Quotes
Rachel Goenka
CEO, TCSC Hospitality Pvt Ltd and restaurateur-chef
“Pune has always had an easy-going, social drinking culture, and beer naturally fits into that. But over the past few years, the beer culture here has evolved in a really exciting way. People are far more curious, more discerning, and far more appreciative of beer styles and brewing techniques than before. Beer on tap, especially, has seen a huge surge because guests today want freshness, variety, and quality. They enjoy trying different brews, experimenting with flavours, and gravitate toward places that offer a wide and thoughtfully curated tap list.”

“Baraza has been a Pune favourite for seven years, and entering our eighth year felt like the right moment to evolve. The strong recall and the love we have received over the years gave us the confidence to finally take Baraza to Mumbai. It’s a reverse trend, yes, but one that happened organically. We built something that resonated deeply here, and now feels like the right time to introduce the concept to Mumbai. If all goes well, our Mumbai outpost should open early next year.”
