I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.-------Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShowwConnect with Siddhartha on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthaahluwalia/Twitter: https://x.com/siddharthaa7-------This video is for informational purposes only.

"Sophisticated Fun" is the mantra for Chef Michael Mignano, Executive Chef/Culinary Director at The Pierre, a Taj Hotel. Since 1930, this iconic hotel has defined "timeless New York City luxury," and Auguste Escoffier was the opening chef and designer of the original kitchen. Chef Mignano continues this outstanding legacy of luxury and hospitality at The Pierre. To honor and celebrate Karl Lagerfeld during the most recent Met Gala, Chef Mignano prepared exquisite amenities for the guests. After much research, Mignano discovered that Lagerfeld thought that buttered toast was the ultimate in luxury. Mignano creatively included a miniature toast with a side of French butter in the dish. Hospitality is effervescent at The Pierre, not only to guests but to fellow co-workers. Many staff members have worked at The Pierre for their whole career, including Chef Santiago, the most senior culinary staff member Chef Santiago who has worked at The Pierre since 1981. Chef Mignano learned at an early age from Chef David Bouley that an executive chef should know every aspect of preparing a meal in case someone doesn't show up. Chef Mignano is probably one of the only chefs who can prepare a savory banquet for 400 guests while perfecting a wedding cake at the same time.

Welcome to the new Kitchen Chat series called A Taste of Luxury, History and Hospitality. In this first episode, we will visit The Pierre New York, A Taj Hotel. This iconic place has defined luxury and hospitality since 1930 in New York City.

As a frequent guest of the hotel and a member of Les Dames d'Escoffier, I wanted to learn more about The Pierre. Here is the video link to this special Kitchen Chat https://youtu.be/DLuiEpx0Nrg

I am proud to present Chef Amninder Sandhu in the latest episode of #FoodocracyForHer. Amninder Sandhu was a science student and a very good one at that. Her father's dream of her becoming a doctor lying at the back of her mind. One day, while playing around with test tubes in the lab, epiphany struck her. It is cooking that she had always loved. What was she doing in a science class?! She joined IHM Aurangabad and began the journey towards living life the way she wanted it to be. She worked in the Taj Hotel chain, went independent and ran restaurants such as Aarth first and then delivery kitchens ('I do not like the term 'dark' kitchen. Our kitchens were very bright') such as Iktaara in collaboration with others before she went completely independent with her chef based wedding catering company, Bliss Foods, and recently launched delivery kitchens in Mumbai and Pune - Ammu Delivery and Barfi & Sons. 'All parts of a jigsaw puzzle that I am looking to complete,' she says. What kept her going through good and bad and these very diverse working environments is her pure love for cooking. Thanks to which she won many accolades both in India and abroad. To know more about this fabulous chef who was pushing the envelope when it came to presenting Indian food even before it became trendy, watch this episode where the normally reticent chef Amninder speaks from her heart.

In today's conversation, Andy talks with Ashfer Biju, the executive chef and food and beverage director at the iconic The Pierre, A Taj Hotel in New York City, responsible for all things culinary. To Ashfer, however, he's more than his official job title; he's a self-proclaimed “crafter of perishable art.” After growing up in a small fishing town in India, Ashfer discovered his passion for food as a child and was driven to share his love with others ever since. With his entire family working in the restaurant industry in some fashion, Ashfer quickly dove into the hospitality industry and helped launch a vegetarian restaurant in India when he was only 18. He studied hospitality and pursued a degree at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, California. Soon after, Ashfer traveled to open restaurants around the world, from Berkeley to Mauritius and the Maldives. By 2009, when he had already opened numerous hotels and restaurants, the time for Ashfer to move to New York City had come. Not surprisingly, Manhattan ended up being far more than the mere short-term piece of a working travel circuit as he'd expected; Ashfer found his calling in what he considers one of the three "maximum food cities" of New York, London, and Hong Kong. Extending beyond his current work at The Pierre, Ashfer and Andy delve into the “extreme form of art” that is food, the importance of food's personalization in weddings, why food is an experience at heart, and even why turmeric is “the next kale.” After their conversation, Andy had the opportunity to experience Ashfer's food firsthand through a tasting at Perrine in The Pierre. Read about his experience below the links. Links Instagram Twitter Pinterest The Pierre, A Taj Hotel Foods That Heal by Bernard Jensen A Life in Balance by Kathleen Hall Babette's Feast (IMDB) (Trailer) "Following the interview, Ashfer was kind enough to offer me a multi-course tasting in The Pierre's onsite restaurant, Perrine. The setting, it provided, was a perfect location for such a culinary endeavor. I proceeded to be served seven different dishes and I had to fight hard not to consume every drop and morsel in order to save room for it all! Each dish was presented beautifully, as shown in the pics, and I had to take a moment with each one just to take in the visual aspect."
#36 – Growing up in New Delhi in her native India, Shelly's family had a lot of say in the career path she chose. Despite that, Shelly was committed to working in the hospitality industry and pushed back against her family's concerns. When she was accepted into the Institute of Hotel Management in Gangtok, her father relented, and off she went. An internship at the Taj Mahal Hotel led to a career in the Food and Beverage department at other luxury hotels like The Imperial, serving clients like Angelina Jolie and Bill Clinton. Then, when her father's business was struggling, Shelly made the choice to take a job through a J-1 visa in the United States, but it ended up not being the financial success she was hoping for. Back in India, she began to shift towards working with more mid-range hotels until she was offered an opportunity to work for a hotel brand that spun off from Taj Hotel brand where she got her start. By then, Shelly had worked her way up to the role of Director of Sales and Marketing and was expanding her skillset far beyond making a mean martini.When her work environment started to shift, which began to affect her health and social life, Shelly began to consider what the future of her career would look like. Reflecting back on a plan she had if money wasn't an issue, she began to be interested in teaching Sales and Marketing to others. Knowing that would be a difficult path to forge in India, and having a younger sibling attending post-secondary education in Canada, a move overseas seemed like the right choice. Needing to renew some education before applying for Master's programs, Shelly enrolled at Seneca College and it was there where she found a whole new passion; a passion that is now leading her down a different career path.What is she doing now?

In this first episode of our third series, we talk to Hemant Oberoi. One of India’s best-known chefs, Hemant has cooked for world leaders, Bollywood and Hollywood stars. He is also a man who, when crisis came to his door at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai, reacted with a level of courage and selflessness that’s almost impossible to comprehend. In our conversation Hemant talks us through what happened in the terror attacks of 2008 – a few days of horror that left hundreds dead and injured. Thanks to the heroics of Hemant and the staff a significant number of guests at the Taj were saved from certain death at the hands of Islamic terrorists. In the process seven of Hemant’s staff were killed. It is only fate that prevented Hemant from being one of them. A visceral story of how crisis can bring out the very best in humanity when confronted with the very worst.Hemant’s Crisis Cures:1. Intuition and the gut feelings first. My intuition never fails me. When I don’t follow it, things go wrong for me one way or the other. It’s the gut feeling - I listen to my inner voice and that’s the way.2. I think one should be a team leader in a different way. You should be like a pyramid in life. Sometimes the top is down and sometimes the bottom is up. That way you can take the load off others in life.3. Help others as much as you can. Because you never know when you’ll need it.Links:Hemant Oberoi Restaurant: https://hemantoberoi.com/ Episode notes:It’s not often that a Hollywood dramatization plays down the real horror of a story. But Hotel Mumbai – the powerful re-telling of the Mumbai attacks – is not a movie that tells the full truth of what happened in November 2008. During my conversation with Hemant he revealed aspects of that nightmarish few days that left me stunned. The film ends movingly with a fictitious character (played brilliantly by Dev Patel) returning exhausted to his relieved family. In reality Hemant did just the same, once he’d secured the safety of his guests. Still wearing his bloodied chef’s outfit, he walked through his front door to find his family, friends and neighbours gathered – not in celebration but for his wake. Unknown to him hours earlier the TV news channels had announced his death. As Hemant says: “I walked in and they thought they had seen a ghost.” A few hours later he was back in the centre of Mumbai, walking through hospitals and morgues trying to account for every member of his staff. Tragically seven of them – including a number of young chefs he considered to be his proteges – were dead. All of them shot attempting to protect hotel guests from the gunmen who unleashed so much havoc and horror across Mumbai. Hemant witnessed some of those murders and narrowly escaped his own execution. Of one of those he found in hospital he says: “He pleaded [with the gunmen] that he was getting married in six months’ time, asking, ‘why are you killing innocent people?’ They shot him point blank. He died in hospital after 8 or 9 days.” The most astonishing aspect of this story is the instinctive behaviour of Hemant and his staff when they found themselves in the midst of the most terrifying crisis. Throughout their ordeal they had repeated opportunities to escape. Hemant gave his team that option, telling them there would be no shame in leaving to be with their families. But they stayed put. As Hemant tells me: “Whatever you do – if you cannot help others, then there’s no point being here. Everything comes back to you in this life. Hell, or heaven is here – it’s not anywhere else.”Stream/Buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bmSome Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk

The attacks on the luxurious Taj Hotel in Mumbai in 2008 put Lashkar-e-Tayyaba, a jihadist terrorist group, in the international / Western spotlight for the first time, though they had been deadly active in India and Afghanistan for decades. In her book In Their Own Words: Understanding Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (Oxford University Press, 2018), Christine Fair reveals a little-known aspect of how LeT functions in Pakistan and beyond, by translating and commenting upon a range of publications produced and disseminated by Dar-ul-Andlus, the publishing wing of LeT. Only a fraction of LeT's cadres ever see battle: most of them are despatched on nation-wide "prozelytising" (dawa) missions to convert Pakistanis to their particular interpretation of Islam, in support of which LeT has developed a sophisticated propagandist literature. This canon of Islamist texts is the most popular and potent weapon in LeT's arsenal, and its scrutiny affords insights into how and who the group recruits; LeT's justification for jihad; its vision of itself in global and regional politics; the enemies LeT identifies and the allies it cultivates; and how and where it conducts its operations. Particular attention is paid to the role that LeT assigns to women by examining those writings which heap extravagant praise upon the mothers of aspirant jihadis, who bless their operations and martyrdom. It is only by understanding LeT's domestic functions as set out in these texts that one can begin to appreciate why Pakistan so fiercely supports it, despite mounting international pressure to disband the group. India and the United States are placed in extremely difficult positions with regard to Pakistan because of this. Christine Fair is a Provost's Distinguished Associate Professor in the Peace and Security Studies Program within Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service. Kirk Meighoo is a TV and podcast host, former university lecturer, author and former Senator in Trinidad and Tobago. He hosts his own podcast, Independent Thought & Freedom, where he interviews some of the most interesting people from around the world who are shaking up politics, economics, society and ideas.

Guest : Ahneesh Valodia Ahneesh Valodia’s love for Bollywood dancing lights up his eyes and ignites his soul. At the age of eight, he began learning moves intrinsic to the genre by watching Bollywood movies. As the vibrant colours saturated the screen, Valodia’s hands would mimic the extravagant gestures. He dreamt of performing the Indian art form on stage for the rest of his life. Then Valodia was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. The degenerative muscular disorder confined him to a wheelchair, rendering him unable to perform. But Valodia would not let go of his passion. To keep it in his life, Valodia founded Taare, an academy located in Cape Town that unites young people in the preservation and promotion of Bollywood dance. In addition to creating this platform for budding performers, Valodia is also the artistic director and choreographer of the troupe. With his knowledge of various Indian dance styles, Valodia fuses these forms to create a unique experience that portrays its diversity. Taare have performed their crafted shows at prestigious establishments such as the Artscape Theatre Centre and Taj Hotel. They’ve also contributed to fundraisers for cancer awareness and autism. In pursuing the life he’s always wanted, Valodia is empowering others.

We didn’t know what would happen last week in Christchurch, New Zealand when we watched this film, which is based on the real-life stories of the staff and guests of the Taj Hotel in Mumbai, caught up in a terrorist attack on 26 November 2008. We still want to review the film, because we think it’s important that these stories are told, but we understand that some listeners may find both the film and the discussion of it upsetting. An Indian-Australian co-production, from first-time director Anthony Maras, and featuring the wonderful Dev Patel and Armie Hammer, Hotel Mumbai gives an incredibly tense and taut view of a coordinated terrorist attack unfolding and the people caught up in it.

The answers are there. The soul is an incredible strength-giver. SACRIFICE and PAIN can lead to this inward journey, where you discover that you are a SPIRITUAL being, more than just a body. The alchemy is FAITH and HUMILITY. Welcome to an ethereal sanctuary, where we let time and space unravel a bit in order to access a spirit beyond it. In this episode, we travel to New Delhi, India to visit with Bina Ramani. Bina’s home is an island, discovered on a wandering journey down a mud and rubble lane, amid pollution and bandits, dead end and jungle. Despite all of this, she saw magic in this place, a seed of a dream, a space that would offer spiritual nurturing and happiness. Betwixt raucous hammering and lilting bird songs, Bina shares the story of her radiant, multi-passioned life of integrity and service. A life which, much like the sanctuary around her, rose from the ashes of pain and sacrifice. Your Travelogue At young age, Bina was discovered to have a natural talent for athletics and a deep passion for music and singing. However, her very traditional family put a stop to her dreams because they feared they would never be able to find her a husband. She carried that heartbreak for years. [2:02] Despite being essentially alone in life, with no degree or fine skills, one divine meeting and the poignant statement, “If you believe in yourself” opened the door for Bina to represent the Taj Hotel in an opportunity beyond her wildest dreams. [12:30] “Believe in Yourself” became her life’s motto and changed her forever. Bina went on to become a popular fashion designer, entrepreneur, restaurateur, social worker, visionary and socialite. Then one day she witnessed a murder and faced grave danger as a corrupt political system tried to silence her. Looking deep in her soul and finding strength there, she developed a fearlessness that would serve her the rest of her life. [26:36] Bina still appreciates beauty and aesthetics and the conquest of good things, but underlying it is the cushion {“the best cushion in the world, that will never let you down”} that she is really a spiritual being. Her advice to multi-passionate people: Dream. Those who can dream are fortunate. Dreams make the future. Believe in yourself. Evil people are dreaming as well. That’s an incredible education. And we are in the middle. [38:38] Links mentioned in this episode: Bird in a Banyan Tree: The inspiring memoir of Bina Ramani, who did not give up in the worst of circumstances, and created a successful life for herself. Bina’s newest endeavor is Malabar Secrets, a line of products based on the age-old knowledge of spice extract ingestion and aromatherapy. This is a brand that embodies ancient Indian craftsmanship, blending spices used for well-being for over a millennia. Launching soon!

In today’s conversation, Andy talks with Ashfer Biju, the executive chef and food and beverage director at the iconic The Pierre, A Taj Hotel in New York City, responsible for all things culinary. To Ashfer, however, he's more than his official job title; he’s a self-proclaimed “crafter of perishable art.” After growing up in a small fishing town in India, Ashfer discovered his passion for food as a child and was driven to share his love with others ever since. With his entire family working in the restaurant industry in some fashion, Ashfer quickly dove into the hospitality industry and helped launch a vegetarian restaurant in India when he was only 18. He studied hospitality and pursued a degree at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, California. Soon after, Ashfer traveled to open restaurants around the world, from Berkeley to Mauritius and the Maldives. By 2009, when he had already opened numerous hotels and restaurants, the time for Ashfer to move to New York City had come. Not surprisingly, Manhattan ended up being far more than the mere short-term piece of a working travel circuit as he’d expected; Ashfer found his calling in what he considers one of the three "maximum food cities" of New York, London, and Hong Kong. Extending beyond his current work at The Pierre, Ashfer and Andy delve into the “extreme form of art” that is food, the importance of food’s personalization in weddings, why food is an experience at heart, and even why turmeric is “the next kale.” After their conversation, Andy had the opportunity to experience Ashfer's food firsthand through a tasting at Perrine in The Pierre. Read about his experience below the links.

The setting, it provided, was a perfect location for such a culinary endeavor. I proceeded to be served seven different dishes and I had to fight hard not to consume every drop and morsel in order to save room for it all! Each dish was presented beautifully, as shown in the pics, and I had to take a moment with each one just to take in the visual aspect."

Five years ago, on the evening of Nov. 26, 2008, heavily armed Pakistani terrorists raced to infiltrate the five-star Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. At the same time, as part of a coordinated attack, other tourist sites in Mumbai were also attacked.Throughout Mumbai more than 160 people were killed in the two day siege. The Indian commission charged with studying what happened and why, did a remarkably poor job of gathering and reporting the facts. Now we have perhaps the best and most official account yet in The Siege: 68 Hours Inside the Taj Hotel. A new book by two British journalists, Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark.What's particularly significant about this story, is that when we look at the trajectory of more recent terrorist attacks, including the mall in Kenya, we see this attack on the Taj, as representing the beginning of a new wave in the future of terrorism. My conversation with Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clark:
Just how close was Justin to those bombings at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai? And how long does he think Aussies can dominate world cricket?
