The CBRE South Asia’s recent survey revealed spiraling growth in the country’s Food & Beverage (F&B) segment. Owing to population upsurge, globalization and the intensified coming of internet, the country’s hotel, resorts and restaurant sectors have been coerced into resorting to F&B consultants, who master hospitality restructuring, engineering al-a-carte/preset menus and revolutionizing infrastructural elements to satisfy today’s international customer requirements. Thusplanning for F&B is no longer mere consideration rather integral to the planning stages of retail developments.

Acing expertise in this very forte is Varda Ventures, a 2015 established company that provides unprecedented F&B consultancy services that are technically accurate and constantly result oriented, to hotels, restaurants, QSRs, and catering units.
