Meet Gireesh Dewangan – a man of many talents and passions. After completing his MBA from Pune, he began his career at Tech Mahindra, a multinational company. Later, he moved to Raipur and worked as a management executive in L&T Power & Infra Projects before taking over his family business. However, the devastating occurrence of his both parent’s demise in 2014 changed his life upside down which left him pondering life.
During this difficult time, Gireesh found his solace in cooking, as he already loved eating yummy food but creating it was a necessity and disguise started to enjoy preparing local food and making people taste it. Neighbours and nearby people started savouring this and hence made him excited to further start documenting his culinary creations on Instagram. He started getting noticed and gained the following. He expanded his content to include reviews of local cafes and restaurants but refused to do paid promotions.

He also places a high value on health, and wellness and encourages others to prioritize their physical and mental well-being. To Gireesh, the four pillars of good health are exercise, diet, sleep, and healthy relationships. He advises people to cultivate positive relationships and stay away from toxic or dissenting people.
Gireesh also subscribes to the belief that discipline is the key to success, rather than blindly following one’s heart. As Sadguru once said, following what is needed rather than what one likes to do is the path to physical and financial success.
To conclude, Gireesh Dewangan is a man who has faced adversity with courage and resilience, finding solace in the simple pleasures of life – cooking and reading. His commitment to honesty, health, and discipline has won him the respect of his followers and made him an inspiration to many.
