Restaurateurs Manjit Gill and Farrokh Khambata are members of the jury for the 2019 edition for the Teacher’s Golden Thistle Awards, which will take place in Mumbai on November 16, and recognise and celebrate high-achievers with rare and exemplary achievements in seven categories, viz., business, sports, entertainment, culture (culinary excellence), Genuine Impact (Growing for Good), Forever Genuine (Lifetime Achievement) and Teacher’s GQ Special Award.
Gill is the man behind some of the most iconic restaurants of India - Bukhara and Dum Pukht, which have been delighting foodies for alomst 30 years now. The acclaimed chef has over four decades of excellence in the culinary profession and has won numerous awards for his work.
While each one of us would have thought of starting a restaurant, some people actually do it, and with such success, as Khambata. He wears many hats - he is an entrepreneur, restaurateur, chef and caterer. But he has dominated the world of food through his company Catering and Allied, which owns five restaurants in Mumbai, apart from one of the best celebrity catering services.
The other members of the jury are actor Anil Kapoor; cricketers Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Harbhajan Singh; Bharatanatyam danseuse Geeta Chandran; D Shiva Kumar, group executive president, corporate strategy and business, Aditya Birla Group; Nimesh Shah, managing director and chief executive officer ICICI Prudential AMC, and Wiz Sabbas Joseph, founder, Wizcraft.
To ensure a fair and thoroughly audited process, Pricewaterhouse Cooper (PwC) was appointed as the process validator.
The Teacher’s Achievement Awards has celebrated the spirit of achievement since 2001 with an illustrious list of winners in the past, including Ranbir Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Rahul Dravid and Abhinav Bindra, among others.
