Viggy
Despite earning a degree in Aerospace Engineering and working in business development at one of the premier electrical motor companies in the world (WEG), my true passion has always been in food. From helping my grandmother cook South Indian food, since the age of 4, to learning how to make pizzas and pasta from cookbooks with my mom - the kitchen has always been where I am most comfortable.
I moved to Vancouver in 2022 because I have been in love with the city since I first visited over a decade ago and dreamt of creating my first startup here.
I wanted to create Tocha to re-introduce the joy of flavour to people who think of food as a utilitarian endeavour. I firmly believe that food and the act of eating, like all things in life, is bursting with emotion and meaning. Tocha is my expression of love and warmth.
