Turning Grief Into Ganache: A Story of Sisterhood & Strength | Ananya Khera | TEDxJIMS Rohini
Ananya shares a heartfelt journey of turning personal loss into purpose by founding her dream bakery, Ditya. Through stories of resilience, sisterhood, entrepreneurship, and growth, she explores how even the most unexpected setbacks can become powerful catalysts for transformation. "Ditya was a vision of two sisters, Anandita & Ananya. While one succumbed to cancer, the other made their shared dream a reality.As a pastry chef, my greatest joy is seeing people light up when they experience my creations. My journey began in my grandmother’s kitchen and led me to Le Cordon Bleu, London, where I specialized in Patisserie et Boulangerie. In 2024, I launched Ditya, expanding to two outlets in under a year.At Ditya, quality is key—from ingredients to presentation. Beyond desserts, we aim to build a community of comfort and care, supporting mental health, grief meetings, and anxiety groups.We’ve collaborated with Stories of Hope, Kotak Mahindra Bank, 32nd Avenue, Looks Salon, and We The Chefs, enriching our expertise. We also focus on experiential retail, hosting workshops and food stalls.Currently, we operate in Sector 63 & 50, Gurgaon, with two more stores coming soon. This journey has just begun, and I hope to inspire others to chase their dreams." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
