Hemraj identified his passion for food early in life and ventured out of his village to fulfil his dream of becoming a Chef.

Hemraj Meena is a Chef at Harigarh Restaurant and has been in the hotel industry since 2010. He started his journey with Quality Restaurant, thereafter he came to Ambrai where he worked for two years. Hemraj then switched to Hilltop for five to six years and is currently working at Harigarh since 2017. He enjoys his time at the restaurant in a much more familiar environment with his friends. Hemraj specializes in Indian as well as Chinese cuisine.

Hemraj belongs to Chhani village in Kherwara and had spent his childhood there and completed his 12th standard. Then he came to the city in search of a job.

Talking about COVID, he says that its impact was seen more on the middle class, but he continued to work no matter what during the pandemic and things started getting back on track after a difficult phase.

Hemraj says that without Experience one cannot learn anything new and Education forms a foundation of life, so it is equally important.

He considers his uncle who himself is a Chef and guided him through this profession as a role model. Hemraj gives all due credit to his uncle for whatever he has become today.

Talking about Leadership, Hemraj says that a leader has to work together with his teammates and sometimes has to be strict as well.

In his leisure time, Hemraj goes back home to spend quality time with his family and sometimes goes out with his friends.

Hemraj advises the youth to never give up and give more time to accomplish their dreams for which they might have to sacrifice their sleep and step out of their comfort zones. He adds that the youth should identify their field of interest and pursue it whole-heartedly.
