About

Craft for the table, the feed, and the team

Ishani works where visual storytelling, guest experience, and people strategy overlap. Whether composing a dish for the camera, filling a dining room through social strategy, or shaping how organisations care for their people — the through-line is intentional, human, memorable work.

Trained at the Institute of Hotel Management, Kolkata, she ran her own restaurant for more than six years. Her hospitality consulting began in 2018, drawn from that kitchen and dining room — where she discovered that social media, especially Facebook ads done with culinary instinct, could outperform traditional advertising. That insight led her to found RestaurantSocial, her company offering consulting and social media management for restaurants worldwide.
