The Legacy Lounge Episode 6: Kiran and Puja Verma
10th October 2024
As our next guests in The Legacy Lounge, we welcome Kiran and Puja Verma.
Kiran is considered the "godmother of Indian fine dining" and, as a self-taught chef, has been winning awards and wowing crowds for nearly two decades at her eponymous restaurant in Houston, Kiran's.
Her daughter, Puja, serves as the Director of Operations & Development at Kiran's, working alongside her mother to introduce the food of their culture to the people of Houston (and beyond).
Who better to interview this mother/daughter pair than our own mother/daughter co-founders! That's right, this episode, Deb and Chelsea Stavis share hosting duties. The pairs cover a range of topics, from running a family business to working in a notoriously difficult industry to succession planning in business.
