MUMBAI: Sodexo India On-site Services announced that it has signed an agreement with celebrity Chef Ajay Chopra, an acclaimed and popular name in the Indian culinary industry. As part of this tie-up, Chef Chopra will share his expertise to enhance the food service experience of clients and consumers at various Sodexo-managed accounts in the corporate and education segments.

In India, Sodexo touches the lives of 1 million consumers every day at more than 1200 client locations, delivering quality of life services. Chef Chopra brings with him years of experience in the restaurant and hotel industry having worked with the finest brands of five star hotels. His work experience includes short stints with some of the most sought after names in the culinary world like Gordon Ramsay and Angela Hartnett.

With this association, Sodexo's consumers in corporate offices, and students and staff in schools and universities, will experience new culinary adventures. On the client sites, Chef Chopra will showcase signature recipes and menus from his repertoire, conduct cooking demos, share industry best practices and tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle without sacrificing flavour. He will work closely with Sodexo's own brigade of chefs to add a new dimension to their existing development program. This will both strengthen their overall expertise and give Sodexo consumers a chance to experience five-star food service in their offices and help boost the meal-time experience for students.
