The Recipe for Success

This documentary explores the changing socioeconomics of street food through the lives of several local vendors, examining how globalization, migration, gender, and entrepreneurship shape everyday livelihoods.

Directed and filmed in collaboration with Amina Darabie and Anushka Tripathi, the project follows multiple personal stories—including Trilok's—to reveal the resilience, aspirations, and challenges behind the food that sustains communities. The film forms part of an ongoing longitudinal study, with continued documentation tracking how these businesses and lives evolve over time.
