Puneet Gulati, a U.S.-based entrepreneur, has taken a leap into the hospitality industry with the launch of Volume UP, a new multi-cuisine restaurant located in Noida’s Sector 104. Known for his achievements in the staffing industry, Gulati is now combining his love for food and music to create a lively dining destination that promises more than just great cuisine.

Volume UP offers an entertainment-driven atmosphere with live music, open mic nights, and karaoke events, making it a hotspot for those looking to combine a meal with fun and relaxation. Gulati, a self-proclaimed music lover, shared his inspiration for the concept: “I’m a music enthusiast, and ‘Volume UP’ represents the energy we want to bring to the dining experience. Just like turning up the volume enhances music, we want our guests to amplify their time with us—whether it’s enjoying a meal or participating in one of our events.”

The shift from staffing to hospitality was not without its hurdles, but Gulati's background in recruitment helped him build a competent management and operations team. He emphasized the importance of having the right people in place to navigate the complexities of running a restaurant, and he credits his team with making the launch a success.

Volume UP is setting itself apart by offering fusion cuisine that mixes global flavors with local ingredients, creating a unique taste profile that caters to the modern diner. The restaurant also incorporates interactive digital menus and smart kitchen technology, aiming to enhance the overall customer experience. The combination of these technological features, vibrant decor, and personalized service aims to make Volume UP a memorable spot for customers.

According to Gulati, "India's diverse and vibrant food culture combined with the growing dining-out trend presents a huge opportunity for innovative restaurant concepts like Volume UP." He believes the unique blend of food, music, and interactive dining will resonate with local guests and add something different to Noida’s dining scene.

Looking forward, Gulati has ambitious plans for Volume UP. He envisions expanding to 5-7 locations across the region within the next five years. Alongside opening new outlets, he also plans to introduce delivery services and catering for both corporate and social events. With these strategies, Gulati aims to establish Volume UP as a well-known name in the restaurant sector, offering both a unique dining experience and quality service.

Chin Lung Bengaluru Launches Raw Mango Infused Wheat Beer for Summer

Chin Lung Bengaluru Launches Raw Mango Infused Wheat Beer for Summer

Chin Lung Brewery is tapping into the spirit of summer with the launch of a Raw Mango Infused Wheat Beer, a limited seasonal brew that brings together nostalgia, local ingredients, and craft innovation.

Inspired by the familiar flavours of kaccha aam, the beer is brewed using freshly plucked raw mangoes sourced directly from the brewery’s own tree. The result is a refreshing reinterpretation of traditional aam panna, transformed into a light, crisp, and highly drinkable wheat ale suited for the city’s warm weather.

The brew opens with bright, zesty aromas of raw mango, complemented by subtle citrus notes and a hint of earthy spice. On the palate, it delivers a vibrant burst of green mango upfront, followed by a refreshing saline tang through the mid-palate. A touch of black salt enhances the tartness, while a gentle layer of chilli warmth adds depth without overpowering the profile.

With an ABV of approximately 4.8%, the beer is designed to be easy-drinking and sessionable. Its hazy pale straw to light golden appearance, combined with a smooth, lightly spiced finish, makes it an ideal companion for long afternoons and relaxed evenings.

This seasonal release reflects a growing trend within India’s craft beer space, where local ingredients and regional flavour memories are being reimagined through contemporary brewing techniques. By drawing from the nostalgia of summer staples, Chin Lung continues to create experiences that resonate with both familiarity and innovation.

With this launch, the brewery offers a refreshing way to celebrate mango season—one that captures the essence of summer in every sip.
