THE BAKER'S DOZEN
'The Baker’'s Dozen is a neighbourhood artisan bakery, which
offers an exquisite variety of international baked goodies. The
central idea behind our concept is to serve extremely high
quality, freshly baked, authentic European breads and
bakery products.
The essence of The Baker's Dozen is that it is led by the baker
displaying the passion behind the craft of baking. This helps
maintain the origin and the authenticity of the products we
offer. Our head baker, Aditi Handa mastered the art of
Baking at the International Culinary Institute in New York, one
of the finest in the world (formerly known as the French
Culinary Institute) and also at Le Cordon Bleu, Paris. With this
skill to bake more than 100 different varieties of
international baked goodies, without any preservatives,
chemicals, emulsifiers, etc, we opened our flagship store near
Century Bazaar, Worli in 2013. Encouraged by the positive
response, we have now opened more own-brand stores in Kemps
Corner and Bandra. We also got voted as ‘Mumbai’'s best new
bakery’ by Mumbai Mirror.
We have a 5000 sq ft state-of-the-art manufacturing facility at
Mahape, Navi Mumbai with equipment such as deck ovens imported
from Europe.
We are now present in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Ahmedabad. In
addition to our own brand stores, we stock our products at about
50 other offline and online partner stores including Nature’s
Basket, Foodhall, Star Bazaar, Hypercity, Haiko, Big
Bazaar, Gourmet West across these cities.’

The Young Entrepreneurs
SNEH JAIN
An MBA from IIM Ahmedabad and B.Tech Pharma from UDCT, Mumbai, Sneh worked with
McKinsey and Co. on projects all over the world and was living it up as a high flying
consultant (literally with all the travel!!). However, the itch to do his own biznuz
(arising from his Marwadi genes) finally overpowered any corporate aspirations and
led to the birth of Mimansa. His expertise, especially in healthcare, helps power
MIPL and Suasti particularly to greater heights. More importantly, do not rub him
the wrong way. Not only does he have martial arts training of more than 6 years,
he regularly skydives and bungees to proclaim 'No Fear'.
ADITI HANDA
Our inhouse master of all trades, Aditi has trained as a psychologist, HR expert
and as a baker!! In short, a lethal concoction of skillsets which drives The Baker's
Dozen. First, she successfully established India's first branded college merchandise
store - The Wimwian at IIM Ahmedabad. However, life had something else in store
for her and she decided to become a baker instead!! After honing her skills at the
esteemed French Culinary Institute in New York, she decided to bring authentic artisan
bread to India in the way it should be - genuine, healthy and affordable. A stickler
for systems, Aditi has everything planned out in excel - right from baking times
to email reminders. Nothing escapes her all seeing eye.
The Wise Men
SUNIL HANDA
A father figure, Sunil Handa is an established name in the education, healthcare
and packaging industries. His lectures on entrepreneurship at IIM Ahmedabad led
to the genesis of MIPL. Referred to fondly as 'Sir', he continues to be our teacher,
mentor and sometimes, required taskmaster.
DR. PRAVEENKUMAR JAIN
A leading paediatrician in Navi Mumbai, Dr. Jain is now consulting 2nd generations
of patients. Known for his calm demeanor and endless patience,
his practical knowledge and expertise helps in key decisions.
RAJIV MEHTA
Known for managing companies by his fingertips (5-6 on last count!!), Rajiv Mehta's
guidance ensures MIPL has the processes of a Fortune 500 company, even though being
a startup!! He would be hands-down the most on-the-ground board member any company
would have ever experienced.
ANAND LADSARIYA
An established industrialist, Anand Ladsariya spends more time incubating startups
and mentoring than many other corporate biggies. MIPL is lucky to have someone like
him on speed dial basis.
SUNIL SHAH
Part of HDFC's top management once upon a time and currently, India's leading family
business expert, Sunil Shah is the exact dose of medicine MIPL needs - corporate
practices in a family based startup.
