The Hospitality Purchasing Managers’ Forum (HPMF) and the Indian Culinary Forum (ICF) signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at AAHAR 2025, held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. This landmark collaboration aims to bridge the gap between procurement professionals and culinary experts, fostering innovation, skill development, and sustainable practices in the hospitality industry.
Building on HPMF’s recent alliance with the Forum of Indian Food Importers (FIFI), this new partnership underlines its commitment to driving excellence across the hospitality and culinary sectors. Key areas of focus include sustainable procurement strategies, skill enhancement programs, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
“This partnership is a pivotal step in our journey to revolutionize the hospitality ecosystem in India,” said Nitin Nagrale, Founder and General Secretary, HPMF. “It reflects our vision for a more collaborative, innovative, and sustainable industry.”
HPMF acknowledged the critical role played by Chef Davinder Kumar, Chef Vivek Saggar, and the ICF core team in making this collaboration possible.
