The food social media influencer who is helping small business owners build their brands. Vernika Awal on #foodocracyforher

Radio Finely Chopped by Kalyan Karmakar

I am proud to present Vernika Awal in the latest episode of #FoodocracyForHer.

Vernika Awal is a Punjabi who has lived in different parts of India while growing up thanks to her father's 'transferrable job', but never in Punjab. She did her postgraduate studies in media, worked in legacy media (Times of India), then with the site Exchange4Media, before she decided to go independent as a writer. Initially through her blog, Delectable Reveries, and then her Instagram account under the same name.

On the young shoulders of Vernika rests a very mature head and her quest to discover her own roots took the shape of the Delectable Punjab series and this helped her carve an identity for herself. She sees herself as a storyteller first and was conscious not to box herself in a silo. She has written in publications such as the Indian Express, Zee Zest, Travel and Leisure and the international horeca summit, Host Milano, on different facets of Indian food culture. Not just Punjabi! She, along with her husband Shouvik Das, run a series very successful and practical online workshops on social media management, food photography and videography specifically aimed at helping small business owners to build their brands. I have attended her workshops myself and gained a lot from them. She also takes a module on social media in the Studying Food Workshop run by Kurush Dalal & Mythopia.
