If somebody had told me a decade ago that I’d be running a café, I probably would’ve laughed.

Back then, I was a lawyer, working in litigation, sometimes even on cases in the Supreme Court, alongside some of the biggest names in the field.

Life was intense, and while I was good at what I did, there was always a quiet craving in the background… quite literally.

Even in college, I had a thing for baking. Brownies, cookies, dry cakes—I’d whip up something, and my friends were always ready with empty plates and big smiles.

Somewhere between case files and courtrooms, I realised: I didn’t just want to eat beautiful desserts, I wanted to make them.

Learning Through Experience

After training, I worked with places that I had once admired as a customer—Bombakery, Artusi Ristorante, and Shangri-La. Each kitchen taught me something different—about precision, teamwork, flavour, and people.

It was during these years that the idea of owning a café became more than just a daydream. I didn’t want just a bakery. I wanted a space where people could slow down, indulge a little, and feel a sense of belonging.

A New City, A New Start

Life brought me to Greater Noida after I got married. It was quieter, growing, and full of potential. But what struck me the most was the lack of artisanal cafés—places where quality, comfort, and community came together.

So I decided: this is where The Little Pink Cafe belongs—a warm, welcoming spot built on coffee, cakes, and conversations.

Where I’m Meant to Be

Our Opening day was a whirlwind. I was nervous, proud, excited—all at once. But it was the day when I started living the dream.

But the true validation came much later, in unexpected ways. Some customers who had travelled abroad would tell me how our coffee reminded them of their favourite spots in Australia or how our hot chocolate was better than what they’d had in Germany or Canada.
