Two People – Two Cultures – One Vision
- Some brands begin with a business plan.
- Ours began with a chance encounter in Vietnam.
- Manish, an Indian entrepreneur with over 10 years of experience in F&B, and Michael, a British professional with more than 20 years of industry experience, came from two different countries, two different cultures, and two very different journeys.
- But when their paths crossed in Vietnam, they discovered a shared passion: Indian cuisine and the ambition to build an F&B brand designed for long-term growth.
MANISH – THE SOUL OF INDIA
The Authentic Soul Behind the Brand
Born and raised in Indian culture, Manish brings something that cannot easily be replicated: a deep, authentic understanding of Indian cuisine and culture.
For Manish, Indian cuisine is more than food. It represents home, memories, spices, traditions, and the spirit of Indian hospitality passed down through generations.
With over 10 years of F&B experience, Manish plays a key role in preserving authentic flavors, food quality, and the true Indian identity across every restaurant.
Manish brings the authenticity and soul of India to every table.
MICHAEL – THE INTERNATIONAL MINDSET
The International Vision Behind the Brand
If Manish brings the soul of India, Michael brings an international mindset and global standards.
As a British professional with over 20 years of F&B experience, Michael brings strong expertise in operations, service standards, customer experience, and professional business development.
Michael transforms the traditions of Indian cuisine into an experience that is modern, consistent, and accessible to international customers, while building the systems and standards needed to scale the brand successfully.
Michael brings international standards to an authentic Indian experience.
Authentic in Soul.
International in Standard.
One understands India from within
The other sees the brand through an international lens
Manish protects the brand’s soul and authenticity
Michael builds its standards and potential for growth
Together, Indian Authenticity × International Standards, backed by more than 30 years of combined F&B experience, form the foundation of our restaurant group.
From the beginning, our ambition has been greater than simply opening great Indian restaurants.
We aim to build a distinctive brand, a standardized system, and a scalable business model.
That vision now leads us into the next chapter: Franchising — partnering with like-minded entrepreneurs to grow together and bring authentic Indian dining experiences to more customers, more cities, and more markets.
Two Cultures & Two Strengths = One Vision
Authentic in Soul. International in Standard
