Written by The Hyatt Pune, Kalyani Nagar has appointed Swapnil Chandawale as the new Executive Chef. He will spearhead complete restaurant operations, kitchen management and banquet event operations, ensuring high-quality services to achieve customer delight.
Chandawale is a graduate of Pune’s Bharti Vidyapeeth Institute of Hotel Management and had started his career in the F&B service department. However, his passion for learning and budding curiosity made him shift to the culinary department and since then he has garnered experience across the culinary sector.
His culinary path led him to various countries with the best of exposures and experiences including a stint with Royal Caribbean Cruise and as Sous Chef at the Waterman Pub & Resort in England. Chandawale credits his traveling for substantially influencing his culinary skills, allowing him to create flavor combinations that impart unique qualities to dishes.
“I believe a chef should be like a harmonica, it is considered to be different and symbolizes ephemeral lifestyle that allows for an open and carefree mind,” he stated.
