Mumbai (RMN) Navi Mumbai-based FMCG company Melting Pot Food Products Pvt. Ltd. has announced that renowned Celebrity Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi has joined its flagship brand ‘Inchi’ as an investor and brand ambassador.
Founded in 2017 by Nikhil Bharti, R P Chatterjee and Manish Pardiwala, Inchi has quickly become a household favourite in the Indo-Chinese segment. The brand today offers over 100 products including schezwan dips and spreads, noodles, sauces, gourmet and instant soups, and signature cooking masalas.
Director Nikhil Bharti said, “Brand Inchi is at a crucial junction and poised for explosive growth. We were looking for a face who is as universally loved as our products and who believes in the Indo-Chinese category. Chef Harpal was the perfect fit. With his onboarding, we are confident of scaling to Rs 500+ crore in the next 5 years.”
Chef Harpal will actively contribute as a culinary partner in product innovation, recipe development and making restaurant-style Indo-Chinese cooking accessible at home.
Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi said, “I didn’t want this to be just another endorsement. I wanted to invest in a brand whose vision I genuinely believed in. Nikhil and the team at Melting Pot have a very clear understanding of today’s consumer, and I saw a great opportunity to bring my culinary experience into that vision.”
With Chef Sokhi’s extensive legacy in the Indo-Chinese segment, the partnership aims to cement Inchi’s leadership in the category and marks a major step in Chef Sokhi’s entrepreneurial journey.
