The Short Version

Every plate at RoRo's carries fifteen thousand kilometres of kitchens.

Rohit didn't start with a restaurant. He started with a football, a school he was elected to lead, and a cooking competition that changed everything. What followed was a decade across three countries — and a long way home to Kolkata.

The Spark

School captain on the football field, student-body president off it. It was representing his school at competitions that he first found a kitchen — and a calling. By his teens he was a state-level semi-finalist at the IIHM Young Chef India awards.

The Foundation

A Bachelor's in Hospitality & Hotel Administration at IHM Kolkata, sharpened by an internship at the five-star Oberoi Grand — where he was named a Star Trainee and earned seven "job well done" commendations.

The Detour

Before he plated food, he read it as data. A stint as a Business Analyst at Zomato gave a football tactician's brain a new playing field — understanding what people crave, and why. It still shapes every menu he writes.

Crossing Over

He left for Catalonia and a Master's in Culinary Arts & Kitchen Management at EUHT StPOL, validated by the Universitat de Girona. A new language, a new continent, and the discipline of European fine dining.

The Grind

The real schooling happened on the pass — student chef at L'Ermita, part-time chef at Nou Gras, and an internship at the two-Michelin-star BoTic in Girona. Long services, high standards, no shortcuts.

The Summit

Then, the room every cook dreams of: a stage at the three-Michelin-star Disfrutar in Barcelona — ranked among the World's 50 Best Restaurants. A season at the very top of modern gastronomy.

Climbing the Brigade

At fine-dining Can Jaume he climbed the whole ladder in under two years — part-time chef to Chef de Partie to Sous Chef. Leadership on the line, not just technique.

Across the Atlantic

A season as Sous Chef at Stage Kitchen & Bar in Palm Beach, Florida — fine dining at American pace, running a section and a team an ocean away from where it all began.

Home.

Everything he learned — three countries, five Michelin stars, a brigade's worth of discipline — comes home to Kolkata. Fine-dining craft, plated like comfort food, now served across three neighbourhoods. That's RoRo's.

In His Words

“At its best, cooking is about sustaining someone — an act of love.”
