Chef Harsh Kedia

Position: Founder & CEO, Conscious Mitthaiwalla & A Diabetic Chef
Categories: SPEAKERS 2026

Harsh Kedia is a chef, entrepreneur and the founder of Cocoa & Katli and A Diabetic Chef. Diagnosed with diabetes as a teenager, Harsh turned a personal restriction into a lifelong obsession with food, flavour and innovation. What started as a blog experimenting with diabetic-friendly desserts eventually grew into A Diabetic Chef – a food brand built around the belief that eating better should never mean eating boring.
Over the years, Harsh has worked across chocolates, mithai, desserts and better-for-you foods, constantly questioning why indulgent food and mindful eating had to exist at opposite ends of the spectrum. His latest venture, Cocoa & Katli, brings together his love for modern Indian mithai, chocolate and desserts — reimagining familiar flavours for a new generation without compromising on taste or experience.
Harsh has been recognised on the Forbes India 30 Under 30 and Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 lists, and has represented Indian food innovation on platforms across India and internationally. Today, Harsh continues to build food brands, develop products and create content around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to choose between food that tastes incredible and food that makes sense for you.
