Mini Kitchen India

Ranjitji was inspired to create miniature foods by his brother, 26-year-old Sanjay Thakor, also from Gujarat, India.

In 2017, Sanjay came across a YouTube video of a miniature food cooking channel and asked his brother if he’d be interested in creating something similar.

Ranjitji uses miniature equipment and utensils he finds from various online retailers and second-hand selling sites on a 1:12 scale.

The mini versions of foods are handmade by Ranjitji and Sanjay from food given to them by their father who is a farmer.

Rough start

All of the Mini Kitchen India videos are filmed at his at-home studio in Gujarat and earn him over $2,000 a month.

He said: “It was not an easy road.

“I could not afford to buy miniature cookware or a miniature stove when Sanjay suggested it to me.

“But it did not discourage me – I worked hard and saved money to collect all the miniature kitchen parts I needed”.

All in an honest day’s work

Ranjitji is thrilled with the positive reaction he received from his millions of worldwide viewers.

He said: “It’s simply been amazing.

“I have been able to have incredible sponsorships from some great brands.

“Now, I make a living doing what I love and sharing it on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Youtube.”
