Tejashwi worked as a banker in Hyderabad before she decided to give the corporate world a miss to follow her real passion, by taking up a culinary course in IHM Mumbai. She worked as a trainee at Gaylord’s and Indigo Deli. Thereafter, she went back to Hyderabad to co-establish a casual dining space Thinespo.

Her quest to learn more got her back to Mumbai again. Starting up as a partner chef with Holachef, serving over one-lakh dishes across Mumbai, she moved on to the head the kitchen at yet another start- up restaurant, Summer Garden in Powai. This was all before she found her way to Le15 Cafe in Colaba. 

From making, curating and writing to learning, educating and obsessing over cheese, Mansi Jasani is a cheesemonger at heart. Her internship at Murray’s, New York in 2012 followed by a cheese course from the Vermont Institute of Artisan Cheese were two of her starting steps in her cheese-making journey. 

Thereafter, she has co-authored the chapter on India in ‘The Oxford Companion to Cheese,’ done an intensive cheese course from Academie Opus Caseus, France and attended several cheese conferences and cheese festivals across the globe. Mansi’s passion and fervour can be witnessed through her brand The Cheese Collective and its various events, workshops and cheese tables.
