OUR TEAM
Food has always been Ankit’s first love. Growing up with his mom, Nini, who whipped up the best Dilli-style North Indian dishes, it was only a matter of time before he brought that passion to life. Though he started in the family business, his heart was set on creating something of his own—enter Nini’s! The rest, as they say, is a delicious history!
Dentist by profession, teacher by passion, and entrepreneur by (happy) accident—Navneet wears many hats, and she rocks them all! She’s the creative force behind Nini’s, making sure every detail reflects the brand’s soul. With a knack for content creation and an eye for perfection, she brings Nini’s to life, one idea at a time. Simply put, Nini’s wouldn’t be Nini’s without her!

With an eagle eye for kitchen hygiene and SOPs, he ensures that everything runs smoothly and safely. When he’s not whipping up delicious dishes, you can bet he’s busy making sure the kitchen is in tip-top shape!
