fine dining, event orchestration, and impeccable service. From orchestrating lavish weddings in grand ballrooms to running bustling restaurants, Mahesh’s flair for creating ambiance and his keen eye for detail turned ordinary gatherings into extraordinary memories. He often reflected on how the warmth of Himalayan hospitality—rooted in tradition, simplicity, and grandeur—could redefine modern events.

The spark that united them ignited during a chance encounter at a national hospitality conference in Lucknow in 2018. Rahul, presenting on eco-tourism in the Himalayas, captivated the audience with tales of pristine mountain retreats. Santosh, attending to explore innovative catering trends, was inspired by Rahul’s emphasis on sustainable, region-specific experiences. Mahesh, moderating a panel on luxury dining, connected instantly with both, sharing stories of how Himalayan spices and traditions had influenced his menus. Over post-conference dinners, conversations flowed about the gaps in the events industry: a need for catering that was not only delicious but also adventurous, health-focused, and culturally immersive.

Realizing their complementary strengths—Rahul’s travel acumen, Santosh’s hygienic and nutritious food expertise, and Mahesh’s finesse in execution—they envisioned a company that could bring the spirit of the Himalayas to every occasion. Whether it’s a corporate retreat echoing mountain serenity, a wedding infused with traditional flavors, or a festival celebrating regional heritage, Himalayan Catering & Events was born from this union in 2019.

Today, under their collective leadership, we specialize in bespoke catering and event management that draws from the timeless allure of the Himalayas. Our menus feature authentic, farm-fresh ingredients sourced from Himalayan regions, prepared with Santosh’s precision and Mahesh’s elegance, while Rahul ensures every event feels like a journey.
