What if the man washing your dishes today… became the founder of Australia’s most-reviewed Indian restaurant tomorrow?

That’s the journey of Dharmesh Rangparia, who arrived in Sydney on a student visa with a borrowed curry recipe and a dishwashing job. Today, he’s the co-founder of Chatkazz - a street food empire with six buzzing locations, 250+ dishes, 40+ chefs, and 28,000+ reviews.

Praised by leaders and powered by purpose, Dharmesh is proving success isn’t just about food - it’s about resilience, culture, and staying true to your roots.
