About the Guest - . Dishant Pritamani didn’t enter hospitality through a formal degree, but through instinct and a drive to create spaces that feel alive. In 2013, he launched The Daily Bar & Kitchen, a venue that moves easily between neighbourhood bar, gig space, and cocktail spot quickly becoming a cultural mainstay. What began as one space has grown into a thoughtful portfolio across India.

In Goa, The Second House reimagines the dining experience through an AI led concept grounded in art, music, and storytelling, and Cafe Lento focuses on slow living, with sourdough bakes and specialty coffee. Across all his ventures, Dishant’s focus stays constant: intention, growth, and people. His approach to hospitality goes beyond service, investing in team development through initiatives that build confidence and expand perspectives. For Dishant, hospitality is about trust. The spaces he creates aren’t just functional, they’re personal, evolving expressions of his journey and values.

About the Guest - . Shalini Rattan is the Founder of Cremeyum Creamery and Affogato, two fast-growing dessert brands that are transforming how India experiences ice cream, coffee, and indulgent treats. A passionate creator at heart and a foodpreneur by design, Shalini has built her brands on one core belief: that great desserts don’t just satisfy cravings, they create moments. Her entrepreneurial journey began with a simple curiosity: Why can’t premium desserts be clean, flavour-forward, and accessible at the same time? This question led her to spend countless hours experimenting with ingredients, understanding textures, and reimagining classic flavour profiles. The result was Cremeyum Creamery, a brand known today for its rich, clean-ingredient ice creams that celebrate authentic taste without unnecessary additives. As Cremeyum grew, Shalini’s love for coffee and her commitment to creating layered experiences gave rise to Affogato a one-of-its-kind coffee-dessert brand that brings together artisanal ice cream and fresh espresso in a way India is just beginning to explore. Under her leadership, Affogato has quickly become a cult favourite, known for its signature blends, craftsmanship, and bold flavour pairings.

About the Guest - . Shreh Madan’s journey is a compelling blend of passion, grit, and creative ambition. What began behind the counter of a small smoothie bar has evolved into one of India’s most exciting food stories. A Springdales alumnus with a BSc in Hospitality and Restaurant Management from Oxford Brookes University, Shreh’s fascination with global food giants- especially their ability to deliver consistency at scale—inspired him to dream bigger. From bartending in Delhi to training at Radisson Edwardian in London, and later launching a café in Indore, his early experiences shaped an instinct for flavour, hospitality, and smart business. In 2015, this instinct led him to transform London Grill into Burgrill, pioneering a ‘mass premium’ burger category and redefining India’s burger culture. Today, Shreh leads Burgrill’s innovation, collaborations, and brand strategy while exploring new ventures like a coffee concept. Adventurous, curious, and endlessly driven, he continues building not just a brand— but a legacy powered by purpose and creativity.
