Nisha Katona
Alumna Nisha Katona is the founder and CEO of Mowgli Street Food restaurants and The Mowgli Trust, which donates over £500k annually to local and global charities. After leaving a 20-year career as a Barrister, Nisha used her savings to open the first Mowgli restaurant in Liverpool in 2014. She has since expanded to 16 locations nationwide, with a mission to enrich lives in every city she enters.
Mowgli Street Food is recognized as one of the UK’s fastest-growing companies and one of the 100 Best Large Companies to Work For. Nisha was awarded an MBE in 2019 for her contributions to the food industry. She’s also an author of four cookbooks and a TV food and business expert.
In March 2018, we welcomed Nisha back to Scarisbrick Hall School, where she gave an inspirational talk to our Sixth Form students about her career and passion for Indian food.
