About Us
We started The Baker’s Dozen in 2013 with our love for sourdough, the pate ferment, the culture of what makes a bread sing. We wanted to learn and perfect the art of sourdough and share this love with our fellow Mumbaikars. We started this company with 4 bakers who knew nothing other than the fact that we were going to learn and love our sourdough. We had a small kitchen in Dadar and sold from a store in Prabhadevi. On our first commercial day of production, we hand crafted 25 loaves of bread and we were so happy and proud. Today almost 8 years later, we hand shape more than 10,000 loaves of bread a day and share our most loved creations with all of India. Each team member of our production team has imbibed the company’s motto of producing honestly delicious, fresh and healthy products to ensure each customer’s trust in the brand. Each member of our sales team knows the only way to serve the customer is ‘the secret ingredient is love’. Our inhouse master of all trades, Aditi has trained as a psychologist, HR expert and as a baker! In short, a unique concoction of skill sets which drives The Baker’s Dozen. First, she successfully established India’s first branded college merchandise store, The Wimwian at IIM Ahmedabad. However, life had something else in store for her and she decided to become a baker instead! After honing her skills at the esteemed French Culinary Institute, New York and at Le Cordon Bleu, Paris, she decided to bring authentic artisan bread to India in the way it should be - authentic, tasty, healthy and affordable. A stickler for systems, Aditi has everything planned out in excel right from baking times to email reminders. Nothing escapes her all-seeing eye. An MBA from IIM Ahmedabad and B.Tech Pharma from UDCT, Mumbai, Sneh worked with McKinsey and Co. on projects all over the world and was living it up as a high flying consultant (literally with all the travel!). However, the itch to do his own biznuz (arising from his Marwadi genes) finally overpowered any corporate aspirations and led to the birth of The Baker’s Dozen. His leadership and vision helps power The Baker’s Dozen to greater heights. The final word on anything and everything to do with TBD, do not rub him the wrong way. Not only does he have martial arts training of more than 6 years, he regularly skydives and bungees to proclaim ˜No FearAbout Us
