CHEF JOURNEY & FOUNDER JOURNEY

“I wasn’t born a baker… I was born curious.”

01
THE BEGINNING

Japan & The Beginning of Curiosity

During my 5 years in Japan while learning Japanese, I fell in love - not just with the language, but with their pastries, their cuisine, and their obsession with perfection.

02
CORPORATE YEARS

A Different Professional World

I spent years in the corporate world - BNP Paribas, AXA, BOSCH - baking was never the plan.

I left the corporate world in 2018. And then one day, my husband and co-founder of Nippon Dough, Mr. Pranay Barua, showed me a small cutout from a newspaper about a bakery program.

I didn't realise that one piece of paper would change my entire life.

Blessed to have him in my life. 🥰

03
THE DREAM

Turning Curiosity Into A Career

In 2019, I decided to follow that dream seriously. I trained professionally at APCA Mumbai, learned the science behind perfect desserts and started my first home bakery Fondant N Frost by Parmita, which I have been running successfully for the last 7 years.

04
BACK TO THE SOURCE

Tokyo & Okayama, Japan

And in June 2025, I decided to go back to the source. I went to Tokyo and Okayama, Japan, to truly understand the art of Japanese baking - the right way.

TODAY

Bringing The Journey To Mumbai

Every recipe I create, every loaf I bake, carries that love, patience and passion from my journey.

Now, I am bringing authentic, preservative-free, handcrafted Japanese breads and desserts to Mumbai, at Kandivali Lokhandwala.

Visited Nippon Dough recently and had a great experience. A delightful new spot in Kandivali! The Japanese breads are fresh and delicious. Everything here is excellent in both quality and taste, but the Melon Pan was my absolute favourite. Definitely worth visiting.

I had a lovely early evening at Nippon Dough! We ordered a chicken sando and an egg sando + castella cake. Everything was delicious and authentic. It really reminded me my trip in Tokyo! There was fresh cabbage in the sando! To make even more perfect, the owner baker served us hojicha 🤩🤩. I am already planning to come back very soon!

So thrilled to have an authentic Japanese bakery in Lokhandwala! Parmita’s baking is pure genius—she uses top-tier ingredients, and the quality truly shines through in the final product. I’ve tried the croissants, castella cake, and chicken katsu sandwiches, and everything was authentic and incredibly tasty. I also ordered the 52% Callebaut dark chocolate cake; since it’s made-to-order, the freshness and flavor were outstanding. This is easily my new favorite spot for both savory snacks and desserts. Highly recommended!

Congratulations and best wishes to Paro! Her new venture Nippon Dough has such amazing baked goods. The kare pan is so tasty, the filling is perfectly balanced in flavor and crispness. Castella cake just melts in your mouth. Love the cookie packaging. All the items are super scrumptious and delicious. So proud of her for taking this courageous step and starting her own bakery. Wishing you the best!❤️❤️🥳🥳🥳

This place is a gem! The Kare Pan is super satisfying and the Chicken Katsu Sando also has a rich filling. Their Brownie is amazing and Castella cake is soft and light. I highly recommend this place.
