S.A.A.G is a collective of hospitality industry professionals, food scholars and policy influencers from South Asian nations who believe in promoting regional unity through culinary diversity.
It is founded by industry insiders with a passion for gastronomy, each with expertise and experience that contribute to the association in distinctive ways.
S.A.A.G , through the annual Food for Thought Fest, aims to fill the lacuna which exists currently in authoritative representation for gastronomy at a regional level.
The Food for Thought Fest and its related media activities as well as the South Asian Association for Gastronomy are being designed to serve as a:
- Networking platform for food professionals, policy-makers, scholars and students
- Consolidator of existing and emerging knowledge of South Asian gastronomy, cooking traditions and culinary heritage.
- Thought leader for the region’s food and hospitality industry.
- Focal point for the region’s gastronomy sector for industry practitioners abroad.
