Meet Ishijyot Singh Surri, a celebrated chef-entrepreneur whose roots are grounded in classical techniques and whose spirit thrives on innovation. He has emerged as one of the most dynamic forces in India’s food scene, having been honoured with numerous awards, including Best Chef-Led Restaurant and Best Young Chef of the Year, blending tradition with modern creativity to craft unforgettable culinary experiences.

From training at the Taj Group to founding award-winning restaurants like Mulk under the SJI Hospitality Group, his journey—including appearances in three episodes of MasterChef India and Celebrity MasterChef—is a masterclass in dedication, creativity, and fearless experimentation.

His story begins in a family steeped in entrepreneurship. His grandfather ran a successful road construction and boarding-lodging hotel business, but Ishijyot’s earliest inspiration came not from roads or the hotel front desk, but from the kitchen. His passion for food was nurtured at home, particularly by his grandmother and mother. As a child, he often observed them cooking traditional dishes, fascinated by the textures, aromas, and techniques.

Coming from a business background, Ishijyot knew that choosing hospitality meant sacrificing weekends and holidays—as chefs work when the world celebrates. He accepted that lifestyle wholeheartedly, committed to pursuing his passion with clarity and dedication.

He was fortunate to find a mentor early in his career: the veteran and renowned Chef Ananda Solomon, who emphasized hands-on training in addition to formal education, believing that skills matter more than certificates. Ishijyot became one of his chosen few students and was selected for professional opportunities even before completing culinary school.

From a young age, he was exposed to skills like management and planning through his family, which translated naturally into the way he ran kitchens. Over time, his love for food evolved into a deep curiosity about India’s culinary heritage. He began noticing traditional dishes cooked at home, exploring forgotten recipes and ingredients. This exploration helped shape his signature style—blending global techniques with deeply rooted Indian flavours.

With SJI Hospitality, he went on to create some of Mumbai’s most talked-about and award-winning restaurants. MULK, which brings back North Indian nostalgia with authentic flavours, is now expanding into a chain, with the second outlet launched in the tourist destination of Lonavala. He is also the co-founder and executive chef of NEWS - Global Flavours(rebranded from MiniyaTurk), which serves multicuisine dishes including Goan, Italian, and Middle Eastern delicacies. His newly opened Woks n Stirs, a cosy Asian café, further showcases his innovative culinary spirit. His outdoor catering vertical, SJI Gourmet, has earned immense recognition under his leadership—catering to events from 10 to 1000 people, with bespoke catering being his forte.

His growing reputation led to appearances on MasterChef India and Celebrity MasterChef, where he demystified gourmet cooking for a wider audience and inspired young aspirants to pursue their passion. He featured in a two-episode restaurant challenge hosted at Mulk for MasterChef India and appeared as a guest on Celebrity MasterChef. The expert guidance of his mentor, the internationally acclaimed Chef Vikas Khanna, has helped Chef Surri achieve the fame and recognition he enjoys today.

His approach to food is both traditional and modern. He looks forward to experimenting with formats like food trucks and food-on-wheels. For Ishijyot, food is not just about butter and cream—it’s about flavour and soul.

Looking ahead, he is actively working to challenge myths around Indian food being heavy or unhealthy, designing menus that balance taste with nutrition. He aims to expand his restaurants and develop menus focused on conscious, healthy eating. Through his work, he hopes to educate people about the true meaning of Indian food—going beyond stereotypes of rich gravies to highlight a diverse spectrum of regional flavours and healthful ingredients.

As a proud Sikh, he believes his journey is rooted in the values of hard work, humility, and service. He hopes to inspire young people to stay true to their passion while carrying their culture forward.

Meet Harbaldeep Singh, an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and the visionary founder of Nishkam Media (www.nishkam.tv)— a groundbreaking initiative that empowers Sikh youth to become storytellers, leaders, and cultural ambassadors. By combining media training with Sikh values, Harbaldeep is tackling the global underrepresentation of Sikhs in film and television—while equipping the next generation with the creative tools and confidence to shape narratives, challenge stereotypes, and amplify their voices on the world stage.

Originally from the telecom industry, Harbaldeep left a successful career in tech to pursue an MFA in Film and Television Production, fueled by a passion for storytelling and a compelling question: why don’t we see Sikh or Punjabi stories on the world stage? His path into filmmaking grew clearer after two key events—the 2012 Oak Creek Gurdwara attack and the 2015 Turban Myths study, which revealed widespread ignorance about Sikhs in America. These moments solidified his mission: to tell authentic Sikh stories with bravery, clarity, and creative excellence.

In 2016, he launched Nishkam TV to train Sikh youth in visual storytelling—a powerful gap in traditional Sikh education. While many young Sikhs learn history, language, and music, few are taught how to express their identity through media. Nishkam Media bridges this divide, teaching filmmaking, media literacy, and leadership skills across the U.S., all grounded in Sikh values like Seva, Chardi Kala, and Sarbat da Bhalla.

Under Harbaldeep’s guidance, students have created over 20 short films, three documentaries, and several talk shows that resonate far beyond the Sikh community. Highlights include: Declaration of a Revolution, a bold documentary on the Indian Farmers’ Protest, screened at 21 international festivals, and winner of 10 awards. SEVA, a portrait of Sikh humanitarian efforts during COVID-19, now streaming on PBS WORLD, and Baywatana, a searing exploration of the persecution of Afghan Sikhs and Hindus, premiered at the Parliament of World Religions, and was an official selection at leading festivals including Sikhlens, the Sikh International Film Festival of New York, and the India International Film Festival of Boston 2025, where it received an Honorable Mention out of 80 films submitted. The film has since been screened at over 50+ venues worldwide, including prestigious institutions such as Harvard University. These films are more than creative projects—they are instruments of social change and cultural visibility.

Over the past nine years, Nishkam Media has mentored over 200+ Sikh youth. Alumni have gone on to study at institutions like Harvard, NYU, Princeton, and UPenn, entering fields such as neuroscience, marketing, and computer science—carrying with them not just technical skill, but confidence, clarity, and purpose.

In 2024-2025, Harbaldeep directed Season 1 of Kaur and Singh Vaad Vivaad, a youth-led televised Sikh debate series, produced with Jus Punjabi TV and now available as a 14-part YouTube series. In the summer of 2025, he led six intensive filmmaking workshops across California and New Jersey, training 103 students who produced five powerful short films rooted in Sikh teachings now available on Nishkam Media's YouTube channel.

Meet Gurjot Singh Kooner—a pioneer in Canadian wrestling and the first Sardar to claim the Canadian National Wrestling Championship, breaking barriers and raising the bar for the sport in Canada. Gurjot’s path to wrestling was shaped by a deep family tradition. His father and older brother passed down a legacy rooted in generations of wrestlers. Though initially uninterested, Gurjot’s outlook changed after watching his brother win medals at the Canadian Nationals. That moment sparked his passion, marking the beginning of his own journey in the sport.

Gurjot’s passion for wrestling was built at home, where his father and members of the community created the Shaheed Bhai Bhupinder Singh Sports Club, named after Gurjot's late Uncle. They transformed a shed on their blueberry farm into the Miri Piri Wrestling Club. Gurjot credits his success and work ethic to his father, Kulvinder Singh Kooner, a lifelong mentor and the first Sikh inducted into the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame for his contributions to the sport.

Gurjot is a six-time Canadian National Wrestling Champion and the first Sikh Sardar to achieve this feat. He represented Canada as a National Team athlete and coach, and captained the SFU Varsity Wrestling Team, earning a wrestling scholarship and All-American honours. Guided by the philosophy to work hard, never give up, and believe in oneself, Gurjot inspires athletes to focus on effort over results. Beyond wrestling, Gurjot is a member of Oracle Property Group, the top real estate team in Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley for the past two years.

Gurjot’s journey and Sikh identity are featured in an upcoming documentary that follows four athletes competing while wearing their kes and dastars, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of Sikh athletes. Deeply connected to his roots, Gurjot regularly speaks at Gurdwaras and camps across North America, including Montreal and Detroit, seeing this seva—serving and inspiring Sikh youth—as a key part of his journey.

Meet Jasraj Singh Kundi, a determined young cricketer from Kenya who has swiftly risen through the ranks to become one of the most promising players in the Kenya national cricket team. Jasraj’s introduction to the sport came early, inspired by his father, a cricketer with the Sikh Union Club in Nairobi. By the age of eight, Jasraj was a regular at club matches and training sessions, gradually developing a passion that would define his path. He soon joined the Sikh Union Club himself, beginning in the B team and working his way up through youth competitions to earn a spot in the A team.

His first major breakthrough came in 2016, when he earned selection to the Kenya Under-19 squad. Jasraj played an instrumental role in the team’s success at the ICC Africa U19 World Cup Qualifiers held in Nairobi in 2017. The victory secured Kenya a coveted place at the 2018 ICC U19 World Cup in New Zealand — a career-defining experience that solidified his ambitions to play for the senior national side.

Following the U19 World Cup, Jasraj continued to impress in the domestic league, earning his call-up to the senior national team for the 2019 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Regional Finals in Uganda. Kenya’s strong performance in the tournament paved the way for qualification to the 2019 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier in the UAE, marking Jasraj’s entry into international cricket.

After taking time to pursue further studies overseas, Jasraj returned to the national setup in 2023. In 2025, he represented Kenya in the ICC Cricket World Cup (CWC) Challenge League held in Jersey, reaffirming his position as a key player for the team.
To date, Jasraj has played in 18 T20 Internationals and 4 List A matches for Kenya. He made his T20I debut on 18 October 2019 against the Netherlands and his List A debut on 24 August 2025 against Qatar.

With an eye firmly on the future, Jasraj is focused on continuous improvement, both technically and mentally. He aspires not just to be a mainstay in the national side, but also to play a leading role in Kenya’s resurgence on the global cricket stage.
