Employee Speak:
I have always been a foodie and enjoyed not only eating but also trying out new recipes. At Khana Khazana I learnt the finer nuances of cooking. Like how to judge whether a recipe is workable; how the ingredients need to be treated differently to achieve the right results; the right temperature required to cook different things; substituting one ingredient with another; how to tweak recipes to suit each one’s requirements and lot of other interesting and helpful information about food and related topics.

I feel very proud to be associated with this great organization. The work culture at Khana Khazana has tremendous response to feedback. Hierarchy is only an enabler and not a hurdle, which is generally the case in other organizations.

My passion for cooking and immense interest to be a part of Chef Kapoor's team brought me here. The first meeting with Chef Kapoor feels like a dream come true to a fan like me who has been following him since the inception of Khana Khazana program on Zee. My journey of 2 1/2 years here has been a learning experience and an unforgettable one. Our work place is filled with so much warmth, that it has somehow made me forget my past work experience and makes me believe each day that I belong here. The culture is very different and we work like one big family supporting each other at every step. I am more than excited and look forward to come to office every morning because each day at Khana Khazana is different, unique and brings out the best in you. Multi-tasking is our strength and we work with a 'never say no' attitude and deliver to the best of our abilities. I am proud to be a KKite :-)

It’s my pleasure to write about Khana Khazana India Private Limited.
1. Work @ Company: There are many opportunities for individuals to learn, grow and to explore with new technology and challenges. Mentor team is always there to pull you out from the issues. Flexible timing and adjustment support you. Good infrastructure. Right to share your ideas and concepts.
2. Fun @ Company: Events like movies, cricket tournaments, picnics makes the work more easy.
3. Life @ Company: This is the most important thing, as one spends his prime time of the day in the company. Khana Khazana respects it, and provides both work and fun at the same time to make work life easier and satisfactory. We have a very friendly atmosphere. I think no one can find this type of atmosphere anywhere else easily.
