Priyanka Chopra Jonas invests in Gymkhana Fine Foods, backs premium Indian food brand

Actor and entrepreneur Priyanka Chopra Jonas has invested in Gymkhana Fine Foods, a home dining brand inspired by London's two Michelin-starred Indian restaurant Gymkhana, as she looks to back a business taking premium Indian cuisine beyond restaurant kitchens.

Announcing the investment on social media, Chopra Jonas spoke about her connection with Indian food while living overseas and how she discovered Gymkhana during a filming assignment in the UK.

“Living outside of India I constantly crave a taste of home,” she wrote, adding that she discovered the restaurant while filming in the UK.

Explaining her decision to invest, she said, “For those who want that same feeling in your home, on your dining table, I’m happy to say I’m a proud investor in @gymkhanafinefoods. From their kitchen, directly to yours.”

The announcement was accompanied by a Diwali celebration at Chopra Jonas's Los Angeles home, where the Gymkhana team prepared an Indian feast for her family and friends.

Gymkhana takes restaurant flavours to home kitchens

Based on the culinary offerings of Gymkhana, located in London's Mayfair, Gymkhana Fine Foods aims to bring the restaurant's signature flavours to home kitchens. The brand offers a range of cooking sauces, marinades and chutneys developed using recipes created and approved by the restaurant's Michelin-starred chefs.

Gymkhana is known for its contemporary interpretation of Indian cuisine and holds two Michelin stars.

The home dining brand seeks to make its restaurant-style Indian food more accessible to consumers, allowing them to recreate similar dishes at home using its range of products.

For Chopra Jonas, the investment also means her personal connection with Indian food and culture while living abroad. Her business interests span entertainment, production and consumer-facing ventures, with her investment in Gymkhana Fine Foods adding food to her portfolio.
