Looking every bit the funky professor, Gaggan Anand was in the city for a five-day residency at the Masque Lab. Before he wrapped up his guest shift, along with restaurateur Aditi Dugar and Raaj Sanghvi of Culinary Culture, the trio hosted Khatta Meetha, an afternoon of three panel discussions with restaurateurs, chefs, creators and cultural voices. Everything from the impact of influencers, to making Indian food affordable, to all about fine dining, was discussed.

“For me, to share my success is not just talking about my own rights, but rather how we create and give India back something. The idea is to also inspire the younger generation,” Anand, dressed in a Balenciaga shirt with ice cream print and shorts, shared.
