Jessi Singh, the co-owner of restaurants including Daughter in Law and Don t Tell Aunty, is using his influence in Sydney and Melbourne to help his home country through the COVID-19 pandemic.
On May 19, the Indian-born chef and restaurateur s five Australian restaurants, plus his venues in New York and California, will hold an $80 set-menu fundraising dinner. All proceeds will go to a three-pronged initiative to directly benefit Indian people rather than getting tied up in administration or governmental corruption , he says.
Speaking from Byron Bay where he is set to open a new restaurant in June, Singh says he considers himself to be extraordinarily fortunate to have achieved success within the hospitality industry and the ability to call Australia home.
