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.

Rooted in the culinary traditions of northern India, the menu celebrates sweets that go beyond taste, drawing from generational recipes and memories of shared moments. At Loya, desserts are not just an end to a meal but a continuation of storytelling through flavour.
The ‘Mittha’ selection blends comforting classics with contemporary interpretations. Highlights include Badana Pearls, where rabri and saffron foam meet pistachios and almonds, and Doodh Jalebi, featuring crisp jalebis paired with pista, chuara, and aromatic kesar milk.
Adding a playful summer twist, the Kulfi Pop assortment reimagines traditional kulfi into bite-sized indulgences. Guests can explore flavours like rose petal, saffron-cardamom, royal paan leaf, and malai, offering a refreshing take perfect for the season. The Falooda, layered with almond kulfi and rose rabri, adds a cooling, indulgent note to the experience.
Among the standout creations is Gud–Ke–Maan, inspired by a cherished family recipe of badam kheer, bringing a deeply personal touch to the menu. Meanwhile, Loya Khel introduces a contemporary finish with a light chikoo mousse paired with biscuit cake and coconut elements.

Café Swasthya has announced the opening of its third outlet at MG Road Metro Station in New Delhi, marking a significant step in its mission to make wellness-focused food more accessible to people on the move.
Located within the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) network, the new outlet represents a notable milestone, given the limited and highly selective retail opportunities within metro stations. Positioned strategically near both malls and residential neighbourhoods, the café caters to commuters as well as the surrounding community.
Designed as a compact yet inviting space, the 280 sq. ft. outlet accommodates around 10–12 guests. The interiors reflect the brand’s signature aesthetic minimal, calming, and rooted in Ayurvedic philosophy featuring curated artworks and visual elements associated with Butterfly Ayurveda.
The menu focuses on wholesome, accessible offerings aligned with Ayurvedic principles. Guests can choose from breakfast dishes and snacks such as khatta meetha poha, kala chana wraps, and freshly prepared aloo samosas made with a whole wheat crust and fried in mustard oil. Beverage options include desi masala chai, buttermilk, hot chocolate, and a range of herbal and iced teas.
A highlight of the menu is Jivanti Kwath, a traditional herbal drink made using ingredients like Ashwagandha, Giloy, and Pippali, known for their role in supporting immunity and overall wellbeing.
Speaking on the launch, Akshi Khandelwal shared, “Our vision has always been to transform how people perceive wellness food by making it more accessible and inviting. This space is designed for both quick, nourishing bites and moments of pause during a busy day.”
Beyond food, the café also promotes awareness of Ayurvedic concepts through interactive elements such as a QR-based body constitution quiz and informative menu content explaining Panchamahabhuta and Tridosha.
With this expansion, Café Swasthya continues to strengthen its position in the growing wellness dining segment, offering a convenient, thoughtful alternative for everyday commuters seeking healthier choices
