Avni Biyani, Concept Head, Foodhall says, “It’s our privilege to live in a world obsessed with and unified by food. Establishing in 2011 in Mumbai was our attempt at being part of the food dialogue that has become integral to contemporary culture. We were passionate about food and believed that everyone deserved access to good produce and quality ingredients. It was a simple premise that gave birth to Foodhall, but just as food has evolved from being a necessity to a global phenomenon, so has our commitment to food. What started as a single, ingredients-driven store is now a store chain with branches in Bangalore and Delhi.”
