Amit Kumar Balecha — CEO

Global Food Industry Leader | Strategic Innovator | Export Excellence | Brand Builder I Writer I Start-Up Mentor With over two decades of experience in the international food industry, I specialize in creating scalable, culturally resonant food brands that bridge tradition with modernity. My career is defined by my ability to lead cross-border expansions, forge global trade partnerships, and champion innovation in product development and packaging, particularly within the Indian ethnic food segment. I hold a strong academic foundation in International Business Strategy, Trade, and Economics, supported by an Executive Postgraduate Diploma from the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT) and a Master’s in International Business. My published research explores the rising opportunities for Indian processed foods in global markets — a subject I continue to actively champion through industry forums and business initiatives. Over the years, I’ve built extensive networks across the UAE, North America, UK, APAC, and Africa, delivering successful collaborations with leading retailers, distributors, and institutional partners. My work combines deep cultural understanding with export compliance expertise, enabling Indian-origin brands to thrive internationally. Driven by the vision “Thoda Sa Bharat Har Plate Mein” (A taste of India in every plate), I believe that food is a powerful vehicle of culture, nostalgia, and innovation. My passion lies in turning regional Indian flavours into globally loved experiences, while supporting local ecosystems, co-founders, and young entrepreneurs along the way.
