Where clean-label meets industrial scale
Chef Rishika Sawansukha , known as Mishti — is not a chef in the conventional sense. She is a food systems architect operating at the intersection of culinary science, supply chain, sourcing , Ai and regulatory compliance.
Her work bridges the irreducible tension between artisanal purity and industrial reproducibility — delivering formulations that survive the rigors of mass production without sacrificing clean-label integrity.
