Ever since he was a child, Harsh’s life has revolved around food. Passionate about hospitality having grown up and worked around the world exposed Harsh to a wide range of cultures leading to him co-founding multiple award-winning bars and restaurants – 8 creATEive (Amalfitana, Rummin’ Tings, Fratelli), Fatty Crab and The Pontiac (Asia’s 50 Best Bars for 5 years in a row) in

Harsh earned his BSc in International Hospitality Management from École Hôtelière de Lausanne and worked his way up from bottom up as a dishwasher, to waiter and a cook at leading hotels in Switzerland, Italy and India prior to graduating. The experiences lead to his appointment as Director of Sales and Marketing at the multi-award winning Sonevas in the Maldives. Harsh relocated to Thailand to work closely with the Chairman & CEO of Six Senses selling multi-million dollar villas in his role as Director of Residential Villa Sales and eventually moved to Singapore as GM Client Relations at luxury property fund 135 DEGREES.
