Jasneep has traversed many careers, from being a cabin crew to being a corporate trainer, and then becoming a coffee roaster, sharing her love for coffee.

Jasneep Kaur is a coffee roaster based in Chandigarh.

Jasneep roasts green coffee beans and delivers the same to cafes in Chandigarh. Her objective is to provide good quality, high-graded coffee to all coffee lovers. Her brand goes by the name Ikkis Coffee Roasters.

Recalling her childhood, Jasneep recollects her time spent at her grandparents' place with all her cousins. She remembers playing hide and seek and eating fresh mangoes from the garden.

Just after completing her 12th, Jasneep joined the aviation industry and worked as a cabin crew at Jet Airways for nearly five years. She shares that her passion for coffee began in aviation itself, where the beverage kick started her day. Jasneep herself is a crazy coffee lover who also found the love of her life in aviation itself. Luckily, both of them shared a love for coffee, and this is how their coffee roasting journey began.

Upon getting married, the first thing that the couple did was get a coffee machine for themselves. After Jasneep retired from aviation, she became a corporate trainer. However, Jasneep and her husband had the desire to start something together, and this was when they identified their shared passion, which lay in coffee.

The couple have traveled all over the world and tasted every type of coffee coming from diverse cultures. Their experience with coffee gave them a proper idea as to how coffee should actually taste. So both of them started their research work in 2018 and went to Vietnam to learn coffee roasting. After coming back to India, the couple bought a roaster and started practicing on it. They later concentrated on branding and design for their soon-to-be-launched startup.

Speaking about her challenges, Jasneep says that she overcame all of those by looking for positives, even in a negative situation. Jasneep derives happiness by making her customers taste her freshly roasted coffee. Her success mantra lies in her happy customers and delivering her product to their satisfaction.

Sharing her pandemic experience, Jasneep says that the first lockdown gave her ample time to sit alone and spend time with her husband for three months. She says it was the best experience she'd had since her years of traveling.The couple spent their time cooking and gardening at home. However, on the flip side, the second lockdown made Jasneep depressed, especially when her mother contracted the virus. On the professional front, Jasneep started her coffee roasting company during the pandemic.

Talking about her achievements, Jasneep says that she is proud of her education and what she has achieved so far. She has upskilled herself at every step to fit into a particular position or role. Jasneep undertook her training at the Indian Society of Training and Development to become a Corporate Trainer. She learnt coffee roasting to launch her own coffee startup. Jasneep says that it is very important to educate yourself before stepping into any field. She also considers her entry into Jet Airways as an achievement.

When asked about her role models, Jasneep says she draws her inspiration from Ratan Tata and admires him for his down-to-earth nature. She is also inspired by her mother, who raised her alone after losing her husband at an early stage.

When asked about her thoughts on education v/s experience, Jasneep says that educating yourself about something and the practical implementation of it are both different. She believes that practical experience is a little more important than education.

Jasneep advises aspiring coffee entrepreneurs to take baby steps, learn everything, and not give up in the process. She suggests they should keep an eye on their budget, focus on a cost-cutting strategy, and invest in the right way.

Jasneep advises everyone to always do what their heart says and choose a career of their choice. She adds that it is only your dedication and hard work that can land you in the lap of success.

If Jasneep could go back in time via a Time Machine, she would save some money out of her earnings, which she regrets not doing. Jasneep would make herself a home out of her income.

In her free time, Jasneep likes to workout and play with her daughter. She also likes to travel and explore new dishes. Jasneep is also a music lover and her favorite songs are "Cover me with sunshine" and "That’s the way it is." Her favorite singers are A.R. Rahman and Atif Aslam.
