THE IFEA STORY

Innovative Food Entrepreneurs Association (IFEA)

A Dynamic Network of Food, Hospitality and Tourism Professionals

IFEA was founded on 12th July 2017 , a period when many food entrepreneurs were facing the challenges of the GST rollout. Anil Mulchandani envisioned a democratic group of entrepreneurs and professionals that could strengthen communication within the industry and encourage collaboration to achieve various goals. The group was co-founded with Rohit Khanna, Dilip Thakker and Darshan Rawal, each bringing their respective strengths to grow the groups and achieve the objectives.

Following the Pandemic, the founders established an NGO, Culinary Education and Enterprise Development Association (CEED), with the mandate of skill development.
