In the hectic lives of Instagram food bloggers, where reels are like gaudy advertisements, there is one account that has carved a niche for itself—Foodwatii. Behind the strange name and pleasant content lies Shreya, who was born on 2nd November, 2001, with a BBA and an MBA in Finance. While her academic background boasts of numbers, strategy, and balance sheets, food and art are her passions.
From Corporate Cubicle to Content Creator
Like many young professionals, Shreya began in the corporate hustle. Paper-perfect on paper—education, career path, stability. Creativity doesn’t reside in spreadsheets. It was then, during those frustrating corporate times, that she had her escape in cooking and complained about run-of-the-mill issues.
This combination provided her with her first viral series—Majdoor Meals. She cooked basic, cheap recipes while complaining about the mundanity of corporate life humorously. To her surprise, individuals resonated big time. Individuals weren’t watching recipes; they were relating to her ordeals, empathizing with her sarcasm, and complaining about their own atrocities in the comments section.
It was not a piece of cake maintaining work and content production. But Shreya’s interest and the enormous love she had for Foodwatii made her go on working.
The Story Behind “Foodwatii”
Names do carry identity, and for Shreya, it needed to be personal yet memorable. She desired it to be quirky in personality but have a strong Indian essence. Tossing ideas around, “Foodwatii” was born—a name that feels familiar and fun, much like her content.
Humor, Storytelling, and Food—The Perfect Recipe
Food creators tend to either follow one of two paths—serious, professional recipe writing or plain entertainment. Shreya, however, integrates the two in a perfect blend. She was a kid who loved writing stories and poems and was always experimenting with storytelling. Humor, also, was a second language for her, something she had learned naturally in her content.
And so, instead of giving us actual recipes, she wraps them up in down-to-earth anecdotes, cheeky wisecracks, and common-sensical comments. That is what distinguishes her. It is less a tutorial and more like a banter session with a witty friend while cooking alongside her.
Series That Made a Mark
Two of Shreya’s highest-rated series, Majdoor Meals and Diet Swad Anusar, are favorites for two very different reasons.
Majdoor Meals: Developed in her corporate disillusionment, this series is all about simple, quick meals that anyone can whip up after the office day. The real beauty lies in her sarcastic diatribes that go along with cooking—honest, biting, and always hilarious.
Diet Swad Anusar: These series were a product of her own struggle with trying to eat healthy without giving up her good foods. The idea was to show that “healthy” didn’t have to be “boring.” The good response from her viewers showed just how many shared the same issue of weighing flavor and fitness.
Both series showcase Shreya’s ability to take personal struggles and turn them into content that rings true for everyone.
The Bigger Dream of Foodwatii
For Shreya, Instagram is just the beginning. With her growing fame and innovative ideas, she’s now thinking about YouTube—and before long, her fans will be catching up with her there. But that’s not all about recipes, though. She can envision expanding into food, travel, and lifestyle blogging, making Foodwatii a brand that encompasses all that is delicious and exploratory about life. A cookbook, live cooking classes, or collaborations with other artists and chefs are well in the offing.
The greatest thing about her plan is that it’s not platform-dependent. Whether it’s short-form reels, long-form YouTube content, or offline, Foodwatii is going to be a full-fledged brand.
Advice to Future Creators
In an age where followers, views, and likes determine self-esteem, Shreya is refreshingly genuine. She has this straightforward yet powerful advice:
Prioritize passion, not numbers. If you love what you’re doing, the people will follow eventually.
Take criticism, ignore hate. Constructive criticism makes you better, but unnecessary hate should never keep you down. Be yourself. Your authenticity is the foundation on which you can establish a long-term relationship with your audience. These are lessons learned not from books, but from Shreya’s own experience of navigating two worlds and succeeding at remaining herself.

Why Foodwatii Relates
At its essence, Foodwatii is not just about food—it’s about familiar stories, humor, and human connection. In every reel, there is something in day-to-day life that resonates: the anguish of cooking after work, the guilt of splurging on a diet, or the pleasure of making something simple but good.
Shreya makes her readers feel comfortable both with recipes as well as with words and laughter. That’s why Foodwatii isn’t just another food page—it’s a community, a refuge for fellow food lovers, humor enthusiasts, and all those who crave something genuine.
Conclusion
From a finance graduate navigating the corporate world to a content creator with a growing fan base, Shreya’s journey as Foodwatii is inspiring, refreshing, and deeply relatable. Her story is proof that when passion meets perseverance, even the simplest idea—such as cooking a meal after work—can transform into something extraordinary.
And with Instagram and more exciting endeavours planned, one thing is certain: this is only the beginning of the Foodwatii revolution.
