About us

Karen Anand is considered something of a food guru in India influencing the way people eat and perceive good food for the last 30 years. She began her career in Mumbai in the early 90’s and now works Internationally from her base in Pune where she writes and runs her food consultancy company.

Credited with de-mystifying international cooking and then starting the Markets by Karen Anand, a platform with an emphasis on local, natural and sustainable, Karen has handed over the legacy of her gourmet food business to her sons, Param and Sasha Anand. With exposure and experience in their own ventures of F&B Exports and Digital Marketing, they have re-launched the retail brand under the KA Gourmet brand along with the existing B2B luxury hotel business brand under the same name to an overwhelming response all across India. 

They support the 'vocal for local" movement and source all ingredients locally. They have increased the range of products to include conserves with no added sugar, a variety of salad dressings and sandwich spreads and a new range of Oriental sauces, with no compromise on quality and at affordable price points. With the availability of these ready to cook jars of International quality products available online and at select retail outlets, international cuisines today can be made and experienced without stepping out of the home.

Their factory on the outskirts of Pune is compliant with all the necessary safety, hygiene and health protocols. They also actively hire underprivileged women from the region to support the local community. Together, the Anand/Sankalia family share a common love for gourmet food which lives on, continually innovating and creating.
