VIDEO INTRODUCTION:
Most people talk about passion.
Very few people spend 30 years obsessively pursuing it.
In this episode, we sit down with Vikas Khanna, Michelin-star chef, entrepreneur, author, filmmaker, and founder of Bungalow, one of New York's most sought-after Indian restaurants.
From arriving in America with almost no money to building a globally celebrated restaurant, Vikas shares the story of how passion, purpose, and relentless dedication shaped his extraordinary journey.
In this episode, we discuss:
• How Vikas Khanna built one of New York's most talked-about restaurants

• The difference between serving food and creating unforgettable experiences
• How rejection, setbacks, and personal struggles shaped his success
• Why hospitality is one of the most underrated advantages in business
