In 2023, since fulfilling a lifelong ambition by becoming one of the top three finalists on MasterChef UK, Anurag decided to stay within the culinary world, doing what he loved. Anurag started AnuragFoodStory, which was developed to share his passion and love for food through guest chef events, food festival demonstrations and motivational speaking.

Now to reach more people, Anurag brings these flavours, aromas, and experiences to a wider market through POD by AnuragFoodStory offering fresh and delicious Indian cuisine inspired meals for organisations and communities, providing them with an opportunity to do something nice for their teams, employees, and residents. As simple as a tasty, healthy, and hot meal.

The concept of POD by AnuragFoodStory is inspired by the exotic spice cardamom; the green pods are synonymous with soothing aromas, premium quality and have an element of mystery in their clustered aromatic seeds. Based in South Essex, community growth and sustainability are at the heart of the business.
