Chaitanya Mathur

Has given Delhi its most well-known food festival The Grub Fest. An Economics graduate from Warwick University, he is a foodie and a cricket aficionado. Extremely entrepreneurial, his first venture was Bangin Beats a portal created with the mission to promote international and domestic EDM. Passionate about the hospitality industry he is the proud owner of Bohca Bar and Restaurant and has another restaurant in the pipe line.

How did you get the idea or concept for Bohca

I had been keen on getting into the hospitality industry for a very long time. I had taken a few steps in that direction by getting involved in a food festival The Grub Fest and starting my own music portal called Bangin Beats. Now I have my first place, Bohca. It’s an inspiration from a Spanish concept that I had seen in Barcelona. It was something that was very intriguing and I realized that Delhi needed a place that had a mix of food and music and a lot of good cocktails. Thus Bohca came about.
