Celebrity Chefs Ranveer Brar, Vikas Khanna, and Garima Arora are the judges for MasterChef India Season 7. After judging seasons 2 and 6, celebrity chef, author, and restaurateur Ranveer Brar has become synonymous with MasterChef India. 

Chef Vikas Khanna is trained at the Culinary Institute of America and New York University and was awarded an honorary doctorate by GD Goenka University in appreciation of his excellent efforts in culinary art, charity, and humanitarianism, as well as his global reach as a chef. 

Meanwhile, Indian chef Garima Arora became the first Indian woman to be awarded a Michelin star in November 2018. She collaborated with icons like René Redzepi of Copenhagen's Noma restaurant, Chef Gaggan Anand, and Gordon Ramsay.
