Ronica Rupan’s journey is a story of passion, resilience, and the magic that happens when culture, creativity, and culinary mastery collide. From an 11-year-old experimenting in the kitchen to a seasoned chef, entrepreneur, and food content creator, she has spent over three decades perfecting the art of spicing up dishes and making global flavors accessible to home chefs. Born into a rich tapestry of cultures spanning South Asia, the South Pacific, and North America, Ronica’s childhood was infused with bold spices, aromatic stews, and the vibrant traditions of her heritage. Cooking wasn’t just a skill—it was an inheritance, a language of love passed down through generations. By the time she was a teenager, she was already crafting her own recipes, blending influences from her multicultural background into dishes that told a story with every bite. Determined to deepen her culinary expertise, Ronica pursued formal training, refining her techniques and understanding of flavors. But the kitchen wasn’t the only place she thrived—she had an instinct for storytelling, a gift for making cooking feel both exciting and approachable. This led her into the world of food content creation, where she quickly gained a following for her engaging approach to cooking, seamlessly blending education, inspiration, and entertainment.
Her talent didn’t go unnoticed. Ronica collaborated with major brands, sharing her expertise and developing recipes that brought out the best in their products. But she had bigger dreams—ones that went beyond digital screens. She wanted to create something tangible, something that would live in kitchens around the world. And so, she did.
With relentless dedication, she launched Flora & Mana, her own line of thoughtfully curated food products designed to help home chefs elevate their meals with ease. Every jar, every blend, every ingredient was a reflection of her journey—a celebration of global flavors, handcrafted with care. Her brand wasn’t just about selling products; it was about empowering people to cook with confidence, to embrace spices fearlessly, and to bring joy to their tables.
This week, Ronica is taking the stage to share her story—how she turned her passion into a business, how she went from a content creator to the owner of a thriving, market-ready brand. But her journey is far from over. With exciting new projects on the horizon, she continues to push boundaries, redefining what it means to be a modern food entrepreneur.
For Ronica Rupan, food is more than sustenance—it’s an experience, a connection, a way of life. And with every dish she creates, every product she launches, and every story she shares, she’s proving that the right blend of passion, skill, and vision can turn any dream into reality.
