Hot Kitchen's story started long before the name did. Santosh Prajapati grew up in the business his father started in 1975 — then spent over a decade with the Kamdhenu Group learning how great kitchens are actually run.
In 2021 he brought all of it together and launched Hot Kitchen, on one simple belief — that professional catering could feel as personal as a home-cooked meal, even for four thousand guests. That belief still shows in his habit of walking every live counter himself before the first guest arrives.
“Food is not what we serve. It's what people remember.”
— Santosh Prajapati, Founder & Managing Director

Known to everyone at Hot Kitchen simply as CP, Chander Prakash Dhekarwal is the steady hand behind every event that leaves this kitchen — the one who turns a plan on paper into a floor that runs on time.
From the first crate loaded to the last plate cleared, he keeps the tempo even, the counters full, and the whole team moving as one. Guests never see the machinery behind an evening that runs perfectly — and that is exactly the point.
“A guest should never see the effort. Only the result.”
— Chander Prakash Dhekarwal
