Zomato, a popular online food delivery platform, has introduced a new campaign called Zomato Breaking Bread. The campaign features a chat show series hosted by Deepinder Goyal, the Founder & CEO of Zomato. The show aims to shed light on the experiences and stories of successful restaurateurs. Filmed at the Zomato Headquarters and streaming on YouTube, each episode delves into different aspects of the restaurant business, exploring topics such as the challenges faced by restaurateurs, their entrepreneurial journeys, and innovative culinary trends.
The inaugural episode of the show which was released on YouTube yesterday, showcases Zorawar Kalra, the Managing Director of Massive Restaurants. Known for his notable establishments like Farzi Cafe, Louis Burger, and Pa Pa Ya, Zorawar Kalra shares his personal journey in the restaurant industry. As the son of the renowned restaurateur Jiggs Kalra and having previously hosted the popular TV show MasterChef India in its fifth season, Zorawar Kalra brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the conversation.
Zorawar Kalra dreamt of being in the restaurant industry all his life. The glamour and the hardships were both welcomed by him because his decision to be in the restaurant business was fueled by his passion. Mr Kalra confessed during the show that, “when I was 12-13, I decided I am going to get into the restaurant business in some way, shape or form.” He recently started the Farzi Cafe in the USA because he sees his restaurants as a way of, “exporting our culture through our food.”

When restaurants have offered us such diverse experiences and have strengthened our social life, it is important to hear the stories of their origin and boom.
