Mini Kitchen India
Ranjitji was inspired to create miniature food by his brother, 26-year-old Sanjay Thakor, also from Gujarat, India.
In 2017, Sanjay came across a YouTube video of a miniature cooking channel and asked his brother if he would be interested in creating something similar.
Ranjitji uses miniature equipment and utensils he finds from various online retailers and second-hand 1:12 scale auction sites.
The mini food versions are handmade by Ranjitji and Sanjay from food given to them by their father who is a farmer.
Rough start
All of Mini Kitchen India’s videos are filmed in her home studio in Gujarat and earn her over $2,000 a month.
He said: “It was not an easy road.
“I couldn’t afford miniature cooking utensils or a miniature stove when Sanjay suggested it to me.
“But that didn’t deter me – I worked hard and saved money to collect all the miniature kitchen pieces I needed.”
All in an honest day’s work
Ranjitji is elated with the positive reaction he has received from his millions of viewers around the world.
He said: “It’s just amazing.
“I was able to get incredible sponsorships from big brands.
“Now I make a living doing what I love and sharing it on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Youtube.”
