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.

Healthy breakfasts are moving beyond simple salads and basic meals, with cafés across Mumbai creating menus that combine nutrition with comfort and flavour. Whether it is a quick morning bite before work or a relaxed brunch outing, several food destinations are now offering breakfast options that are both wholesome and satisfying.
Leading the list is Pantry, known for serving mindful meals without compromising on indulgence. Its breakfast menu includes the Four Cheese Omelet, bringing together mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan and artisanal gouda for a rich start to the day. For those looking for a protein-rich option, the Protein Packed Quinoa Egg Scrambled combines eggs, quinoa, cheddar and spinach into a filling breakfast plate. Another standout is the Marine Lines Wrap, filled with spicy cottage cheese, BBQ mix, peppers and lettuce wrapped in multigrain bread.
Flax Healthy Living continues to focus on lighter and nourishing breakfast choices. The Granola Power Bowl combines Greek yoghurt, fresh fruits and chia seeds for a balanced meal, while the Avocado and Garlic Butter Rye Toast pairs creamy avocado with roasted garlic butter and seeds on sourdough toast. Its smoothie bowls and parfait options, including Dragon Fruit Parfait, Blueberry Honey Parfait and Green Protein Smoothie, offer refreshing choices packed with nutrients.
Adding a creative touch to breakfast is Juliette Café & Bar, where classic comfort food meets global flavours. The café’s smoothie bowl collection, featuring options like The Beetfruit, Day Dreamer and The Green Galaxy, includes a mix of fruits, nuts, seeds and superfoods.
Those looking for sweet breakfast options can choose Japanese Fluffy Pancakes and French Toast, while savoury selections include Healthy Bowls, Quinoa Upma and Eggs Benedict Crobun. The Benne Dosas also bring a familiar South Indian touch to the menu.
Across the city, cafés and cloud kitchens are increasingly focusing on menus that balance indulgence with healthier ingredients. From protein-rich scrambles to energising smoothie bowls and wraps, breakfast options are becoming more thoughtful and diverse.
With changing eating habits and growing interest in wellness-led dining, these breakfast destinations show that healthy eating no longer means giving up flavour or comfort.

Scheduled for 24 May 2026, the event titled “Flea at Rumour” will transform the New York-inspired speakeasy into an experiential social space featuring curated wine tastings, a dedicated wine window, pop-up lifestyle brands, and music-led experiences.
Positioned as an evening for wine enthusiasts and culture-focused audiences, the event aims to combine the relaxed charm of European wine evenings with the evolving social and nightlife culture of Delhi.

The venue interiors, designed by Sussanne Khan through The Charcoal Project, feature warm lighting, layered textures, rustic detailing, and intimate seating inspired by hidden wine bars and loft-style spaces in New York.
The Flea at Rumour further reflects Delhi’s growing appetite for experiential hospitality concepts that blend food, beverages, music, retail, and community-led engagement into a single curated evening.
