Srishti Handa

VP of Marketing | Dave’s Hot Chicken

Srishti is the Director of marketing at Dave’s, where she works on the brand side of things, and leads strategy for its owned digital channels. She’s been there just under three years, but a lifelong fan of fried foods. Before this, she did marketing for a female-founded produce company and worked with clients such as Whole Foods, Kroger, Bristol Farms, etc.

Before that, Srishti headed up the Marketing and Communications for a lifestyle brand in India, that was ultimately acquired by India’s largest retailer, and because she’s also a lifelong fan of retail and food (just ask her bank), Srishti also led the marketing for a South-African plant-based frozen food company across Singapore, Malaysia, and India, which ultimately led to her starting a plant-forward frozen food brand called The Temperamental Chef that was sold across premium grocery stores in India. Her proudest achievement so far has been being featured in Forbes India’s 30 under 30 for The Temperamental Chef.
