Chirag Chhajer — Co-Founder
As a co-founder of Burma Burma, India’s first and finest Burmese restaurant, I am deeply passionate about crafting extraordinary culinary encounters that go beyond cultural boundaries. Alongside my childhood friend, Ankit Gupta, we turned our youthful aspirations of owning an establishment into reality by bringing the flavours of Burma to India. As a food enthusiast, I have explored diverse cuisines and cultures through food. To me, food is not just about taste, but also about the narratives, emotions, and memories that are intertwined with it. We utilise Burma Burma as a canvas to express the rich heritage of Burma through its food, culture, and the sheer joy of a social activity like dining. Drawing inspiration from my travels and experiences, I constantly strive to create one-of-a-kind dining experiences for our patrons. I am thrilled about the journey of Burma Burma thus far and the opportunity to create authentic and unforgettable culinary adventures for food enthusiasts all across the country. Let's connect and explore potential collaborations to further expand the reach of Burma Burma and share the delights of Burmese vegetarian cuisine with the world! Outside of BB, I am also Director of a textile manufacturing company founded by my father, so I am a 2nd generation family businessman. Having been into multiple businesses for over 15 years now, I have been giving back to budding entrepreneurs with my mentorship on setting up and scaling new gen businesses. DMs are open!
