I build memorable food brands and experiences.
I'm Shilpa Kotamarthi, a food and beverage consultant, Ayurvedic chef, and founder based in Toronto. I help entrepreneurs, cafés, restaurants, and lifestyle brands bring thoughtful food concepts to life, from brand strategy and menu development to experiences people genuinely remember.
After starting my career with an MBA in Retail Branding, I went on to build two consumer brands in Canada's food and beverage space.
Madras Kaapi
Canada's first South Indian coffee brand, founded in 2020.
Mystery Eats
In 2023, I launched Mystery Eats, a company that curates intimate dining experiences, food crawls, and culinary trips across Toronto and beyond.
Having built brands from the ground up, I understand both the creative and commercial side of food businesses.
