Drishya S Kapoor
Inspiration

Drishya S Kapoor

Drishya discovered his love for the culinary arts at the age of six, beginning with basic knife skills and a growing curiosity for food. Raised in a home where cooking was a celebration and a shared family activity, he developed a passion for experimenting with recipes and learning far beyond his years. As his interest deepened, his family supported him in building both his culinary knowledge and confidence, which eventually led to the launch of House of Bakers in 2017. Alongside cooking, Drishya also became known as one of India’s youngest food critics. He has explored food across a wide spectrum, from five-star hotels and popular restaurants to humble roadside dhabas, always sharing thoughtful views on taste, texture, and presentation. Deeply inspired by chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Aarón Sánchez, Sanjeev Kapoor, and Ranveer Brar, Drishya continues to refine his craft with remarkable passion, discipline, and ambition.

The people who make it all run.

Aakarshan Saxena
Head of Product

Aakarshan Saxena

Aakarshan owns how HomeStove feels — from the first tap to the last bite. He turns the founder's vision into shipping product, holds the line on simplicity, and obsesses over the small details that make ordering home food feel as natural as making chai.

Technical Support

Justin Varghese

Justin keeps the systems honest — the payment splits, the order pipeline, the dashboards HomeChefs depend on. When a kitchen runs smoothly at 1 PM lunch rush, it's because Justin's plumbing is doing its job quietly in the background.
