Michelin-star chef Vikas Khanna took to his social media handle to share an amazing milestone — his dream project 'Binder' that will begin operations from February 14, 2020, in New York City. Binder is a global organisation to promote Indian heritage, arts, cinema, music, literature, and cuisine.

Khanna revealed that the name 'Binder' comes from his parents name — Bindu and Devinder and the centre is a tribute by Vikas to the ancestors, culture and heritage. He shared pictures from the prayer ceremony on his Twitter handle.
