The appointment marks a significant milestone in Savorworks’ growth journey as it continues to evolve from a specialty coffee and bean-to-bar chocolate destination into a comprehensive café, restaurant, and bar concept.

Chef Hemant has been brought on board not only to lead the culinary operations at Savorworks’ GK2 and Gurgaon outlets, but also to play a pivotal role in the brand’s long-term Pan-India expansion strategy.

While Savorworks has built a strong reputation for its specialty coffee, artisanal chocolates, innovative beverages, and exceptional baked goods, the brand is now taking its culinary experience to the next level under Chef Hemant’s leadership. His expertise, creativity, and operational excellence will help further enhance the food program, creating a more holistic and memorable guest experience that complements Savorworks’ existing strengths.

He further honed his skills through professional training at Jaypee Residency Manor, Mussoorie, followed by valuable experience at Ananda in the Himalayas, one of India’s most renowned luxury wellness retreats.

He started his professional career in Chandigarh, where he gained hands-on experience in culinary operations and kitchen management. Building on this foundation, he joined InterContinental Chennai, where he further refined his culinary expertise, strengthened his operational acumen, and expanded his understanding of delivering exceptional dining experiences within a luxury hospitality environment.

Over the years, Chef Hemant has worked with some of the hospitality industry’s most respected names, including Indigo Hospitality and Passcode Hospitality’s SAZ.

With Chef Hemant Bisht joining the leadership team, Savorworks Coffee & Chocolate is poised to elevate its food offerings to the same benchmark of excellence for which its coffee, chocolate, bakery, and beverage programs are already known, setting the stage for a stronger and more dynamic Pan-India presence in the years ahead.

It’s been a long time coming to gather all these great resources into our portfolio. We set out to elevate Savorworks’s food scene and become a destination where coffee, chocolate, desserts, and cuisine are all celebrated equally.
