In the wake of the Playboy Club's successful debut in New Delhi this March, Rohit Malhotra, CEO of Jay Jay Capital Investments and Kwality Restaurants Pvt Limited, has announced ambitious plans to open 12 to 15 more outlets in the next 24 to 30 months. The ultimate aim is to attain a revenue of INR 200 crore.
Jay Jay and Kwality Restaurants, in collaboration with PLBY Group, Inc., a prominent player in the pleasure and leisure lifestyle industry and the proud custodian of Playboy, one of the globe's most iconic and beloved brands, celebrated the grand launch of the Playboy Club in the heart of India's bustling capital, New Delhi. This vibrant city stands as the epicentre of the nation's most significant business, entertainment, and lifestyle scenes.
In a surprising turn of events, after previously considering no further franchise expansion for the Playboy brand in India last year, this year witnessed a remarkable shift in strategy. They have enthusiastically committed to investing a substantial sum, ranging from INR 45 to 60 crore, in expanding the brand's presence over the next 2.5 years. Speaking about this exciting expansion initiative, it was underscored that financial constraints would not hinder their progress should promising opportunities arise.
"While discussing this during an interaction, Rohit Malhotra, the CEO of the investment company and Kwality Restaurants Pvt Ltd, emphasised their intention to open 12 to 15 more outlets in addition to the existing six within the next 2 to 3 years. He further mentioned, 'We currently have four outlets in the pipeline, so achieving this target should be well within reach,' as Malhotra expressed his confidence.
With the envisioned brand expansion, the company aspires to elevate Playboy into a INR 200-crore turnover enterprise within the next two years. Currently, Jay Jay Capital and Kwality Restaurants manage six outlets in the country, consisting of five vibrant beer gardens/pubs and one exquisite Playboy Club lounge nestled within a luxurious five-star hotel in Delhi. These establishments are located in Gurugram, Delhi, Dehradun, Guwahati, and Zirakpur.
"The company is eagerly preparing for the launch of its Playboy cafe format in Bengaluru within the next month, with plans for a second outlet in the same city slated for the year's end, as stated by Malhotra. Furthermore, they have already inked deals for outlets in Kolkata, Noida, and Mohali. Malhotra expressed, 'We are actively scouting for more locations across the country.' He also revealed their enthusiasm for expanding into areas such as Chennai, Goa, and other potential destinations.
Jay Jay Capital and Kwality Restaurants assumed control of PB Lifestyle, the master franchisee that had ceased operations several years ago. Malhotra shared that just last week, they emerged victorious in a legal dispute with a former franchisee in Chandigarh who had failed to meet brand standards. He added, 'We decided last year not to extend any more franchise agreements, and currently, all existing franchisee locations are run directly by our company.
When asked about the localization efforts to align their products and services with the Indian palate, Malhotra explained that they have made adjustments in both their food offerings and services to cater to the Indian market. In terms of cuisine, they have introduced a substantial selection of Indian and Asian dishes to better suit the Indian palate. Regarding the service aspect, while the Playboy brand is renowned for its unique 'Playboy Bunnies' service, they have taken cultural sensitivities into account and have opted not to offer 'Bunny' services in India. Malhotra emphasised, 'Apart from these two aspects, everything else adheres to the international standards of the Playboy brand.

The Formula 1 weekend in Miami just got a high-powered desi twist as Rana Daggubati, Indian actor and entrepreneur, lit up the city’s nightlife with his Loca Loka tequila crew at an exclusive party that blended global glam with Indian flair.
Held during one of the most anticipated weekends on Miami’s social calendar, the event saw Rana rubbing shoulders with hip-hop legend 50 Cent, rap star Flo Rida, and Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. Photos and videos from the night captured Rana enjoying the vibe, sharing light moments and tequila shots with global icons, and enjoying a surprise performance by 50 Cent that took the energy up a notch.
Rana, co-owner of the premium tequila brand Loca Loka, was in Miami promoting the label alongside partners Anirudh Ravichander, India's music sensation and Sree Harsha Vadlamudi, a known serial entrepreneur. The Loca Loka bash became a hotspot for networking, celebration, and showcasing how Indian creativity is making waves on a global scale.
Known for fusing business with pop culture, Rana has been steadily positioning Loca Loka as a bold lifestyle brand. The F1 party was a celebration of this vision where Indian enterprise met global swagger in the heart of Miami.
From catching up backstage with 50 Cent to toasting with Flo Rida and laughing with Cuba Gooding Jr., Rana Daggubati’s Miami moment was a vivid reflection of his growing presence in the global lifestyle space.
While F1 was all about speed, for Rana and Loca Loka, it was about style, celebration, and cultural crossover, a spirited moment for Indian entrepreneurship on the world stage.

About THE Park Hotels:
THE Park Hotels – Navi Mumbai are pioneers in luxury boutique hospitality, known for their contemporary design, curated experiences, and pulse-driven energy across India’s top destinations.
Wynnd Hotels, one of NCR’s emerging hospitality names, proudly unveils The Dark Room—a striking new cafe-club concept that reintroduces the pulse of authentic nightlife to Noida. Located on the 5th floor of Galaxy Blue Sapphire Mall, Greater Noida West, The Dark Room is more than just a venue—it’s a vibe.
Designed for night owls, music lovers, and adventurers, The Dark Room channels the raw energy and allure of classic underground clubs. With bold black-and-red interiors and owl motifs across its walls, the space exudes an atmosphere that is both mysterious and magnetic. It’s crafted to evoke the nostalgia of a time when stepping into a club meant stepping into another world.
“The Dark Room is our response to what nightlife has lacked,” says Gaurav Sapra, Founder of The Dark Room by Wynnd Hotels. “At one point, entering a club was like entering another universe—where the lights, the music, and the people all combined to make you feel alive. That’s the vibe we’ve brought back here. It’s a place for those seeking more than a drink—they’re looking for an experience that lingers.”
The venue is open until 2:00 a.m., making it a perfect late-night haven for those looking to unwind, groove to live music, or dance through the night. At a time when much of the city’s nightlife has shifted toward quieter cafe culture, The Dark Room reclaims the essence of high-energy clubbing.
Beyond its music and ambiance, The Dark Room is also a premium dining destination. Guests can indulge in a diverse multi-cuisine menu, offering international flavours, gourmet bar food, and comfort dishes—carefully curated to pair with the club’s exotic beverage selection. The full-service bar features super-premium spirits, seasonal blends, and creative signature cocktails and mocktails.
Whether you're there for the beats, the bites, or the buzz, The Dark Room promises a return to nightlife that’s vibrant, unapologetic, and unforgettable.
