Surekha Tai’s Kitchen – A Story of Grit, Grace, and Ghar Ka Khana in Pimple Nilakh

Surekha Tai at PinkAprons Event

In the bustling neighborhoods of Pimple Saudagar, before anyone thought of online food ordering or cloud kitchens, there was Surekha Tai. A warm, cheerful Maharashtrian chef, she didn’t run a restaurant, and she didn’t take online orders. Her kitchen was in the homes of her customers.

For years, she would ride her scooter from her home to Pimple Saudagar, where young bachelors, IT professionals, and students eagerly awaited her arrival. Not with packed boxes—but with fresh ingredients and a bag full of spices. She would enter their homes, roll up her sleeves, and start cooking right there in their kitchens.

Simple Maharashtrian dishes—zunka-bhakri, poha, dal-chawal, thalipeeth—but made with so much care and love, that the food always tasted like home. She wasn’t just providing a service; she was a part of their daily life.


Then, Everything Stopped

When COVID-19 hit, everything changed in an instant. The homes where she once cooked were shut to outsiders. The bachelors and working professionals either moved out or started working remotely. Suddenly, Surekha Tai had no work—and no backup.

There was no steady income. No idea how to survive in a world that had gone digital overnight. She didn’t know what online food delivery near me meant. She didn’t even own a smartphone.


A New Door Opens – PinkAprons

During this tough time, one of her former customers, Shruti Agarwal, reached out. Shruti remembered how Tai’s food had helped her through her early working days in Pune. Now part of a growing platform for home chefs called PinkAprons, Shruti saw an opportunity.

She asked, “Tai, why don’t you start your own kitchen from home? We’ll help you get online and take orders through PinkAprons.”

Surekha Tai was unsure. Technology wasn’t her thing. But with Shruti’s help, she registered with PinkAprons, learned how to manage online food ordering, and slowly began to cook from her own kitchen in Pimple Nilakh.
