Renowned chef Manish Mehrotra has launched Manish Mehrotra Culinary Arts (MMCA). MMCA has been co-founded by Amit Khanna, founder of Amaya Ventures, and Binny Bansal, co-founder of Flipkart.
Obhan & Associates advised Amaya Ventures, including the drafting and negotiation of investment documentation. The firm also provided counsel on the intellectual property licensing framework between Chef Manish Mehrotra and MMCA - a crucial component given the brand-driven nature of the venture.
The transaction was led by Ashima Obhan (Senior Partner), with support from Akanksha Dua (Partner), Aastha Srivastava (Senior Associate), and Arnav Joshi (Associate).
Manish Mehrotra is one of India’s most celebrated culinary innovators and a pioneer of modern Indian fine dining.
MMCA is a contemporary culinary platform aimed at creating immersive gastronomic experiences while fostering research, mentorship, and innovation within the hospitality industry. It marks Chef Mehrotra’s return with a new creative pursuit following his departure from Indian Accent.
The platform aims to bring contemporary Indian cuisine to a global audience through curated dining experiences, cross-cultural collaborations, and a pipeline of new hospitality concepts.
