Chef Gauri Varma, the visionary driving the artistic heart of G's Patisserie, weaves an exquisite tapestry of artistic passion and entrepreneurial acumen, reshaping the very essence of Delhi's vibrant baking landscape.
Hailing from South Delhi, Gauri's upbringing instilled in her the drive to excel in diverse fields. Armed with a B.Com degree from Lady Shri Ram College and a Master's in Business from the University of Oxford, Gauri's journey took her from London's sophistication to Chandni Chowk's vibrant chaos.

She onboards and trains women from disadvantaged backgrounds, by providing them not only with job opportunities but also life skills. Gauri's relentless pursuit of excellence, which embarked with a single product and has now blossomed into a range of 600 today, led her to create Confect, a groundbreaking sugar paste that's gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, and vegetarian. It's a product that has not only earned accolades in India but also internationally, making her the first chef in India to innovate in the baking and confectionery realm.
