Aayush Madhusudan Agrawal, Founder and Director of Lenexis Foodworks, shared, “At Chinese Wok, we constantly push the boundaries of innovation while reflecting our youthful and vibrant brand identity. This immersive initiative redefines how our customers interact with us, blending fun with functionality. It resonates well with today’s digitally savvy audience and enriches every dining occasion.”
