Akerkar went to the all-boys boarding school The Doon School in Dehradun.[4] He went on to study Biology and Chemical Engineering at Franklin & Marshall College, followed by a master's in Biochemical Engineering at Columbia University.[5] Throughout college in the United States, Akerkar worked in American kitchens in various capacities: dishwasher, server and chef. CareerHe returned to India in 1989 and founded Just Desserts, a cafe-pub, with AD Singh and soon launched his standalone restaurant Under The Over.[6] In 1996, Akerkar established deGustibus Hospitality, which ran India's first standalone restaurants Indigo, Tote, Neel and Moveable Feast.[7] In 2007, Indigo became the first Indian restaurant to enter the World's Top 100 and entered Asia's Top 50 in 2013.[8][9] In 1998, Akerkar left India for the United States to study the global dining trends and returned in 1999 to open Indigo in Colaba, Mumbai. In 2015, Akerkar sold his stake in deGustibus Hospitality, the company he set up, citing differences in creative vision with the investors.[10] IndigoIn 1999, Akerkar opened the restaurant Indigo in a colonial bungalow in Mumbai's heritage district of Colaba, introducing European fine-dining in the city.[11][12] With the success of Indigo, Akerkar launched a casual offshoot to the brand called Indigo Delicatessen. Indigo currently operates in Mumbai and Delhi. As of April 2019, Akerkar was in the process of launching his new restaurant venture in Mumbai called Qualia.[13] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970203611404577045382958853706 |title=An Indian Chef Questions Whether 'Indian' Food Exists|publisher=Wall Street Journal |date= |accessdate=2019-04-04}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-food-love-and-15-years-of-indigo-1980132 |title=Food, love and 15 years of Indigo |publisher=Dnaindia.com |date=2014-04-20 |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.architecturaldigest.in/content/rahul-akerkar-new-mumbai-restaurant-interior-design/|title=Check out Mumbai’s most anticipated restaurant by Rahul Akerkar |publisher=Architecturaldigest.in |date= |accessdate=2019-04-04}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/restaurateur-rahul-akerkar-s-culinary-journey/15906159 |title=Restaurateur Rahul Akerkar's culinary journey - lifestyle |publisher=Mid-day.com |date=2015-01-19 |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.fandm.edu/magazine/magazine-issues/winter-2014/winter-2014-issues/2014/02/05/flavor-from-the-soul |title=Franklin & Marshall – Flavor from the Soul |publisher=Fandm.edu |date= |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 6. ^{{cite web|author=Diya Kohli |url=https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/V4vHrXtuIYTxcyirtOuKBM/1990s-The-decade-of-junk-food-and-cola-wars.html |title=1990s: The decade of junk food and cola wars |publisher=Livemint.com |date= |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 7. ^{{cite web|author=Jess Kapadia |url=https://www.foodrepublic.com/2014/04/23/new-yorks-first-native-american-restaurant-was-run-by-an-indian-american-chef/ |title=New York's First Native American Restaurant Was Run By An Indian-American Chef |publisher=Food Republic |date=2015-07-07 |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 8. ^{{cite web|author= |url=https://www.cntraveller.in/story/voted-indias-top-50-restaurants/ |title=Who voted for India’s top 50 restaurants? |publisher=Conde Nast Traveller |date= |accessdate=2019-04-04}} 9. ^{{cite web|author=by BW Online Bureau |url=http://bwhotelier.businessworld.in/article/Rahul-Akerkar-Quits-Company-He-Created-in-1996-No-Longer-Associated-with-Indigo/05-03-2015-92536/ |title=Rahul Akerkar Quits Company He Created in 1996, No Longer Associated with Indigo - BW Hotelier |publisher=Bwhotelier.businessworld.in |date=2015-03-05 |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 10. ^{{cite web|author=Prerna Makhija |url=https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/ZDGxR7QoEeXXCTNXeaGJgK/QA-Rahul-Akerkar.html |title=Q&A: Rahul Akerkar |publisher=Livemint.com |date= |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/indigo-turns-15-founder-rahul-akerkar-on-the-journey-so-far/articleshow/34095587.cms |title=Indigo turns 15: Founder Rahul Akerkar on the journey so far - The Economic Times |publisher=Economictimes.indiatimes.com |date=2014-04-23 |accessdate=2019-03-31}} 12. ^{{cite web|author= |url=https://www.cntraveller.in/story/indigo-love-story/ |title=Indigo:A Love Story |publisher=Conde Nast Traveller |date= |accessdate=2019-04-04}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/magazines/panache/rahul-akerkar-sharpens-his-knife-for-the-new-beginning/articleshow/66296853.cms |title=Chef Rahul Akerkar gets ready for a new beginning, plans to launch restaurant Qualia in Mumbai - The Economic Times |publisher=Economictimes.indiatimes.com |date= |accessdate=2019-03-31}} External links
