Food Lovers

  After years of managing corporate launches and brand events, I have one slightly ruthless test for the food: when guests and influencers arrive, is what we’re serving actually worth posting? Because you can get the venue, lighting, product reveal, and guest list absolutely right, but serve average food, and suddenly that becomes the thing people remember. And honestly, who serves paneer tikka at a huge influencer event?  And suddenly a brand launch becomes a wedding buffet. This is exactly why food has to match the room. Start With the Brand My favourite launches are the ones where the food feels like it belongs there. Say you’re launching a lipstick range with ten different shades. Instead of putting out a generic dessert spread, why not create macarons in those exact shades? That was actually a slightly crazy idea we had for a recent launch. We got in touch with Pinnacle Foods , and they brought in Tapsi, their in-house dessert brand , to turn the idea into something we co...

  Planning a big networking event is a little like hosting a party where every handshake matters. You want potential clients talking to the right people, partners staying for one more conversation and guests leaving with a good impression of the company. The food should help that happen, not become another thing everyone has to manage. We recently had an event exactly like this, with people joining at different times after meetings, deadlines and a long day at work. So before the main programme began, we had beverages and small bites circulating around the room. Keep the First Bites Easy For corporate event catering , I always ask one simple question: Can someone comfortably eat this while having a conversation? If not, it probably doesn't belong in the opening spread. We went for easy-to-eat bites that left people's hands free for a handshake and their attention free for an actual conversation. These evenings shouldn't feel like another business meeting. Good food, comfort...

  A gala dinner is much more than a formal meal. It's an elegant evening where great food, meaningful conversations, and memorable experiences come together under one roof. It might be a corporate celebration, an awards night, a fundraiser, or a private gathering, the goal is always the same: create an atmosphere guests will remember long after the evening ends. That's why gala dinner catering in Mumbai is about much more than serving food. It's about creating an experience. I've always loved hosting people, which is probably why gala dinners are my favourite kind of event to plan. There's something incredibly satisfying about bringing together friends, colleagues, clients, or even complete strangers and watching conversations unfold naturally. Some of the best connections I've seen have started around a dinner table, and I genuinely enjoy introducing people who may have never crossed paths otherwise. It All Starts With a Memorable Menu The part I enjoy the mos...

  Office Catering Services in Mumbai: Choosing the Right Catering Partner for Every Business Occasion Good food has a way of bringing people together, whether it's a quick boardroom meeting, a daily team lunch, or a grand product launch. That's exactly why businesses today invest in reliable office catering services in Mumbai , not just to feed employees, but to create better workplace experiences.  However, not all catering services are the same. Daily office meals, executive meetings, and large-scale business events each have different requirements, making it important to choose a caterer that specialises in your specific needs.

While smaller business meetings or working lunches typically cost between ₹250 and ₹800 per person , executive buffets and high-end corporate events can range from ₹800 to ₹1,500 or more per plate .
