After introducing the "Hyatt Culinary Challenge - people cooking for people" in 2014, the hotel chain is back with the 2015 edition of the event that seeks celebrating Hyatt’s rich oriental heritage. This year, it will cut across 10 Hyatt destinations in India, commencing October 31.
Conceptualised as a platform for corporates to come together and showcase their culinary talent, the Challenge sees each participant paired up with a child from the SMILE foundation—Hyatt’s partner NGO in India—and together they will put up their version of a well-known recipe. One winner from each of the 10 competing cities will be picked by an illustrious judges’ panel for a final face-off in the grand finale in Mumbai in November 2015.
The preliminary rounds will take place across Hyatt Hotels in Ahmedabad (Hyatt Regency Ahmedabad), Amritsar (Hyatt Amritsar), Bangalore (Hyatt Bangalore), Chennai (Park Hyatt Chennai), Delhi (Hyatt Regency Delhi), Goa (Grand Hyatt Goa), Hyderabad (Hyatt Hyderabad), Kolkata (Hyatt Regency Kolkata), Mumbai (Hyatt Regency Mumbai), and Pune (Hyatt Regency Pune) on October 31 and November 1, 2015. The pre-event proceedings will be covered digitally as one participant from each city makes it to the preliminary stage.
According to Vikram Singh Verma, COO, SMILE Foundation, "In order to bring some real and permanent changes in the lives of the most deserving children across India, members of the civil society need to be involved proactively in the process of development. We are overwhelmed by the support from Hyatt India and hope for continued collaboration in the future to see lasting impact in the uplift of our local communities."
