Absolute Determination’, ‘High Resilience’ and ‘A Will to Achieve.’
Yes, that characterizes Manas Wadhwa, owner of One of the Best Restaurants in Delhi/NCR. Starting from a fairly humble beginning and with a ‘Go-Getter’ frame of mind, Manas has travelled a rough road to reach where he is today. From working in an event management company and distributing pamphlets on road for 200 Rs a day to a stint in a call centre, working in a Hospital as a Dr secretary thereafter and getting into Jet Airways as a cabin crew, there remained only one thing common across all the varied platforms that he traversed, and that was his passion and will to reach his goal. The path up till here wasn’t easy but the ‘never give up’ attitude helped him in paving the way through all odds.
Manas Wadhwa never lost sight of his goals and it was in 2005 when he quit his well-paid job and opened the first restaurant, Desi Vibes, in Sector 18 Noida. Determined by destiny Manas found his business partner where & when it was least expected. Manas met Varun Khera while operating one of his flights as a crew, where the two jet mates had a casual, light and open-hearted conversation about their entrepreneurial dreams and in no time they found a companion in each other. To work on his vision, Manas turned their tête-à-tête into a serious, passionate and aggressive work plan. Since then there has been no looking back, and today besides Desi Vibes, Manas most unassumingly owns many other restaurants like Kaffiiaa- Italian Café & Lounge and Nysha – Bar & grill, Ka Eclairs , The Imperial Spice, क se Kulcha and a catering company behind one of the best Corporates in Noida and Formula F1 Racing – Gr8 Catering Co.
Meet Manas and you’ll meet an extremely passionate and loving person who never stopped dreaming and turned them into a living reality. Being a non-technical person, it was only because of his love for technology, that he founded a Leading 360 Virtual Tour Company in 2012; which is now counted among the top Virtual Tour companies in India and has some of the most coveted brand names under its client list viz. Max Hospitals, Amity University, Mercedes Benz, etc.
Later in 2016, Manas became the Co-founder & CEO of WeddingPlz, which is a wedding vendor portal. He has built a scalable business model through consistent innovation and by bringing together the areas of organizational management and information technology. He has applied diverse methods from the field of design, new product development, and business thinking to create customer, business, and future insights for Weddingplz.
