India is the co-owner and Executive Chef at Markette, which is a modern European restaurant based in Chelsea, New York, along with The Argyle, a cocktail lounge located directly below the restaurant. This past fall, she was awarded the Young Chef Award at the 2025 Northeast Michelin ceremony. Originally from London, India has lived and cooked throughout Europe at acclaimed restaurants in Spain, France, and the UK, such as London\u2019s La Trompette and Bibendum at the Michelin House, in addition to time spent studying butchery in Scotland. Upon settling in New York City over ten years ago, India worked as Chef de Partie at The NoMad before joining renowned, late Chef James Kent at his debut restaurant, NYC\u2019s MICHELIN-starred Crown Shy, and later rising to Executive Sous Chef at sister concept, two MICHELIN-starred SAGA. At Markette, India\u2019s seasonally-rotating menu is heavily inspired by her time spent in Europe and upbringing in the UK, as well as by her Caribbean heritage \u2013 showcasing her creative, yet timeless point of view. India has accomplished so much, and it\u2019s clear in chatting with her that this is only the beginning. In today\u2019s conversation, we explore her early days in the culinary world and its lasting influence on how she approaches her work, the ways she navigates fine dining culture in her Markette menu by infusing autobiographical elements into dishes that reflect Caribbean culture, flavours, and histories, and how she built a sustainable environment for her staff through a respect-first approach to the kitchen.
