Zorawar Kalra

Founder & Managing Director at Massive Restaurants, India

Zorawar Kalra, a Master’s in Business Administration from Boston’s Bentley Business University, with an entrepreneurial bent of mind and a genetic love for food, over the years, has ostensibly studied the Indian food & beverage market, introducing some of the most genre defining restaurant concepts in Indian Cuisine. Counted amongst one of the youngest, successful restaurateurs of India, he has amalgamated a penchant for Indian food with his natural business acumen and a rich heritage spanning over four decades in the Indian culinary space and hospitality industry. Considered as the ‘Man with a Vision on a Mission’ & ‘the Prince of Indian cuisine’, he has recently been recognized amongst the Forty Under 40 – India’s Hottest Young Business Leaders 2016 by The Economic Times & Spenser Stuart, “Restaurateur of the Year Award, 2014”, Vir Sanghvi Awards, HT Crystals, 2014 and “Entrepreneur of the Year in Service Business – F & B Services”, Entrepreneur India Awards, 2014.

Placing Indian food on the global palate, permanently, while showcasing its robustness has been his personal crusade, which formed the basis of establishing Massive Restaurants in December 2012. It is with this intent, and to showcase the exemplary culinary talent from the country, that he recently took up the mantle of being one of the principal Judges in the fifth season of MasterChef India (2016).
Zorawar, an avid golfer, is a technology enthusiast with interests in gadgets, likes to spend most of his leisure time with his family, exploring new destinations or on the Budh International Circuit driving his prized possession with fellow sports car enthusiasts.
