Dr Heramb Shelke paves a way in the F&B and EV Sector in Pune

"Restaurants and bars are extremely fast-paced. Nobody likes to walk into a bar that takes forever to serve them that one drink they've been longing for since the beginning of the week, it should be lively as well as friendly for all age groups. Restaurant business is competitive as you have to drive customers to dine and enjoy at your place more than they do in others restaurants. A majority of restaurant owners wrongly believe that if a restaurant serves good quality food, then that is enough to run a lucrative business. Good quality of products or services is something basic. Beside the quality offerings, you need to turn your restaurant business into a brand that people can trust and keep coming back to" believes the Pune-based entrepreneur Dr. Heramb Shelke.

He is is a visionary, a culinary expert and a tech enthusiast. He has made a name for himself in the city of Pune with not one but two business ventures in the fields of F&B (food & beverage) as well as a complete opposite field of Electric Vehicles.

He is the Chairman & Managing Director of two of the most iconic and acclaimed lounges in the city of Pune namely 1BHK superbar and 2BHK Diner & Keyclub, both of which have been awarded The Times Iconic Dining Outlet of the year in 2019, the Times Iconic Dining & Nightlife Outlet in 2020 and the best restaurant in the pune city from Pune Times Mirror in 2022 for their scrumptious food, unparalleled service and aesthetic decors.

The restaurants encompass a no-waste menu with a wide variety of cuisines and different experiences associated with each dish and its presentation. The menu is thoughtfully crafted with cuisines from all parts of the world and zero compromises on taste. Everything from food, service gear, and interior decor to aesthetics is absolutely original. This is one of the only places in the country where one can "Drink, Dine, Dance, Dazzle" (their famed tagline) all at the same time under one roof in a very friendly, trendy & safe environment.

Dr. Shelke is also the CEO of VTRO Motors private limited which is a Pune-based Electric Vehicle (bike) Company through which he aims at launching a consolidated ecosystem that pieces together the challenges that EV market in India faces at this point in time like expensive battery replacements, lack of dedicated parking spots, exiguity of charging infrastructure, etc. and turn them into invaluable opportunities.
