Über Shikha

🚀 I'm a Food Technologist with a strong foundation in R&D, product innovation, and sensory science—combined with real-world experience managing the portfolio of plant-based egg products at Neggst Foods in Berlin.

💡 My passion lies in developing trend-driven, scalable food products that delight consumers and align with the future of sustainable eating. I’ve worked hands-on with cross-functional teams—from supply chain and marketing to production—turning ideas into commercially viable, purpose-led products.

🧁 Having contributed to both corporate and startup environments (Nestlé R&D, Fraunhofer Institute, Neggst), I bring agility, creativity, and a data-informed mindset to fast-paced projects—especially those at the intersection of food, innovation, and lifestyle branding.
