Our Story
Bangalore Culinary Academy was founded by Dr. Chef Sheraz Nair and Dr. Chef Rajesh Nair with a vision to offer advanced international culinary and hospitality education in India at the most affordable cost. True to its name, the Academy focuses on higher learning, shaping students into industry-ready professionals who graduate with international diplomas in culinary arts and pastry.
With over five decades of combined experience in the hospitality and corporate sectors, both Rajesh and Sheraz began their careers in leading hotel chains after completing their degrees in Hotel Management in 1997. Their journey across the hospitality and corporate worlds eventually inspired the creation of an academy that blends real-world expertise with structured education. What began as a small culinary institute has today evolved into a full-fledged centre for professional chef courses, with internationally certified pastry and culinary art diplomas.
At Bangalore Culinary Academy, theory meets practice through a curriculum that is largely hands-on and industry-focused. The curriculum is designed to simulate real-world kitchen and hotel environments, ensuring that students are prepared for the fast-paced, high-pressure world of hospitality. Each batch is kept small, typically around 16 students, allowing for personalised mentoring and hands-on learning. Students graduate with the skills, confidence, and professional conduct required to excel from their very first day in the industry.
