Henning Biskopsto, Founder

ONLINE food delivery service GoTasty started in June 2012 in the suburbs of Bangkok with a focus on Thai restaurants and Thai customers, bringing not only top-end foreign international restaurants online, but also collaborating with local Thai street kitchens. As a small company with limited resources, GoTasty has focused its efforts on customer service and growing by word of mouth from satisfied customers. “This allows us to spend the extra effort it requires to collaborate with the smaller local vendors and bring them online,” explains Henning. “Not only does this give vendors the opportunity to grow, but it also means average Thai people have cheaper food options, allowing them to not only use food delivery on special occasions, but also as part of their everyday routine.”

The Kirn family, Founders

ESTABLISHED in 2004 by importing caviar, today Theodoré International brings in a wide range of food products from China, Australia, and Europe and has a real focus on sustainable seafood. Earlier this year the family opened its first warehouse, an impressive facility on Sukhumvit 71, which not only offers state-of-the-art storage (vegetables, seafood and meats each have their own cold rooms and dedicated preparation areas) but also an onsite dining room where the Kirn family regularly hosts dinners, featuring their products, for Thailand’s top chefs, restaurateurs, and suppliers.

Gaurav Kejriwal, Founder 

A YOUNG Indian with a “can-do“ attitude, Gaurav came to the “Land of Smiles” more than a decade ago and has made it his home ever since. He worked in the IT sector (including multinationals like Price Waterhouse Coopers and IBM) for over 12 years, before he quit the corporate world to pursue his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. His passion in the field of hospitality led him to venture into the food business and, in 2010, Bangkok’s first Indian Fast Food outlet – SARAS – was born. A new umbrella organization, ISIS, was established to capture the various elements of the organization into one entity. 

Gaurav’s vision is to build a strong brand image and take SARAS globally as an “International Vegetarian Fast Food chain.” He strives towards “excellence in food making” so that there will never be any compromise on quality or consistency.
