The Lalit Group has recently launched an exciting culinary affair named "Shree Anna" - a celebration of India's forgotten millets. This nationwide promotion, hosted at all Lalit hotels, shines a spotlight on the nutritional value and versatility of millets while supporting local farmers. An event was held on the 19th of July, and it gathered some prominent personalities, including actor Dalip Tahil, Diedrah Kelly (Consulate General of Canada), DJ MaFaiza, Bharti Divgikar (mother of Rani KoHEnur), Cory Walia, and popular Chefs Gautam Mehrishi, Shantanu Gupte, and Jerson Fernandes.

Chef Rishi Kapoor (The Lalit Mumbai) emphasized the importance of millets in India's culinary heritage.

Beyond their exceptional nutritional profile, millets offer a sustainable solution that nurtures both our well-being and our farmers' livelihoods."
