Ankit Gupta
Founder

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!
