To feature a series of power packed panel discussions highlighting the power of cloud kitchens, their inherent advantages and key imperatives

The National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI)’s Mumbai Chapter is hosting India’s first Cloud Kitchen Convention on April 12, 2022 at The Lalit Mumbai. This convention will be an exclusive and first-of-its kind event by the industry and for the industry where all leading players from the cloud kitchen space will get together and share extensive information during the sessions. 

The cloud kitchen industry in India is expected to become a $2 billion industry by 2024, with the potential to expand its horizon on a global level. It will also pave the way for accelerating and revolutionising the concept of dine-in restaurants and cafes. Through this convention, NRAI aims to help this ecosystem grow to higher levels. 

The convention, to be spearheaded by Pranav Rungta and Rachel Goenka, will feature a series of power packed panel discussions with more than 40 speakers highlighting the power of cloud kitchens, their inherent advantages and key imperatives such as sustainability, profitability, growth, marketing and much more.

Kabir Suri, NRAI President and Co-Founder & Director, Azure Hospitality, said, “Creating a profitable and scalable business requires long-term financial planning and marketing. With appropriate information on the roadblocks, challenges, profitable structure, advantages, and futuristic goals of Cloud Kitchens, this convention will set a prime example for budding chefs and restaurant owners to create their own roadmap to success.” 

Rachel Goenka, Co-Chapter Head of NRAI Mumbai Chapter and CEO & Founder, The Chocolate Spoon Company, added, “The pandemic gave the burgeoning Cloud Kitchen industry a significant tailwind. We saw many standalone Restaurants pivoting to the model as an ancillary revenue stream. This convention provides a platform for the experienced players in this space to share their learnings with current and upcoming entrepreneurs.”

Pranav Rungta, Chapter Head of NRAI Mumbai Chapter and Managing Director, Mint Hospitality said, “Cloud kitchens are the disruptors that are changing the landscape of the Food Industry. Moreover, the format allows businesses to delve into the crux of channelising their financial resources in an optimum manner by eliminating extra expenditure. In terms of scalability, technology, profitability, and effective management, cloud kitchen environments can create a massive impact globally.”

This mega convention will be an immersive experience highlighting the importance of creating a sustainable cloud kitchen environment, effective management, long-term financial and operational planning, powerplay of technology in increasing productivity and much more.
