Gratitude

Creation of a Masterpiece

This creation was brought to life by dedicated individuals, many from our own beautiful city of Siliguri. We honor the visionaries and the craftsmen alike.

Jaspal Singh Bindra
The Visionary Foodpreneur

Jaspal Singh Bindra

Jaspal is a disciplined entrepreneur and a creative force behind some of the famous brands of North Bengal like Punjabi Kadhai, Cafe Kurseong Diaries, Baking Diaries and Karmaa Diaries - The first mindful cafe of the country.

All of the restaurants lead by Jaspal are purpose driven instead of profit driven. He blends hospitality with story telling in a way that resonates with today's audience.

His journey shows resilience, compassionate leadership and a burning desire to create restaurant spaces as he strongly believes that restaurants are made to bond people, create community and not just serve food and beverage.

Ravinder Bindra
The Lady Who Ages Gracefully

Ravinder Bindra

Ravinder is the kind of woman who proves that age is only a number. Learning to drive at 60. Joining the gym at 65. Open. Curious. Evolving.

She is like a telescope — she reveals the stars like Jaspal and Divya, yet rarely draws attention to herself. Quietly powerful. Steadily present.

She is the force behind Jaspal’s mind — the grounding energy that brings clarity in chaos. At home, she is a nurturing mother to Jaspal. At work, she transforms into a sharp business advisor.

Through her unwavering belief and practical wisdom, Jaspal and Divya have been able to take bold, courageous decisions. And if you visit the café on certain afternoons, you might spot her — calmly doing her routine audit, observing, guiding, strengthening the foundation without noise.

Some leaders stand in the spotlight. Others hold the light steady for everyone else. Ravinder is the latter — and that is her true grace.

Divya Saluja Bindra
A Woman of Substance

Divya Saluja Bindra

Divya is a powerful woman — a woman of substance. She is admired, adored, and deeply respected by so many women who look up to her strength and grace.

At Karmaa, she is the creative mind behind some of our most loved and viral dishes — the Pad Thai Noodles, the Mongolian Bowl, and the unforgettable Chocolate Mud Pie, to name just a few. Her passion and precision have always turned food into emotion.

For 11 years, she nurtured Punjabi Kadhai like a baby — with dedication, sacrifice, and a mother’s heart. She didn’t just build a restaurant; she built a culture.

And now, she has courageously followed her IKIGAI. Today, she leads the iconic preschool Curious Gigglers with the same love and intentionality. She is on a mission — a powerful one — to raise children who are trauma-free, emotionally secure, and deeply seen.

Divya doesn’t just create dishes. She creates safe spaces. First in restaurants. Now in classrooms.
