India’s food and beverage industry is undergoing a remarkable transformation, driven by evolving consumer preferences, premium dining experiences, and homegrown brands that are successfully blending tradition with innovation. At the forefront of this evolution is a new generation of entrepreneurs who are not only building successful businesses but also redefining how Indian cuisine is experienced on a national scale.

Among these visionary leaders is Yogesh Sharma, Founder and Managing Director of Karigari Ventures, one of India’s fastest-growing premium Indian restaurant companies. Under his leadership, Karigari has emerged as a distinguished hospitality brand, earning a valuation of approximately ₹220 crore while preparing for its next phase of growth through a strategic market listing.

An alumnus of SIBM Pune, Yogesh began his professional journey in marketing with Hindustan Times, where he developed a strong understanding of consumer behavior, branding, and business strategy. Driven by an entrepreneurial mindset and a passion for hospitality, he entered the restaurant industry in 2015, successfully launching concepts such as Jungle Jamboree and The Flying Dutchman. These ventures provided invaluable operational expertise and laid the foundation for what would become his most ambitious endeavor.
