Founder and lead expert
Nitin Sikka · Sea Chef Sikka
Chef de Partie with Disney Cruise Line, at sea since 2025
Nitin started as a hotel trainee in Gurgaon in 2011 and worked his way up every rung of the kitchen: commis, chef de partie, sous chef, then eight years as an executive chef running a full kitchen, hiring and training the team. In 2025 he went to sea. He built World Cruise Jobs to give Indian job seekers the straight answers he wishes he'd had, and to keep them away from the agents who charge for jobs.
“Nobody should pay for a cruise job. Prepare properly, apply on the cruise line's own site, and keep your money.”
