Rise of Vegetarianism

Vegans around the world commemorated the creation of the “V” word in November. World Vegan Day was launched on Nov 1, 1994. The day begins the World Vegan Month. Vegetarianism is becoming popular globally. The younger generation has, in recent years, embraced plant-based food with open arms. Vegetarianism is not only popular in India, due to cultural and religious beliefs, but its popularity is increasing globally due to various factors. According to a report by research firm GlobalData, there’s been a 600% increase in people identifying as vegan in the U.S in the last 3 years. It’s pretty obvious that more and more people are moving toward a plantbased lifestyle. Ashok Malkani views the scenario and takes a look at various aspects of this growing global trend.

Ashok Malkani views the restaurant scenario and finds that the F&B outlets’ exteriors and interiors play a magnetic role in beguiling the customer to visit the place. Seating options, light, music and architecture, which constitute the restaurants’ décor, plays a big part in the success of the eating out place.
