Praful Chandawarkar, Founder, Director of Malaka Spice
Malaka Spice was born from a love for Malay cuisine - but for Praful Chandawarkar, it’s more than a restaurant. From early experiments in hospitality to a career in derivatives trading, he turned passion into a thriving business that evolves with every generation. An athlete, philosopher, and leader, Praful draws lessons from Arthashastra, turning failures, personal tragedy, and even COVID into opportunities for growth. After losing a loved one to cancer, he co-founded the Live Life Love Life Foundation, showing that true leadership is helping people grow as human beings while building a business that matters.
