Garima Arora is an Indian chef who is best known as the first Indian female to have earned a ‘Michelin Star’. ‘Michelin Stars’ are awarded through the Michelin Guide, a series of guidebooks that have been published by the French tire company Michelin since 1904. The Michelin Guide awards up to 3 ‘Michelin Stars’ for excellence to a select few establishments in the world. In April 2017, Garima opened a three-storey restaurant called Gaa in Bangkok that curates a modern tasting menu using traditional Indian cooking techniques. She and Gaa were awarded the aforementioned ‘Michelin Star’ in November 2018. In March 2019, the restaurant made its debut on ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants’ at number 16, winning the ‘Highest New Entry’ award. In September 2022, it was announced that she would be joining, as a co-judge, MasterChef India, the Indian version of the globally popular competitive cooking game show franchise MasterChef Australia, in the show’s 7th season (starting October 2022). This made her the first female co-judge in the history of MasterChef India.
