Sonia Vinayak is the heart and soul behind Sahyadrica, an artisanal bakery born from her deep passion for baking and her love for the land she calls home—Pune. A self-taught baker, she spent years balancing a corporate career with a quiet yet unwavering love affair with baking. Breads, in particular, were always close to her heart, with occasional cakes bringing joy to those around her. After the lockdown, she fully embraced her dream, dedicating herself to the craft, and for the past four years, Sahyadrica has been her way of sharing that love with the world.
