Great Companies: How did you get your idea or concept for the business?
Piyush Tayal: Seed of getting into this business was laid during college days @ Queen Margaret University in Scotland; during a course of International Hospitality Management. As over the period of time, visiting numerous bars during youth, seeing bartenders playing with drinks always fantasizes their job. After completed our graduation and working for five years in Edinburgh, Scotland, I decided to come back to India. There I and my college Friend Parikshit Kakkar who is also another director in the company came up with this idea of equipping bar industry with some world class equipment’s and machinery to get Indian bar industry into new level where they can match the developed nations of the world.

Though Challenges are always part of any business and there are many different type of challenges and struggles you can face any time and at any stage like the one world is facing right now when complete hospitality and tourism industry is on hold.

Always believed in few quotes; one from Robert T Kiyosaki: - “It’s not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life, it’s what you whisper to yourself that has the most power.
And the other one from Swami Vivekananda - “We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.”
