An ardent foodie knows that creating tasty food that not only satisfies the hunger of your stomach but also the craving of your taste buds is an art. Similarly, an adept cook knows that the art of cooking encompasses not only tasty food but also the craft of fine dining.
The art of cooking and the craft of fine dining combinedly, called the culinary exquisite, are based on the four core P values of Passion, Perception, Proliferation and Placidity.
Just like hunger, passion comes from within. It cannot be forced from the outside. And those who are passionate enough are clear in their perception no matter how the outside stimuli try to convince them otherwise. They know that when it comes to culinary exquisite, the entire world is the canvas of your tastebud’s obsessive proliferation.
Meditation is the last resort of the mind to achieve peace. And it cannot accomplish that serenity with unfulfilled cravings of the body’s empty belly and tongue’s tasteless buds. Just like an empty belly keeps thinking about the food, the nostalgic mind keeps feeling about that last best cuisine it had received to its heart’s content and achieved the epitome of peace, tranquillity or the fourth p of placidity.
Based on the core values of 4Ps, Adipta Majumder founded Kahhak Industries Private Limited in New Delhi in the year 2018 and headquartered it in the city of joy, Kolkata. Adipta shares, “Kahhak means a great leader who is extremely sensitive, friendly, precise and proud. That is the way we build our conglomerate.”
An Adept Leadership Brilliance
Adipta has been felicitated with various awards such as,
- Entrepreneur of the Year 2021 by the Indian Achievers Forum,

- Creative Entrepreneur of the year 2022 award,
- Best National/Regional Pan-Asian Restaurant and Restaurant with Outstanding Ambience and Interiors 2022 (For The Art of Dumpling) from Icons of Asia and Global Empire Events
Adipta abides by the apophthegm ‘Precision meets Pride.’ He conveys, “Our conglomerate organisation believes in delivering an unparalleled experience of quality, exclusivity and consistency. We present world-class standards to the industry aligning by versatility with exclusivity. We primarily focus on limitless creations within boundaries considering the impeccable art of our various labels like our fine dining ‘The Art of Dumpling’ or our ice cream boutique, ‘Kahhak Creamery’ or our low emission ‘Sniff Incense’.”
The Foodie Traveller’s Nostalgic Inspiration
Adipta expresses, “Travels across the globe have inspired me to bring in world-class experience in this industry and deliver its patrons with an unparalleled experience of quality, consistency and exquisity.”
‘Food is not just eating. It is a mood to experience nostalgia.’ Maybe it is a sense of nostalgia that harks back to food-hood, when you’d climb from bed, muzzy-eyed and stomach nattering, before digging into a stack of Mother’s jam biscuit sandwiches. It is a feeling of familiarity when you hear them out in the commercials of cookie lines.
Adipta feels, “Culminating on a foodie note, I say, ‘I’m not a Chef. But I’m passionate about food-the ethics of it, preparing it, sharing it and undeniably having it.”
Surmounting Challenges with Zealous Stoicism
Quoting Franklin D Roosevelt, ‘A smooth sea never makes good sailors.’ Challenges come along everywhere. Building a strong, high-performance team had indeed been a big barrier. And the pandemic COVID-19 made this more difficult since hospitality faced a major blow. Adipta shares, “Sourcing of employees who would be aligned with the heart and soul of our establishment had initially been a challenge, but eventually, their ability to stand out made diversity, equity and inclusivity better and stronger.
My team had the zeal to stand out and be aligned with the vision of unparalleled inventiveness. The pursuit of perfection and precision required immense stoicism and perseverance. Our strive to sustain versatility with exclusivity continues.”
The Architectonic of Nouvelle Cuisine
Kahhak delivers its patrons with an experience of quality, exquisity and consistency, which is prominent in its monogram. ‘The Art of Dumpling’ is an epitome of true artistic pleasure, considering the ambience and architectonic of the nouvelle cuisine.
