Kolkata Soiree
MARWAR | Aditya Mehta of White Castle Hospitality is changing the nightlife scene in the City of Joy, adding one restaurant at a time to spice it up.
Launching four restaurant brands in four years can sound like a dream to most. However, to 34-year-old Aditya Mehta, it is a reality. Co-founder and director of White Castle Hospitality, Mehta likes a good challenge, a reason why he chose to deviate from Jaypee® India Limited, his family’s established business.
It was in 2013 that Mehta and his long-time friend Varun Mimani, both from Kolkata, began toying with the idea of opening a bar in the city. The nightlife scene in Kolkata back then was pretty dormant and mostly restricted to a few five-star properties. Realising the need of more nightlife and entertainment options, the two friends decided to open a bar in Kolkata.
