Chef Sumant Sharma is the Executive Pastry Chef at Michelin-starred Musaafer Houston and Musaafer NYC, and one of the leading voices in modern Indian pastry. Born and raised in the farmlands of Royal Rajasthan, he grew up immersed in the flavors and traditions that later shaped his culinary identity. After training in luxury hotels and fine-dining kitchens, he developed a signature style that blends classical technique with India’s regional ingredients, Ayurvedic principles, and seasonal sensibilities. Renowned for transforming nostalgic Indian sweets into contemporary, artful desserts, Sharma focuses on emotion, memory, and storytelling in every creation. His acclaimed reinterpretation of Rasmalai exemplifies his philosophy—lighter, innovative, and globally inspired, yet deeply rooted in heritage. Today, he continues to push boundaries at Musaafer, championing Indian pastry on the world stage and inspiring young chefs to create with both skill and soul.
