Who is Anisa Khan? The Apprentice contestant who has her own Indian-Italian pizza business

ANISA Khan is one of the contestants hoping to secure Lord Sugar’s £250,000 investment in the nineteenth series of The Apprentice. 

She hopes that her Indian-Italian pizza business will impress the billionaire and allow her to beat her fierce competition.

A life in business and sports

Anisa is a “self-described go-getter” from London and is also an English national Kabaddi player.

Kabaddi is a game played between two teams of seven players, who take turns to chase and touch members of the opposing team.

In her professional life, Anisa says that she is a “strong businesswoman with sharp acumen”.

She thinks that her Kabaddi training is helpful in business as it makes her “ready to tackle every task head-on”.

Unique flavour combinations

Anisa’s business is called Bombay Pizza.

She oversees everything from recipe development to marketing and has created some truly unique pies. 

Her Chicken Tikka Masala pizza is a hit with fans and she hopes that her brand’s success shows that there is a “demand” for more “bold and creative flavours”.

Anisa wants to expand her business by using Lord Alan Sugar’s investment to “open more dark kitchens in high-demand areas”. 

She believes that this will unlock her business’s “immense potential” and that it will transform it into a “nationally recognised brand”. 

The star says that she was inspired to launch her brand after watching her father run his own restaurant. 

When asked if she deserved Lord Sugar’s investment, she said: “I’m driven, ambitious, and determined to carve my own path.

“My business is small now but has immense potential, with a unique concept that’s already proven its appeal.”

Fans can catch The Apprentice when it airs live on January 30, 2025. 

The show will begin at 9pm but will also be available to watch on iPlayer. 

Lord Sugar has been confirmed to be leading the show once again, alongside his co-stars Karren Brady and Tim Campbell.
