ABOUT ILIKA KULKARNI
Passionate about food innovation, I have over 1.5 years of experience in Research & Development and New Product Development within the food industry. My expertise lies in product formulation, process optimization, and food safety compliance.As a Junior Research & Development Executive at Taste For Life, I successfully developed a chutney premix and gluten-free flour based on consumer demand within just 8 months. I also played a key role in developing SOPs for bulk production, researching and procuring machinery, and conducting 100+ trials per month to refine new and existing products, including breakfast ready mixes and flours.During my Food Technology Internship at Equinox Labs, I conducted 90+ food quality audits, ensuring compliance with food safety and hygiene standards. I also collaborated with clients to implement corrective actions and best practices for quality control.At Mapro, as an R&D Intern, I worked on optimizing natural food colors, conducted sensory evaluations, and ensured product quality by analyzing key parameters like acidity, preservatives, and total soluble solids. I also contributed to sales and marketing efforts by promoting products to consumers.I am always eager to explore new challenges in food research, product innovation, and quality assurance.
