Kaushik Guha started his culinary journey back in school days (in India) when he lived in Kolkata. Whenever he needed a quick snack to satiate himself he would turn to the ubiquitous Kati Roll. Years rolled by and Kaushik moved through various cities in India and the US and finally arrived in Chicago; gathering his gourmet food experiences across continents. Over the years he has been cooking fantastic meals for his family and friends. Simultaneously, he wrapped up an MBA, finished a CPA and worked at EY as an Economic consultant.

The defining moment came when on a trip back to the city of Kolkata, he reconnected with his college sweetheart, Swetha, and now wife, and together they rediscovered their joy for the Kati rolls. Swetha had 8 solid years working in advertising for some of the largest companies in the world. With her wholehearted support, Kaushik quit his day job, and they put together a business plan, developed the recipes and raised capital to finally bring you- The Kati Roll- through Hakka Bakka.
