Old Bangalore drank to slow down. Startup Bangalore drinks to switch tabs.

Venezuela has oil.

Greenland has rare Earth minerals.

Luckily Iceland has only volcanoes, glaciers, and very average cricketers.

Bob's Bar fans, you are in luck.

Yaakay Bar & Canteen in Sahakar Nagar opens tomorrow.

This is by the same folks at Bob's Bar.

[Armaan Reet @reet_armaan]

Always thought bars are place where you escape. At Byg Ventures, learning it is where you belong. Post Byg Brewski, Bob's Bar & Jollygunj - Yaakay Bar & Canteen launches next week. The why not to every why. UB Export makes an appearance on the menu. Quintessentially Bangalore.

@lightroastguy No cookie? :(

[Vishrut Mangoli @VishrutMangoli]

Met @lightroastguy yesterday at Bonomi Kormangala.
Tiramisu coffee is a must-try.
Some things that I did not know,
1)They dont use an espresso machine to extract coffee but use decoction.
2)Makes their own syrups which have way less sugar.
Absolutely amazing.
Do try it out.

The @lightroastguy magic menu!

[Vardhman Jain @lightroastguy]

Kiosk no 2 coming up, guess the location:)

[Vardhman Jain @lightroastguy]

No speciality coffee claims, simple no nonsense affordable coffee :) Menu :

Absolutely beautiful reliving the 2009 Formula 1 season via Brawn - The Impossible Formula 1 Story on Hotstar. Highly recommend!

2015-2019: Worked for Uber in Bangalore and got a chance to work in Sri Lanka
2019-2021: Worked for an edtech startup, realised this is not what I want to do and heart is in coffee
2022 onwards: Worked on building BONOMI with my partner in crime @reet_armaan, Followed our passion

[Vardhman Jain @lightroastguy]

If you are going for echoes of earth, do drop by the Bailey's stall and try out the Bailey's + BONOMI hazelnut cold coffee cocktail :)

[Vardhman Jain @lightroastguy]

After a production halt for two months, we are back online with our cold coffees. Available in Bangalore via swiggy and pan India delivery via https://t.co/DYzZMuRl1i. https://t.co/DqIAxWzMZS

You've heard of 40% margin governments. Have you heard of 80% margin airports?

[Armaan Reet @reet_armaan]

Me: bonomi can be used to make cocktails/ mocktails
Client: are they tak tak tak?
Me: what is tak tak tak?
Client: say tak tak tak
Me: <says tak tak tak in my mind>
Client: how long did it take you?
Me: 1 second
Client: that's how long it should take to make
Me: ........

Tech: when thinking of the user, think retention, not acquisition.

Hospitality: when thinking of the user, think liquidation, not placement.

Same but different

[Vardhman Jain @lightroastguy]

It's been a hectic month for the entire production team due to consistency and stability issues of our cold coffee product. First hand images of our failed experimets. :) After 58 trials we have cracked the recipe.

Throwback to a time when a GP at a consumer VC firm wanted me to 'guide' his chef how to make coffee - with BONOMI ready to drink coffee
