Bhojanam, a first-of-its-kind dining concept rooted in the culinary traditions of Telugu-speaking regions, has opened its flagship restaurant in the heart of Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. Conceptualised by Pranavi & Teja Chekuri under Fullstack Ventures, the 8000 sq. ft. restaurant is designed as a thoughtful culinary journey across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
At a time when South Indian food is often grouped under one broad label, Bhojanam takes a different route by spotlighting the distinct regional identities of Krishna, Godavari, Rayalaseema, and Telangana. The menu is built around a region-first thali experience, where each thali reflects the flavours, spice profiles, and everyday food culture of its place of origin. The idea is simple yet powerful, to offer food that feels familiar, comforting, and rooted in home kitchens passed down through generations.
What makes Bhojanam stand out is its clear focus on comfort food that people grow up with and return to. These are dishes associated with memory, warmth, and everyday joy rather than complexity. The brand believes that true happiness in food lies in comfort, not in overworked presentation or heavy formality.
Sharing the vision behind the brand, Pranavi Chekuri, Fullstack Ventures, said, "Bhojanam is built on a very personal mission to preserve, celebrate, and mainstream the recipes that have lived in our Telugu families across generational kitchens. Through our earlier ventures, we've worked extensively on bringing regional flavours into contemporary dining spaces. With Bhojanam, we go a step deeper. This is not fusion, not reinvention but pure Telugu culinary heritage showcasing the most beloved comfort dishes from each region, presented with respect and served with pride. This is where Telugu food feels easy, familiar, and comforting, not heavy, not formal, not "cultural" but simply home-like. Our goal is to ensure that the next generation grows up recognising the simplicity and diversity of their own cuisine and sees it represented on the national stage."
At the heart of the menu are Bhojanam’s signature Regional Thalis, which define the brand’s culinary identity. Krishnamma Bhojanam focuses on mild and balanced flavours with coastal influences. Godavari Bhojanam is rich, festive, and indulgent. Rayalaseema Bhojanam is bold, spicy, and built for larger appetites, while Telangana Bhojanam highlights earthy, rustic flavours rooted in age-old traditions. Each thali is a complete experience, featuring starters, mains, accompaniments, condiments, desserts, and house-made beverages inspired by traditional kitchens.
Beyond the thalis, the menu includes everyday Telugu favourites ranging from Alasanda Vada to comforting gravies. Small plates are offered for those who want an extra bite without committing to full portions. Pot-cooked curries and pulavs add warmth and familiarity, while visually striking Andhra specialities cater to discovery-driven diners and younger audiences. Popular picks from pre-launch tastings include Pachi Mirchi Kodi Vepudu, Golichina Mamsam, Gongura Mutton, Fish Pulusu, Palakova Samosa, and Bellam Junnu.
Strategically located at a high-footfall junction in Jubilee Hills, Bhojanam enjoys strong visibility and easy access, along with proximity to key residential and corporate areas. With limited competition in the premium Telugu dining space and growing interest in regional Indian cuisines, the brand enters the market with a clear opportunity to lead the category.
Highlighting the scalability of the concept, Teja Chekuri, Full Stack Ventures, added, "This is a format built for scale. Telugu cuisine is vast, diverse, and loved across India. Our thali-first approach gives us the ability to expand into multiple cities and formats without compromising on authenticity or experience."
Bhojanam’s Hyderabad opening also marks the start of its expansion journey, with plans to introduce new formats in Delhi and Mumbai in the coming year. The flagship outlet will act as the cultural anchor for the brand, setting the benchmark for how Telugu dining can evolve while staying true to its roots.
Bhojanam is now open to the public, inviting Hyderabad to rediscover Telugu cuisine one region, one thali, and one generational recipe at a time.

Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru has unveiled its “101 Days of Summer” campaign, a property-wide seasonal residency running from May 1 to August 31, 2026, celebrating Bengaluru’s summer culture through immersive culinary, beverage, and stay experiences.
Part of the global Four Seasons seasonal activation, the Bengaluru edition has been thoughtfully adapted to reflect the city’s Garden City identity, combining nostalgic summer traditions with luxury hospitality experiences curated specifically for the local landscape and climate.
The campaign transforms the hotel into a summer sanctuary, offering guests a slower and more experiential approach to the season through artisanal food, botanical beverages, alfresco moments, and curated staycations.
At the centre of the experience is an artisanal gelateria concept featuring a vintage-inspired summer cart that recreates nostalgic frozen treats with a luxury twist. Signature offerings include the Java Plum in the Promenade Sorbet and the Coastal Cream Magnum Bar, both inspired by familiar regional summer flavours. The hotel’s Sunday brunches at CUR8 will also feature rotating artisanal gelatos and elaborate summer sundaes designed around seasonal indulgence.
The beverage programme introduces a specially curated “Garden City Collection” featuring cocktails and mocktails inspired by Bengaluru’s botanical heritage. Drinks such as the Nandi Hills Spritz and Silk Route Summer Float incorporate local ingredients and handcrafted elements, while the “Temperance Trail” mocktail collection offers non-alcoholic interpretations rooted in regional flavours.
Complementing the beverage programme is a dedicated Mango Residency at the Lobby Lounge celebrating India’s most iconic summer fruit. Guests can experience a mango-themed afternoon tea, Alphonso Mango Kulfi, and a range of seasonal desserts and beverages inspired by regional orchards and summer traditions.
Beyond dining, the campaign also positions Four Seasons Hotel Bengaluru as a luxury urban retreat through curated summer staycations. Garden suites, poolside experiences, wellness offerings, and leisurely dining moments have been designed to encourage guests to embrace a relaxed and immersive summer lifestyle within the city.
Signature touches such as floral-inspired beverages, alfresco lounging, and poolside culinary experiences further reinforce the property’s vision of blending Bengaluru’s local identity with the global luxury ethos of the Four Seasons brand.
Through “101 Days of Summer,” the hotel aims to transform the season into a thoughtfully crafted celebration of flavour, nostalgia, design, and experiential luxury, offering guests an elevated interpretation of a Bengaluru summer.

Six Fields has launched its Summer 2026 campaign, #CheersForMore, bringing internationally recognised cricket umpire Anil Chaudhary on board to create a fresh and engaging cricket-viewing experience. Launched during the ongoing cricket season, the campaign aims to encourage fans to celebrate not only match-winning moments but also the smaller moments that shape the game.
At the centre of the campaign is a digital film featuring Anil Chaudhary in a role not commonly seen in cricket brand campaigns. Instead of focusing only on players and high-impact moments, the campaign highlights the many events that keep fans emotionally invested throughout a match, from wides and dot balls to appeals, boundaries, near misses, and changing momentum.
The idea behind the campaign comes from an interesting insight into fan behaviour. While cricket viewers remain emotionally connected from the first ball to the last, celebrations usually happen only during major moments like sixes, wickets, or final victories. Through #CheersForMore, Six Fields aims to make every moment worth celebrating.
Using familiar umpire signals as a creative element, the campaign transforms official gestures into easy fan reactions that people can use while watching matches together. Through this approach, Six Fields hopes to build a more interactive and socially driven viewing culture among modern cricket audiences.
Speaking about the campaign, Prem Dewan, Chairman and Managing Director of DeVANS Modern Breweries Ltd., said: “Cricket is one of India’s biggest entertainment experience and our campaign #CheersForMore celebrates the energy that exists in every moment of the game. The campaign reflects this energy and encourages fans to engage more actively throughout the game.”
The campaign’s choice of Anil Chaudhary also stands out. While many cricket campaigns usually feature current or former players, Six Fields has selected a personality closely associated with the game’s structure and authenticity. Having retired from IPL umpiring only last year, Chaudhary continues to be recognised as the most experienced umpire in IPL history, bringing familiarity and credibility to the campaign.
The initiative also reflects how cricket consumption habits are evolving, especially among younger audiences. Fans today interact with matches through memes, reels, fantasy leagues, watch parties, social media discussions, and live conversations beyond television screens. Brands are increasingly trying to become part of these moments rather than simply seeking visibility.
The campaign will roll out extensively across digital and social platforms during the cricket season. It will include creator collaborations, fan participation formats, influencer content, and real-time conversations to make the cheering behaviour more engaging and visible online.
Speaking on the campaign, Anil Chaudhary said: “Every signal on the field exists because every moment matters in cricket. Through #CheersForMore with Six Fields, we wanted to bring that same spirit to fans and encourage them to stay engaged with the game beyond just the major moments.”
With #CheersForMore, Six Fields is looking to strengthen its connection with cricket culture, social engagement, and celebration moments during one of India's biggest sporting seasons. Cheers For More with Six Fields!
