Rudraprayag, Uttarakhand (Gwans Village): Harish Singh Negi, originally from Gwans village in Rudraprayag district, has today established himself as a successful Head Chef in the hotel industry. Born into a financially weak family, Harish spent his childhood working hard and supporting his family through small labor tasks in the village.
After completing his 12th standard, Harish moved into the hotel industry in search of employment. He began his career by washing utensils in a hotel. However, his dedication, passion for cooking, and continuous learning helped him grow step by step. With time, he mastered culinary skills and eventually achieved the prestigious position of Head Chef.
Harish credits his success to his father, Mr. Shur Singh Negi, a hardworking farmer who supported his family despite financial struggles. His mother, Mrs. Vimla Devi, a homemaker, always motivated him—waking up at 4 AM every day to prepare tea for him during his school days so that he could study with focus and aim high. Harish also acknowledges his sister for guiding him throughout his journey.
Harish initially dreamed of joining the Indian Army, but when his selection didn’t happen, he chose to build his career in the hotel industry. He completed his intermediate education from Government Inter College GhimtolI, Rudraprayag, and is currently working in a reputed hotel in Pune.
He shares—
“Whatever I am today is because of the blessings, guidance, and support of my parents and teachers. Their faith in me has helped me reach this position.”
Today, Harish Singh Negi has carved his own identity through hard work and determination. He has also trained many young boys in hotel management and has become an inspiration for many aspiring chefs.
