Keya Wingfield

Founder & CEO of Daksh Food Inc., and Food Network Champion

Baker, Builder & Bombay-to-Richmond Flavor Rebel

Equal parts chef, entrepreneur, instructor, and mother, Keya Wingfield is as dynamic as the food she creates. While her formal culinary education took place in Richmond, Virginia, her love and passion for food began in her hometown of Bombay, India. The reigning champion of Food Network’s “Spring Baking Championship”, Keya not only enjoys baking (her first love), but is also involved in other ventures, such as recipe development, as well as her own brand of potato chips, aptly named “Bombay Chips”. She has collaborated with recognizable brands, including McDonald’s and Duke’s Mayonnaise. Her work has also been featured on “Real Housewives of the Potomac”, and in magazines all over the country.

  • Owning her own business for almost fifteen years has given Keya a unique perspective on how food can bring people, and cultures, together. She has participated in a number of charitable efforts, including a bake sale to benefit COVID relief for India. A common thread throughout everything she does is adapting the roots of her rich heritage to the world at large. While thousands have enjoyed Keya’s food, her biggest challenge to date is getting her six -year old to eat something other than Mac and Cheese.

     

    “I am on a mission to desegregate the way we consume food by recognizing culture and creating space for representation."

     

    Originally from Bombay, Keya says she has lived in the US long enough to know that the chip aisle needs to be as diverse as America. So she made these chips. They are the very first of their kind in their flavor category and also the first of many more exciting snacks to come from Keya & Co.
