Hello fellow classmates!

I am Amrith Padmanand from Mumbai, India pursuing Social media here at Seneca. I've recently graduated from the Public Relations and Event Management program at Loyalist college. I am a Malayalee by heart but Mumbaikarrr ftw.

My professional experience is in Food and Beverage communications with over four years of expertise in managing restaurants, cafes, bars, celebrity chefs and FMCG brands across India and beyond. Clients include Kellogg's, Cafe Coffee Day, ITC Foods, Redbull events, Bar stock exchange and plenty more.

When I'm not working, I'm busy eating and exploring! I am an avid foodie and I love finding new places to eat every single day. I also run a food blog known as @thehoggersblog which has around 19k followers on Instagram and I run this with a team of 6 with a fan base across India and Canada.

My weakness is a hearty bowl of ramen! I also enjoy participating in food contests primarily with burgers. My notable achievements include devouring a 1.5kg burger within 30 mins and a feature in a local newspaper! 🍔

My other interests include watching my favorite soccer team Man United, gaming and photography.

I'm also above 6 feet tall, so my friends like calling me a selfie stick! (That's what I'm used for :( )

If my name is too long and confusing you can call me thefood_dude, BabyHulk, AP, Ammers or you can just make one up once we meet.

I'm really bummed that our classes our online this term but I am looking forward in knowing this wonderful batch soon!
