Could Anisa's business plan intrigue Lord Sugar?
The Apprentice is back with its most demanding season yet as it celebrates its 20th year on the BBC, and it continues to remain one of the most popular shows on TV.
With an average of 6.6 million viewers per episode during season 18, The Apprentice is showing no signs of slowing down as a new batch of candidates head into the boardroom ready to show Lord Alan Sugar they have what it takes to be his next business partner.
One of those candidates is Anisa Khan, who is looking to prove she is a "strong businesswoman" with her Indian-Italian fusion pizza business.
Anisa oversees everything from menu creation to operations and marketing, and is ready to show Lord Sugar she can thrive in any challenge - whether it be in the kitchen or the boardroom.
So, just who is Anisa Khan and what is her business plan? Read on to find out more about the candidate.
Occupation: Pizza company owner
Location: London
Anisa Khan is a pizza company owner and English national kabaddi player from London. Her distinct pizza menu has seen plenty of people flock to Bombay Pizza, with the Chicken Tikka Masala being among the favourites, having received "outstanding feedback" from customers.
Driven, ambitious and determined to carve her own path, Anisa believes her business has "immense potential", with its unique concept already proving its appeal.
"With Lord Sugar's support, I can turn it into a leading brand and deliver exceptional results," she said.
Anisa is keen to expand her current pizza business by opening "more dark kitchens in high-demand areas".
She explained: "This will allow me to grow the business strategically, introduce our innovative menu to more customers, and build towards establishing a nationally recognised brand."
