Girish Chandra Jha was an Indian businessman and restaurateur known for owning and preserving the legacy of Keventers Darjeeling. He played a key role in maintaining the restaurant’s colonial-era charm, making it one of Darjeeling’s most iconic landmarks.

Girish Chandra Jha was born into a landowning family in Begusarai, Bihar, in British India. He later moved to Darjeeling, where he worked in the hospitality sector.

Jha’s association with Keventers began when he met E.G. Bee, the then-director of Edward Keventer (P) Ltd. In 1966, following Bee’s death, Jha acquired his shares and later purchased the entire business.

Keventers, originally founded in 1911 by Edward Keventer, was renowned for its dairy products and classic English-style breakfasts. Under Jha’s ownership, the establishment retained its historical significance and became a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

Girish Chandra Jha managed Keventers until his passing in 1986. His family continued to operate the business, ensuring its continued presence as a cultural and culinary landmark in Darjeeling.
