June 2013, Deep started his full-time career into his own venture Home Bakers India. In his own words, Home Bakers India is not only a webpage or a Facebook group. It is a Market place and a B2B Platform for Bakers, Educators, Sellers, and Brands. He clearly expresses that Home Bakers India is not a cake appreciation platform. It is a platform where he engages in all the 4 verticals and decimates the right information from time to time. Deep feels that India is not a Baking nation like the US and the UK. But, things are changing for good. He further extends his thanks to Media, Cookery Channels and Master Chefs of the world to bring this awareness in Indian Food Industry.
Deep works in a small team to ensure minimum out of pocket expenses. He believes in doing things himself, rather than delegating it to others. The team comprises of Deepak Kumar, Chief Baker and a few assistants managing the admin errands.
Deepak has worked at Muskaan – a school for special needs children and has handled their Bakery Unit alone from Oct 2004 till March 2017. He is a Master in Bread, Puff Pastry, and Cookies.
