Apeksha Jain is an ex-French-teacher and Food Blogger-turned-entrepreneur, who founded The Gourmet Jar, a brand of premium and innovative condiments that are completely natural and preservative-free.

Apeksha is an Economics graduate from Lady Shriram College, Delhi and has no formal training in cooking or making preserves. She is a self-taught confiturier who’s passion for cooking is guided by her instinct and a husband that loves food! The inspiration for her business came when Apeksha discovered the world of artisanal preserves & condiments during her one year stay in Paris. The banana jam was something she first tasted at a small orchard in Burgundy, and it was love at first bite. Apeksha was conferred an award for being an “Exceptional Woman of Excellence” by the Women Economic Forum, Delhi in 2017.
